A hands-on software engineer joining an early-stage AI product startup at its founding stage, working directly with the founder to build core systems — tracking infrastructure, attribution models, automation frameworks, and UIs — while owning the product lifecycle in an Agile framework. Requires 8+ years of software product/engineering experience; pays £55,000 per year.
We’re building a next-generation AI product that combines real technical depth with strong user experience, and we’re looking for a Software Developer to help shape it from the ground up. You’ll join at the earliest stage, working directly with the founder to define the product vision, roadmap, and go-to-market strategy. This is a hands-on role for someone who has lived at the intersection of software development, product, engineering, and operations. You’ll be instrumental in setting up our product development processes, establishing our offshore engineering capability, and ensuring we build something users genuinely love.
