Founding AI Engineer – £80,000–£120,000 base (£142,000–£220,000 including equity) (On-site - Old Street)
Not everything you read on the internet is true. Especially job adverts.
Here are some things about this role that sound too good to be true, but are verified facts:
* Founding Engineer role with YC-backed startup.
* Magically joining just before Series A.
* An AI company with paying customers - 30% month-over-month growth and $1M in revenue.
* Working on AI to empower people, not replace them.
* Savvy founders and sublime engineering culture.
Sounds like they have it under control. Why do they need you?
They are currently onboarding four to five new large/enterprise customers monthly. That comes with many challenges - making sure the product is robust, speeding up onboarding and integrating. Specifically, this means:
* Work with Voice AI. Think experimentation with new AI models to keep latency low and maintain high service levels
* Create scaling integrations to handle high volume and varied data structures without sacrificing reliability or customizability.
* Speed up client onboarding and knowledge by building frameworks that automate agent training and incorporate conversational elements using reinforcement learning to continually refine performance.
Does this sound like you?
* Love tackling tough systems problems with deep comp sci fundamentals (distributed systems, data flows, event-driven architectures)
* Have hacked, iterated, shipped and scaled production backends (Python/TypeScript preferred; AWS/GCP; serious ownership)
* Generative AI - MCP, LangChain/LangGraph make you giddy
* Solving problems doesn't feel like work; getting to solve this with other smart people makes you lose track of time.
* Happy working with the right people, 5 days a week in the office.
* Understand the power and potential of Voice AI
