Product AI Engineer
London (Hybrid)
Up to £110,000
We're working with a fast-growing, venture-backed AI startup that's transforming how financial institutions automate complex operational and compliance workflows.
They're looking for a Founding Product AI Engineer to join a small, ambitious team and help build AI-powered products used by enterprise customers every day.
This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product and AI. You'll work closely with founders, customers and engineers to identify problems, design solutions and ship production-ready products quickly.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional software engineering role. This is not an AI research role.
You'll be responsible for turning customer problems into working products, owning the process from discovery and design through to deployment and iteration.
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.
You'll be trusted to make decisions, move quickly and have a genuine impact on the direction of both the product and the company.
What You'll Do
- Work directly with customers to understand challenges and identify opportunities
- Design and build AI-powered products and workflows
- Develop and deploy production software across backend and frontend systems
- Build reliable AI experiences using modern LLM technologies
- Continuously iterate based on customer feedback and usage patterns
- Help shape technical and product decisions alongside the founding team
- Improve product quality through evaluation frameworks, observability and testing
Tech Stack
- TypeScript / Node.js
- Python
- React
- AWS
- Serverless Architecture
Must-Haves
- Experience building and shipping products end-to-end
- Strong ownership mentality
- Startup, founding engineer or early-stage company experience
- Able to work independently with minimal hand-holding
- Comfortable speaking with customers and stakeholders
- Strong software engineering skills
- Genuine interest in AI and emerging technologies
- Builder mindset with a bias towards action
