AI Engineer for London's Most Ambitious Startups | Join OPUS x Foundermatcha Speed-Dating Event

About This Opportunity

This isn't a traditional job posting. It's your invitation to meet 15+ vetted founders in one evening—founders who are building AI-first products and need technical partners to make it happen.

On February 4th in London, we're hosting a curated speed-dating event where AI engineers meet founders who have real traction, real ambition, and a clear need for technical leadership. Could that be you?

What Makes This Different

Most networking events are a gamble. You show up, hope to meet someone interesting, and leave with LinkedIn connections that go nowhere.

We've removed the guesswork.

Every founder attending has been vetted by OPUS, London's exclusive community for high-performing startup founders, and matched to you using Foundermatcha's AI-powered compatibility system. 

The result? Conversations that can actually turn into co-founder relationships or early engineering roles.

Who You'll Meet

To give you a sense of the Founders attending:

→ A serial entrepreneur building an inheritance management app, actively looking for LLM and Rust engineers

→ A founder of an AI-powered wealth management platform searching for a senior full-stack engineer with AI experience

→ Founders working on AI infrastructure, computer vision, recommendation systems, and ML-powered products across fintech, healthtech, climate, and consumer tech

These aren't idea-stage projects. They're startups with early traction, funding conversations underway, or product-market fit in sight—backed by OPUS's elite founder network.

What You'll Experience

→ Curated 1:1 conversations with founders

→ Vetted, high-caliber founders from OPUS's selective community

→ Extended time with your members to go beyond surface-level chat

→ Engineer-friendly atmosphere with food, drinks, and zero job-interview pressure

→ Personal follow-up from the Foundermatcha team to refine your top matches

Who This Is For

AI/ML engineers ready to join ambitious UK startups as founding or early team members. Roles may include equity, cash, or hybrid compensation depending on stage.

You might be:

• A senior AI engineer tired of big-tech bureaucracy
• An ML specialist ready to own a product roadmap
• A research engineer looking to see your work in production
• Someone who's been building side projects and wants to go full-time

If you're serious about building something that matters, this is your shortcut.
