## About the Role

* Deep hands-on experience with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex (or similar), Clay, n8n, and OpenClaw (or equivalent agent frameworks).
 * A proven track record of building real AI systems (not just demos), deploying multi-step automated workflows, and running agents in production.
 * Strong technical ability. Comfortable with APIs, scripting and system design, and able to debug and iterate quickly.
 * Graduate or early-career, ideally from a top university (Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, Imperial, or similar) with a background in Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Engineering or related.
 * Exceptionally sharp, fast-moving, intellectually curious. You use AI tools every day and push them to their limits.

Ideally with experience building:

 * autonomous research agents that gather, synthesise and structure data at scale
 * fully automated outbound pipelines (sourcing, enrichment, messaging, follow-up)
 * AI-driven financial modelling workflows.

## Description

* Deploy AI systems across the company, building and managing agent workflows with tools like Claude Code, Codex and similar, and automating internal processes across engineering, finance, operations and outreach.
 * Build agent-driven infrastructure, designing multi-agent systems that execute end-to-end (research, modelling, outreach) and managing local and distributed compute (e.g. Mac Mini clusters).
 * Own the automation stack, implementing workflows with Clay, n8n, OpenClaw and similar, and integrating APIs, databases and internal tools into cohesive systems.
 * Drive internal leverage, identify bottlenecks, and eliminate them using AI, so small teams can operate like much larger ones.
