Founding Engineer

Amplytic; Greater London; On-site; GBP 60,000 - 80,000; Full time

Job description

Company Description

Amplytic is building an AI asset manager for renewable energy portfolios across wind, solar, and storage. It creates a structured understanding of each asset by linking operational data, commercial contracts, and regulatory rules through an ontology-led intelligence layer. This gives owners and managers clear, reliable answers on obligations, performance, risks, and required actions.

Amplytic also automates the routine work that slows asset management down : tracking contract duties, identifying compliance items, checking revenue logic, validating settlements, and interpreting regulatory rules. These become consistent, traceable outputs rather than manual spreadsheets and scattered documents.

By reducing operational drag and improving the quality of decisions, Amplytic helps teams run larger portfolios with less overhead and achieve stronger investment yield across their assets.

Role Description

We are seeking a passionate and innovative Founding Engineer for a full-time on-site role in London. You will play a pivotal role in building and scaling Amplytic's AI infrastructure and technology solutions for renewable energy asset management. Day-to-day responsibilities include designing and developing scalable software, implementing AI-driven analytics, optimising system performance, and collaborating closely with diverse teams to drive product innovation. You will also contribute to strategic decision-making and have a significant impact on shaping our technical vision and roadmap.

Qualifications

• Proven experience in software engineering, including proficiency in programming languages like Python.
• Strong knowledge of AI / ML technologies, data structures, and algorithms
• Hands-on experience with cloud-based platforms and infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
• Familiarity with renewable energy industry, contract management, or financial analysis is a strong asset
• Strong problem-solving skills and a growth mindset
• Experience in a fast-paced startup environment is a plus

What we value and how we work

We operate with high ownership and zero excuses. We care about solving real customer problems. We move fast, make bold calls, and favour progress over polish. Clear thinking and relentless execution matter most.

Everyone here is a builder. You get space to act, challenge ideas, call out inefficiency, and push for better ways of doing things. We keep teams small, and trust people closest to the problem to make decisions.

In this role, you will get

Real ownership : You won’t “support engineering”—you are engineering. You’ll build the core systems that define how an AI asset manager works from the ground up.

A decisive environment : No layers, no vague asks. You get context, autonomy, and the mandate to move.

High trust, low bureaucracy : Small teams, direct communication, and freedom to build without needless gates.

A mission that matters : You’ll work on production systems managing millions in clean-energy assets, directly contributing to faster adoption of renewable power.

Deep technical growth : You’ll work across complex energy-market logic, real-time data, and full-stack engineering, with plenty of steep learning curves along the way.

Meaningful upside : Competitive salary plus meaningful equity, with direct influence on the company’s trajectory.
