Product Engineering Expertise


Our Engineering recruitment team have been working with both product and development leaders for over 15 years. That mix of experience means we understand how the two disciplines overlap and why Product Engineering is becoming one of the most sought-after hires in tech.

Product Engineers bridge the gap between product strategy and software delivery. They code, but they also question what should be built, not just how it should be done. It’s a role that demands technical strength, product awareness, and a genuine understanding of users. Drawing on our engineering background and product expertise, we assess candidates on both fronts, ensuring they have the technical foundation and product mindset needed to deliver end-to-end value.

Our Engineering team recruit Product Engineers for some of the most forward-thinking software and SaaS companies across the UK, Europe, and the US. They’re trusted to identify candidates who can own features from concept to launch, connect technical delivery to business outcomes, and bring measurable impact from day one.

From permanent hires to contract and interim product engineers, our recruiters are known for fast, accurate shortlists, often supporting in-house teams who struggle to find candidates with this unique hybrid skill set. By combining engineering knowledge with insight from our Product division, we ensure every placement meets both technical standards and strategic goals.

With this combined expertise, Consortia have become a go-to recruitment partner for companies looking to build leaner, smarter engineering teams with strong product capability.

Product Engineering Market Insights


The demand for Product Engineers has grown sharply since 2024, reflecting how software teams are changing. Companies are moving towards more time efficient models where engineers are building features and owning outcomes.

This shift has been accelerated by AI. As AI automates more of the heavy lifting and acts as a support service, the line between software engineer and product thinker has started to blur. Businesses are now looking for engineers who can connect product goals, user needs, and technical feasibility. What was once seen as a “unicorn” skill set has become the standard for agile, modern teams.

We recruit across all levels of Product Engineering, from mid-level developers stepping into hybrid roles to more senior engineers leading full product lifecycles. Our candidate network includes Product Engineers, Technical Leads, and Engineering Managers who combine hands-on technical skill with commercial thinking.

If you’re looking to understand more about recruiting Product Engineers, we can support you with benchmarking salaries, shaping job descriptions, and advising on market availability.

While our roots are in London, our reach is global placing Product Engineers across Europe, the US, and APAC. Whether you need a short-term contractor to accelerate delivery or a permanent hire to strengthen your engineering team’s product awareness, our recruiters can help.
