Compensation : £40,000–£60,000 + discretionary bonus

About Steadrock Capital

Steadrock is a London-based multifamily office and investment firm operating at the intersection of real estate private equity, AI compute infrastructure, and quantitative finance.

We recently acquired 10 Queen’s Gate Place (SW7) for redevelopment into six luxury units (Grade II listed) with a projected GDV materially above £17M. Alongside our real estate strategy, we operate a dedicated AI infrastructure stack centered on an NVIDIA DGX system, used for in-house modelling, automation, and agent development. We are building a small, elite technical team. This role is a core pillar of that team.

Role :

AI & Systems Engineer. This is a hybrid role blending backend engineering, GPU systems, AI agent development, and automation. You will work directly with the founder, our economics lead, and our quantitative modelling lead. This is not a corporate environment. We move fast, prefer clean architecture, and value people who can think independently.

Core Responsibilities

• Compute Infrastructure (DGX)
• Manage our NVIDIA DGX server (Linux environment, CUDA, system health)
• Build, test, and maintain internal APIs (FastAPI / Flask)
• Design stable ngrok / reverse-proxy / network connections for remote access
• Optimise GPU utilisation and monitor performance
• AI Agent & Automation Development
• Build internal agents that automate :
• document extraction (PDFs, planning papers, legal documents)
• real estate data ingestion
• CV filtering algorithms
• email workflows
• Integrate LLM APIs and vector databases
• Develop pipelines for fine-tuning, embeddings, inference
• Backend & Internal Tools
• Build the “Steadrock OS” : internal dashboards, scheduling tools, risk engines
• Maintain Python codebase, Git repositories, environments
• Connect iPhone / iPad workflows with backend systems
• Data & Real Estate Interfaces
• Compile property listings data
• Build automated comparables engines
• Connect planning documents to structured outputs
• Assist with financial modelling scripts

What We Offer

• Work directly with an NVIDIA DGX system
• Build AI systems from the ground up
• Very high autonomy
• Exposure to private equity, high-end real estate development, planning strategy
• Freedom to design architecture as you see fit
• A fast-moving environment with no bureaucracy

Why This Is a Unique Role

This is not a typical graduate software job.

• Build AI systems with real impact
• Architect the compute backbone of a growing multi-family office
• Influence investment analysis, real estate strategy, and automation
• Touch every part of the tech stack
• Grow into a CTO-level position

You won’t be maintaining someone else’s stack — you will be building Steadrock’s from scratch.

Application Process

• Short Python task (we will send a practical DGX-related challenge)
• Technical interview (systems + Python)
• Final discussion with the founder
