Founding Engineer – Applied AI Startup

Series A | AI Product Engineering | Hyper-Growth Opportunity | London | 5 Days Onsite

We’re working with one of the most exciting Applied AI startups in London — a company using AI to transform a massive, outdated industry that has seen little meaningful innovation for decades.

They’ve identified a market with enormous inefficiencies, huge commercial potential, and almost unlimited room for technological disruption. Their platform is already gaining serious traction, and with strong funding, rapid customer growth, and a clear product vision, they’re quickly becoming one of the standout AI companies in the space.

This is a genuine rocket-ship startup environment: ambitious, fast-moving, product-driven, and full of opportunity for engineers who want to build quickly, own meaningful problems, and grow alongside the company.

The team is made up of exceptionally bright engineers, operators, and product people from top technical and startup backgrounds, and they’re looking for equally ambitious individuals who thrive in high-performance environments.

The Role

As a Founding Engineer, you’ll help shape both the product and engineering culture from an early stage. You’ll work directly on AI-powered products solving real operational problems for customers at scale, contributing across architecture, product development, and deployment.

This is a highly product-focused engineering role — ideal for engineers who enjoy building end-to-end systems, moving fast, and seeing their work create immediate impact.

What They’re Looking For

• Strong software engineering fundamentals
• High intellectual curiosity and strong problem-solving ability
• Engineers excited by startup environments and rapid iteration
• Product-minded builders who enjoy ownership
• Experience with any language but keen to pick up new languages
• Interest in AI/ML applications, automation, or intelligent systems
• Individuals who want to help build a company, not just write code

Why Join?

• Opportunity to join a genuinely high-growth Applied AI company early combining Software & Hardware
• Huge market with minimal existing innovation and massive upside
• Fast execution environment with real ownership from day one
• Small, high-calibre engineering team
• Product-focused culture where engineers influence direction
• Backed by strong investors with significant growth plans
• Clear progression opportunities as the company scales rapidly

Details

• London-based
• Competitive salary + meaningful equity

Perfect for ambitious engineers who want the intensity, ownership, and upside of an early-stage startup — while building AI products with real-world impact in an industry ready for transformation.
