Rocksteady Music School is the UK’s largest rock and pop school. We teach fun and inclusive in-school band lessons to primary age children. Our mission is simple: to amplify children's self-belief and remove barriers to music education. We’re currently in thousands of schools in the UK, teaching tens of thousands of children every week – and we’re growing fast.
Our two offices in Liphook and Birmingham are home to our central office teams, supporting the scale of our business. From there, we all play our part in supporting our band leaders to reach as many children as possible with their lessons. We are a community of music lovers using our individual talents to help give children the self-belief to succeed. That’s what gets us out of bed in the morning.
We are seeking a Product Engineer to build and maintain the software systems that connect Rocksteady's staff, schools, families and children into coordinated, structured outputs.
The Product Engineer is a technology partner to the business, not a task executor or service desk. This role exists to understand real problems, challenge assumptions and build the right solutions in close collaboration with stakeholders.
As a Product Engineer you will:
Act as the named technology partner for assigned business domains, building trusted stakeholder relationships and providing contextual support
Attend domain stakeholder team meetings or stand ups, in person where possible
Lead assigned workstreams end-to-end: understand the problem, plan the work, deliver the outcome
Write Technical Plans defining how work will be implemented
Build the software
Demo work in progress to stakeholders before shipping and take ownership of what is shipped
Proactively explore solutions to problems, asking the right questions of stakeholders, data and strategy
Build relationships with stakeholders and help stakeholders articulate needs, into the intake process
Maintain up-to-date technical documentation and ensure the domain roadmap is accurate
As a Product Engineer you’ll need:
A minimum of 5 years in Product Engineering/Software Development
Experience in modern-but-well-established tools e.g. React, React Native, Ruby on Rails
Ability to adapt and embrace evolving tools and methods to produce reliable, production-ready code
Solid understanding of system architecture, data modelling, security and performance principles
Experience working on complex, business-critical systems
Analytical thinking, including debugging and performance optimisation
Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building skills
Clear communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to non-technical audiences
Confidence presenting, demoing and engaging with stakeholders regularly
Curiosity about business operations and what drives value and outcomes
A product mindset, focusing on solving the right problems before building solutions
Good judgment on when to act autonomously and when to escalate
Awareness of team and business priorities, and how your work contributes to them

Opportunities to work with the Rocksteady Foundation, reaching children and young people in charities and support groups across the UK.
Every once in a while, you get the chance to be part of something really special. When you join Rocksteady, you know immediately that you’ve found it. We might be growing fast but we pay special attention to protecting our unique working culture and ensuring everyone feels comfortable to be themselves at work. We look out for each other, welcome new colleagues as friends and stay true to our small-company roots; rolling up our sleeves if a job needs doing, solving problems together and, most importantly, always putting the children first. Likeminded people are joining us and we’re reaching more and more children with our lessons every week. We keep growing because we’re driven by our passion for the life-changing nature of music.
Join us and use your skills for good.
