Company Description
$6.5M Seed‑stage Agentic AI platform led by Salesforce Ventures
Job Description
As the most senior AI hire, you will architect a sophisticated multi‑agent orchestration layer for regulated financial institutions. Moving beyond simple wrappers, you’ll solve high‑stakes technical challenges in document intelligence, automated underwriting, and hallucination detection. This is a hands‑on leadership role shaping the future of a platform already trusted by marquee enterprise banks.
Location
London, UK
Why this role is remarkable
* Lead AI strategy at a startup that scaled from MVP to paying enterprise customers like Metro Bank in under a year, targeting a $36 trillion industry.
* Work directly with a founding team of former Mambu, McKinsey, and Accenture leaders who have previously scaled fintech valuations from €1.9bn to €4.7bn.
* Tackle genuinely hard engineering problems in a high‑stakes regulated environment where accuracy, explainability, and multi‑step reasoning are mission‑critical requirements.
What You Will Do
* Design and own the core agentic orchestration engine that coordinates dozens of specialized agents across complex financial lifecycles and human‑in‑the‑loop workflows.
* Build advanced NLP and OCR pipelines to extract structured reasoning and data from messy financial paperwork, bank statements, and 200‑page credit memos.
* Establish rigorous evaluation and alignment frameworks to ensure auditable AI decision trails, meeting the strict trust thresholds required by global financial institutions.
The ideal candidate
* Deep hands‑on expertise shipping production‑grade AI systems, specifically focusing on NLP, agentic architectures, or information extraction rather than just basic API integration.
* Strong research instinct and architectural judgment, capable of translating emerging techniques in hallucination detection and structured reasoning into reliable, scalable production code.
* Proven ability to operate with high ownership in a fast‑paced environment, making consequential technical decisions while contributing as a high‑impact individual programmer every day.
