Job description

Lead Software Engineer

Are you an aspiring, ambitious engineer with skills across the stack who wants to drive AI focused innovation using the latest technology solutions?

This is the role for you!

I am privileged to be partnering with a SaaS Startup that combines the best in traditional automation technology with the latest innovations in Generative AI to solve real problems facing young people across the world.

They have established product market fit with early pilot customers and built an MVP that has already secured high profile customers leading to a hugely successful pre‑seed round.

With this investment they are looking to establish the team that is going to expand the product from early production to a scaled solution serving customers' needs as they expand and scale the business.

The Team

They are a dynamic, fast paced, outcome‑led, multi‑disciplinary team who lean heavily on product discovery and agile to innovate. Expect short sprints and daily releases.

The Person

Years of experience or tech stack simply doesn't matter to this organisation. What does is a burning passion for innovation and proven experience converting tech innovation or academic excellence into product success.

You could be an academic highflyer with a couple of years commercial experience working in 'big tech' and want more autonomy to innovate or a failed technical founder who wants to put what you have learnt into a new venture. They are a very open‑minded bunch!

Being a Lead Software Engineer isn't always an easy job but if you have the willingness to truly innovate as the business scales with the commitment and drive to succeed you will be rewarded…

What's on offer

This organisation will offer a base salary of up to £90,000 but most importantly a generous equity stake and a clear exit plan rewarding you for your commitment.

The role is Bristol based and will need weekly in office time.

So if you want to play an integral part in shaping the success of one of the most exciting start up's in the Midlands please apply now to find out more.
