I am recruiting a Senior Engineer for a well invested, ambitious and already profitable Start-up who are building an AI driven Risk Intelligence Engine for critical infrastructure.
This is a chance to work closely with their CPTO and take full ownership of a platform that’s already live, already trusted, and about to scale globally
They are fast‑growing, research‑driven and heavily invested in AI innovation to solve a worldwide need.
In this role you will help to define and build the engineering foundations of a multi‑product analytics platform used by major institutions. This is a rare opportunity to join early, shape everything, and grow into Head of Engineering as the team scales.
This role will be HEAVILY HANDS ON for the next 6-12 months but will play a key role in growing the team as the company grows.
They are well invested and already profitable
What you’ll do
* Own the architecture, standards, and technical direction across a complex, data‑heavy platform.
* Turn quantitative models, simulations, and AI workflows into production‑ready systems.
* Lead the engineering approach across Python services, data pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and modern React front‑ends.
* Productise bespoke deployments into reusable, configurable platform capabilities.
* Be a hands-on contributor while setting the template for future hires.
What you bring
* 5+ years of engineering with particularly strong Python backend & API skills.
* Experience shipping production systems in fast-moving or early-stage environments.
* Strong grounding in cloud (AWS/Azure), PostgreSQL, CI/CD, and modern web architecture.
* Bonus: experience in working with AI, data‑intensive platforms, ML/LLM integration, or quant/financial modelling.
Why this role?
* Work on technology with real‑world impact, used by decision‑makers across regulated markets.
* Join a highly analytical, mission‑driven team with deep academic and industry pedigree.
* Step into a foundational role with genuine ownership and meaningful equity—not a token allocation.
* Shape the engineering culture from day one.
* Lots of autonomy and a chance to build something from the ground up
They are looking for
* An energetic & passionate Engineer
* Start-up mindset
* Someone who wants to create something special and help a product/ company grow
* Someone who takes risks/ innovates
* An Engineer with a deep interest in AI
They are open to days in the office but ideally looking for 2 days in either London or Oxford
