Job description

We're partnering with an ambitious Generative AI startup building cutting-edge AI products designed to redefine an entire industry!

The company is led by Oxford and Cambridge educated founders who have collectively achieved three successful exits, and they're now building their most ambitious venture yet

You'll be joining a small group of experienced founding engineers who have done it before, and worked at the frontier of Generative AI and Voice AI systems. This is a true zero-to-one environment where engineering decisions directly shape the product and company trajectory

The Role

We're looking for engineers who don't wait for tickets to tell them what to do. The kind who enjoy diving into messy problems, speaking to real users, spotting bottlenecks early, and designing solutions that actually ship

If ambiguity energizes you, ownership feels natural, and you want real influence over product and technical direction, you'll feel very at home here!

• 4+ years building full-stack applications with either Node/React or Python/React
• Experience working in a fast-moving, high-agency engineering environment
• Computer Science, Engineering, or STEM degree from a top-tier university
• Strong product instinct and ability to operate in early-stage environments
• Up to £200k base salary
• Meaningful founding equity
• Opportunity to work closely with repeat founders building their 4th successful company
• The chance to build next-generation Generative AI and Voice AI technology from the ground up
