Graduate Software Engineer

Graduate Founding Engineer – AI Platform (London, Hybrid)

We’re building an AI-native enterprise platform in the capital markets space. Our MVP is live, early customers are onboard, and we’re now looking for a Founding Engineer to help scale the product into a robust, enterprise-grade platform.

This is a high-ownership role working directly with the CTO. You’ll shape architecture, technical direction, and execution from day one.

We’re looking for someone with a strong academic foundation (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or similar from a leading university) combined with serious hands-on product-building ability. Exceptional builders from any background are encouraged to apply.

What you’ll do

• Architect and scale a modern AI-first platform
• Build across the stack (TypeScript, React, Node.js, Next.js)
• Design clean data models and production-grade systems
• Integrate LLM APIs and design RAG / agentic workflows
• Ship quickly and pragmatically, using AI tools to maximise output
• Implement security, performance, and reliability best practices

We’re looking for

• Strong fundamentals in software engineering and systems thinking
• Proven experience building complex systems end-to-end
• Comfort operating in ambiguous, early-stage environments
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure (Azure preferred)
• Product mindset — you care about outcomes, not just code

Bonus if you’ve:

• Built AI-powered workflows in production
• Worked in regulated or enterprise contexts
• Started something yourself

What we offer

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity
• Real technical ownership
• Small, focused founding team
• Opportunity to build something ambitious from the ground up

If you enjoy hard technical problems, clean architecture, and high standards — we’d love to speak.
