Job description
- Build and ship AI products end-to-end, from identifying the problem through to production
- Develop agentic and Voice AI systems used by real customers
- Build across Python, TypeScript, APIs, event-driven systems and cloud infrastructure
- Work directly with customers and non-technical stakeholders to understand problems, scope solutions and deliver outcomes
- Build integrations with third-party platforms and CRM systems
- Help shape technical standards, architecture and product direction as the engineering team grows
Requirements
- Around 5-10 years’ full-stack software engineering experience, ideally backend-leaning
- Meaningful hands-on experience building and shipping AI products end-to-end
- Strong experience with agentic systems, rather than purely general ML or Data Science
- Early-stage startup experience, ideally Series A or earlier
- Experience working directly with customers and non-technical stakeholders
- A Computer Science degree
Technical skills
- Strong full-stack proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript
- Excellent async Python experience in production environments
- Hands-on experience with async coroutines, httpx and AsyncOpenAI
- Strong understanding of production-grade error handling in asynchronous systems
- Experience with modern cloud infrastructure including Kubernetes, serverless and distributed systems
- Experience with Voice AI, event-driven systems and/or CRM integrations
You’ll probably thrive here if…
You enjoy the ambiguity, pace and ownership that come with an early-stage startup, rather than needing highly defined structures and narrowly scoped responsibilities.
You’re a product-minded engineer and builder, not someone focused primarily on research, traditional ML or Data Science.
And importantly, you must be able and happy to work 5 days per week onsite in London.
