Forward Deployed Engineer required for early-stage AI start-up in London building applied AI systems for ambitious companies to help bring them into production.

This is the position that suits the kind of engineer who wants to build fast, work closely with customers, and own real outcomes.

About you:

• Language agnostic: have strong backend or full-stack engineering fundamentals
• Can design and ship scalable production systems
• Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
• Care deeply about customer impact
• Experience as a Forward Deployed Engineer / working closely with customers
• Degree or background in Aeronautical Engineering
• Competitive compensation + meaningful, founding level equity
• Significant ownership from day one
• Direct access to customers, product decisions, and company strategy
• Ability to shape both the product and engineering culture early
• Fast shipping cycles with immediate real-world impact
• Small, high-calibre team with minimal bureaucracy

Early-stage start-up.

Small team.

High ownership.

Meaningful equity.

If you're a strong engineer who enjoys building with customers instead of behind layers of process, this is worth a conversation.
