Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) Artificial Intelligence Cloud Computing Distributed Systems Python (Programming Language) TypeScript Core Voice Platform Backend Event Driven Architecture Kubernetes Information Technology Serverless Computing

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.
