Founding AI Engineer

I’m working with a well‑funded, VC‑backed AI start‑up that is building production‑grade AI agents to automate complex, real‑world customer interactions.

They already have a growing customer base and strong commercial traction and are now investing heavily in the engineering team as they enter their next stage of growth.

What set’s this opportunity apart is the founder is coming from a career in asset management in the exact domain the product is built for so they have a huge head start getting in front of key decision makers and deploying pilot’s.

They’re looking for a Founding AI Engineer to join the core team in London.

You’ll be working across:

• Production AI agents and agentic workflows
• LLM orchestration, tool calling and integrations
• Real-time and event‑driven systems
• Reliability, observability and scalability
• Customer problems from initial idea through to production

You’ll have significant influence over the product, architecture and technical direction as the engineering organisation grows.

We’re particularly interested in engineers coming from high‑growth start‑ups or AI‑native environments who are comfortable with ownership, ambiguity and moving quickly.

The expectation here is for someone with a thread of high performance throughout their academic studies (quantitative subjects, Maths, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, or Machine Learning from a top university ideally.) As well a real world experience deploying agentic solutions at scale.

London – predominantly office‑based

If you’ve built AI systems that are being used by real customers in production, get in touch.
