🚀 Founding Engineering Manager - £140,000 + Equity - London 🚀
Want to be the engineering leader who builds a UK team from scratch?
You'll be the first Engineering Manager in the UK for a fast-growing AI business that's already delivering AI products to enterprise customers.
This isn't inheriting an established team or maintaining existing processes. You'll shape how engineering is done in London, hiring and developing a team while working directly with leadership in New York.
