Founding Engineer

This is a hands-on senior engineering role for someone who wants to work on real-world AI systems, not proofs of concept or hype projects.

You'll be joining a small, founder-led team building an AI-driven platform that automates complex, document-heavy workflows. The focus is on applying modern AI tooling in production environments where reliability, accuracy, and clarity really matter.

This is a genuine build-phase role with meaningful ownership and influence over how the product evolves.

What you'll be doing

• Building and maintaining backend services and APIs in Python

• Working with AI / LLM-driven workflows in production systems

• Designing robust, scalable backend architecture

• Collaborating closely with founders and senior stakeholders

• Taking features from concept through to live deployment

What they're looking for

• Strong commercial experience as a Python engineer

• Solid backend engineering fundamentals

• Interest or exposure to AI / LLM integration (production use, not research)

• Comfortable working autonomously in a small team

• Pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset

Context

• Early-stage, product-led environment

• Small, senior engineering team

• High trust and autonomy

• Remote-first UK setup

• Monthly MCR meet ups
• Up to 90k
