Finding the humans behind AI since 2015: When Transformers were just robots in disguise

Founding AI Engineer – Sales Coaching AI – Remote – up to £130k + Equity

Are you an AI Engineer who thrives on building fast and solving complex problems?

Have you taken an idea from zero to something real, with users and impact?

Do you live and breathe AI, constantly learning, experimenting and pushing limits?

If that sounds like you, this could be the right move.

We’re an early-stage startup backed by one of Europe’s most successful fellowships. We’re well-funded, profitable, and building at pace.

About us

Launched in 2023, we’ve already built a fully working voice-based AI system that helps train sales teams in real time with a personalised approach. With just the two founders and one engineer, we’ve onboarded global clients and reached six-figure revenue. Having recently closed our first funding round, we’re now looking for a Founding Engineer to join the team and shape what comes next.

What we’re looking for

• Early-stage AI startup experience (ideally 0→1)
• At least 3 years developing, training and deploying AI models, including pre-LLM methods such as BERT
• Strong experience with modern LLMs and fine-tuning (OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, LLaMA, etc.)
• Comfortable using AI coding assistants (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, etc.)
• Bonus: experience with voice AI models or frameworks (VALL-E, Whisper, WaveNet, wav2vec, DeepSpeech, Conformer, etc.)

Beyond technical skills, we’re looking for someone with genuine founder DNA – ambitious, curious, and ready to put in the graft that early-stage life demands. You’ll need an obsession with AI, a hunger to learn, and a strong point of view on where things are heading.

What you’ll get

• Base salary up to £130k
• Fully remote – work from anywhere (HQ in Germany)
• 31 days holiday
• Dedicated learning budget
