About 16VC
16VC is a London-headquartered venture capital firm and venture studio backing founders building the future of enterprise software, AI, and deep technology.
We invest in ambitious founders and actively help build products, systems, and platforms that support startups, operators, and venture ecosystems. Our focus areas include AI & Machine Learning, Enterprise Software, Deep Tech, FinTech, Web3, Creator Economy, and Consumer Technology.
We’re looking for exceptional Product Engineers who enjoy building products from zero to one, shipping quickly, and solving real-world problems.
Location & Collaboration
This is a remote-first role, and candidates may be based anywhere globally.
While 16VC is headquartered in London, much of our founder, product, and venture studio activity takes place in Bengaluru, India.
Annual In-Person Requirement: Team members are expected to spend a minimum of 4 weeks per year in Bengaluru, India for planning sessions, founder meetings, team collaboration, workshops, and company events.
Additional travel may occasionally be required for portfolio company engagements, conferences, investor events, or offsite gatherings.
The Role
As a Product Engineer at 16VC, you will work at the intersection of engineering, product, design, startups, and AI.
This is not a traditional engineering role focused solely on implementation. We are looking for builders who can understand problems, propose solutions, design experiences, write code, and ship products that people actually use.
You will work directly with founders, operators, advisors, and leadership teams across the 16VC ecosystem.

- Build full-stack web applications and internal tools
- Integrate AI models, APIs, databases, and third-party platforms
- Rapidly prototype and validate new concepts
- Improve usability, performance, security, and reliability
- Own projects end-to-end and drive execution independently
- Contribute to product strategy, user experience, and technical decisions
Required Qualifications
- Strong software engineering fundamentals
- Experience building and shipping production applications
- Experience working across frontend and backend systems
- Strong problem-solving and communication skills

Nice to Have

- Side projects with active users
- Open-source contributions
- Experience building AI-native products
- Experience working in early-stage startups
- UI/UX design experience
- Experience launching products with real customers
What We’re Looking For
We value people who:
- Move quickly and execute with urgency
- Take ownership without waiting for instructions
- Think about products, not just code
- Enjoy learning new technologies
- Care deeply about users and outcomes
- Thrive in ambiguity and early-stage environments
- Have a builder mentality and a bias toward action
We care far more about what you have built than where you have worked.
Why Join 16VC
- Build products used by founders, operators, and startups
- Work directly with venture-backed companies and emerging technologies
- Gain exposure to AI, enterprise software, and venture capital
- Contribute to products from concept to launch

If you’re a builder who enjoys moving fast and creating products that people actually use, we’d love to hear from you.
