Founding AI Engineer

Founding AI Engineer

AI models are improving quickly. Making them reliable enough to trust in production is a much harder problem. This is a chance to tackle that problem from the ground up as one of the first engineers at a well-funded AI startup.

What’s in it for you?

• Meaningful equity alongside a competitive salary and bonus
• Join early enough to have real influence over the product and architecture
• Work directly with experienced founders on difficult, unsolved AI problems
• Build technology that will be used by enterprise customers
• Own projects from initial idea through to production
• Help establish the engineering culture and technical standards
• Opportunity to grow into a senior technical leadership position as the team expands

What you’ll be building

The focus is on making AI applications measurable, testable and dependable enough for real-world use.

Your work will include:

• Building production applications and systems powered by LLMs
• Developing evaluation frameworks to measure model quality and behaviour
• Creating automated testing and validation tooling for AI systems
• Building scalable ML infrastructure, services and APIs
• Running experiments to understand and improve model performance
• Fine-tuning and evaluating modern language models
• Developing tools that identify weaknesses and failure modes in AI applications
• Shipping reliable software across the full ML lifecycle

You’ll likely have:

• Experience building and shipping production software systems
• Hands-on experience working with machine learning and LLMs
• Experience evaluating, training or fine-tuning modern language models
• Strong Python engineering skills
• Experience deploying ML systems into production
• The ability to take an ambiguous problem and turn it into something that works
• Strong technical judgement and a willingness to make decisions without perfect information
