This is an ambitious AI startup that's building software to help some of the world's most innovative organisations solve complex research and intellectual property challenges.

They’ve already raised significant funding, signed major customers, and built a strong team, and are now looking for another exceptional engineer to help shape what comes next.

This isn't the kind of role where you'll spend months discussing requirements before writing code.

You'll be talking to customers, working closely with founders, shipping regularly, and helping decide what gets built in the first place.

The team is still small enough that every engineer has a genuine influence on the product. If you enjoy ownership, autonomy and solving difficult problems, you'll have plenty of room to make your mark.

What you'll be doing:
 

• Building product features that customers use every day.
• Working across the stack to solve problems wherever they appear.
• Turning customer feedback into product improvements.
• Taking ideas from concept through to production.
• Helping shape engineering standards, product direction and ways of working.
• Working closely with people who care deeply about building great software.

They’re probably a good match if you:
 

• Have experience building and shipping production software.
• Enjoy figuring things out when the answer isn't obvious.
• Care about the product as much as the code.
• Like taking ownership rather than waiting for instructions.
• Want to work in an environment where decisions happen quickly and good ideas are heard.
• Have experience in a startup, scale-up or other high-accountability environment.

This role won't suit everyone.

You'll probably find it frustrating if you prefer highly structured environments, narrowly defined responsibilities, or spending weeks refining plans before taking action.

The people who do well here tend to be curious, pragmatic and comfortable with a bit of ambiguity. They like moving quickly, learning from customers and seeing the impact of their work.

Why it's worth a conversation

Opportunities to join a company at this stage don't come around very often.

The foundations are already in place. Customers are using the product. The business is growing. But there's still a huge amount left to build.

For the right engineer, it's a chance to have a meaningful impact on both the product and the company itself.
