Founding AI Engineer

Venture-Backed Fin Tech Start up | Equity Opportunity | Manchester

We're partnering with an ambitious, early-stage fintech business on a mission to transform how consumers engage with and improve their financial wellbeing.

Having achieved strong early validation and entered its next phase of growth, the company is seeking a highly capable AI Engineer to become the first dedicated AI hire and ultimately build and lead the AI function.

This is a rare opportunity to join at a formative stage, influence product direction, and create AI capabilities that sit at the heart of the customer experience.

For the right individual, there is a clear pathway into a future Head of AI position, alongside meaningful equity participation.

This is not a traditional engineering role.

You'll operate as a builder, architect, and strategic partner to the founders, helping shape both the AI roadmap and the wider product vision.

The business sees AI as a core differentiator, not an add-on feature.

You will be responsible for designing, building, and scaling intelligent systems that enhance customer engagement, personalisation, automation, and decision-making.
