Founding AI Engineer
I’m working with a well-funded, VC-backed AI start-up that is building production-grade AI agents to automate complex, real-world customer interactions.
They already have a growing customer base and strong commercial traction and are now investing heavily in the engineering team as they enter their next stage of growth.
What set's this opportunity apart is the founder is coming from a career in asset management in the exact domain the product is built for so they have a huge head start getting in front of key decision makers and deploying pilots.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
They’re looking for a Founding AI Engineer to join the core team in London.
You’ll be working across:
- Production AI agents and agentic workflows
- Python backend engineering
- LLM orchestration, tool calling and integrations
- Real-time and event-driven systems
- Reliability, observability and scalability
- Customer problems from initial idea through to production
You’ll have significant influence over the product, architecture and technical direction as the engineering organisation grows.
We’re particularly interested in engineers coming from high-growth start-ups or AI-native environments who are comfortable with ownership, ambiguity and moving quickly.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The expectation here is for someone with a thread of high performance throughout their academic studies (quantitative subjects, Maths, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, or Machine Learning from a top university ideally.) As well a real world experience deploying agentic solutions at scale.
£150k–£200k base + equity
London – predominantly office-based
