Job description

Scope automates the data collection that's slowing down the physical world. Standards are vital for the safety of our infrastructure. Spending hours manually documenting them is not. Dave is an inspector. Today he's climbing through one of Europe's biggest chemical plants, looking for the corrosion that could shut the whole site down, with a notebook and pen in hand. Tomorrow, he'll spend even longer on the part of the job he hates: turning those scribbles into a report.

We're building the best AI-native data collection layer for the 2 billion field workers like Dave. Scope radically simplifies how inspectors collect data in the field, make decisions, and produce reports. Along the way, we're building the world's largest dataset on the condition of the built world and the decisions experts make about it. It's a $2T market and we're just getting started, with ambitions.

We have grown revenue 5x in the last year and on track to reach 10M ARR in 2026 . We work with 6 of the top 10 companies in the space. Our customers inspect facilities and products for companies including AstraZeneca and SpaceX .

We've assembled a best-in-class team: acquired and future founders, people from institutions like Imperial, Carnegie Mellon and Oxford, and from firms like Goldman Sachs, Flexport and Amazon. Since launching from Entrepreneurs First in 2024, we've raised an oversubscribed $20m round led by Index Ventures , the firm behind Figma, Revolut and Wiz, with over 100 unicorns backed to date.

About the role:

Our Engineers are forward deployed focused, working closely with clients. You'll sit at the front line of our key accounts, embedded with clients. You will be running the rollout, and building tools tailored for the client. You won't be handed a ticket and told to stay in your lane. You'll own the relationship and the technical delivery, end to end. We work in person five days a week from our sunny office in Farringdon, plus time onsite with clients. We believe being together helps us move faster and solve problems more effectively and it's also more fun! We're looking for someone who wants to be the person a client trusts to make Scope work for them and is technical enough to solve real problems on the spot.

What you'll do:

Own our key accounts through the pipeline: from technical scoping, through to implementation ensuring a smooth process for the client that's live and happy. Spend time with inspectors in factories and chemical plants. Understand how they work and tailor solutions for them. Run the project plan for each rollout : timelines, blockers, who needs what and by when. Configure and build the technical pieces a rollout needs including workflows, integrations, data structures Build trust with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike.

Who you are:

We believe great teams are made up of highly agentic managers of one. People who care more about shipping results than collecting badges. You have strong project management instincts: able to manage key accounts and co-ordinate between key stakeholders, both technical and non-technical. You have 5+ years of experience and have built up enough scar tissue to know which technical decisions matter. US Citizenship will be a big plus to facilitate exciting growth plans.

Interview process:

• An initial call.
• A collaborative technical exercise with an engineer.
• An Interview with a cofounder - Jonny (CEO) or Jakob (CTO).
• Onsite Product Interview - Meeting more people on the team and getting a feel of what it would be like to work here.
• Offer!

What we offer:

Our benefits are designed to reflect our values. We offer comprehensive employee benefits, which includes the following:

• Highly competitive base and significant equity so you have a stake in what you are building
• We provide full visa sponsorship that has allowed us to have unrestricted access to global talent and build an international, diverse team
• Tools to do your job including brand new MacBook laptop + Scope merch
• Generous above-market annual leave allowance
• Full Medical, Dental coverage with Bupa
