Founding AI Software Engineer
Founding AI Software Engineer
Remote (UK) | c. £80,000 + EMI Equity
Build AI-native products. Don’t just add AI to existing ones.
About the Role
Elevation Tech & Transformation is partnering with a fast-growing technology business building an AI-native platform for a highly regulated global industry.
Already working with enterprise customers and backed by experienced founders, the business is entering its next phase of growth and is seeking engineers eager to shape both the product and the future of the company.
This is a rare early-stage opportunity where your ideas can directly influence technical direction, and you’ll collaborate closely with founders in a small, high-performing engineering team.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
