Founding Engineer | Early-Stage AI Startup | London (Onsite)

About the Company

We’re an early-stage, well-funded AI startup on a mission to change how humans and AI collaborate. Our platform leverages intelligent automation to remove repetitive, manual work — helping teams move faster and make smarter decisions.

We’re backed by leading investors and have early traction with high-growth clients. Now we’re looking for a Founding Engineer to help us scale from concept to category-defining product.

The Role

As one of the first engineering hires, you’ll play a key role in shaping our technical direction, architecture, and engineering culture. You’ll work directly with the founding team to design and build core systems that sit at the heart of the product.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role — ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and wants to have a direct impact on both technology and company growth.

What You’ll Do

  • Build, test, and ship core product features from day one
  • Shape technical architecture and long-term engineering strategy
  • Collaborate closely with founders on product and business decisions
  • Help define the engineering culture and future hiring roadmap

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong software engineering background (Python, TypeScript, or similar)
  • Experience building scalable systems from the ground up
  • Interest in AI, data, or automation technologies
  • A self-starter who’s excited by ambiguity and ownership
  • Previous startup experience or desire to work in a 0→1 environment

What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity
  • High autonomy, flexible work, and a flat, fast-paced culture
  • The chance to build something from scratch with a world-class founding team

If you want to join an ambitious early-stage AI startup where your work actually defines the product — this is it.
