Founding AI Engineer – Hybrid/Remote (UK/EU ideal, US considered)
Competitive salary + meaningful equity & Potential opportunity for growth into CTO!
I’m working with an early-stage startup in the preventative health space that’s looking for its first dedicated AI engineer. This is a rare chance to join as a founding technical hire and shape the core intelligence behind a product designed to improve long-term health outcomes.
The Role
You’ll lead the design and build of the platform’s AI and data systems — from risk modelling to personalised recommendations — while also contributing across the app and backend. Expect a mix of hands-on engineering, rapid prototyping, and influencing early technical decisions.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Building the engine that turns user and biomarker data into meaningful insights.
- Working across the stack to improve the product experience (TypeScript/React-focused environment).
- Setting up evaluation frameworks, testing, and compliance-ready workflows.
- Establishing early AI standards and best practices.
- Helping shape the future team as the company scales.
Who Will Succeed Here
- Engineers who enjoy zero-to-one work and owning large pieces of the architecture.
- People who are curious, fast-learning, and enjoy shipping quickly.
- Comfortable moving between backend, AI models, and UI details.
- Strong communication across technical and non-technical domains.
Tech Environment
TypeScript, React, Node.js, Supabase
LLMs, agents, evaluation systems, modern AI tooling
What Success Looks Like
- Delivering the first version of the recommendation engine in the early months.
- Shipping improvements across frontend and backend rapidly.
- Introducing reproducible, evaluation-ready workflows for future AI development.
- Becoming a key influence on engineering culture and technical direction.
If you’re excited about building meaningful AI systems from the ground up, I’d be keen to chat and share more.
