The Company
We're partnering with an early-stage AI company building technology that helps organisations make better decisions from complex, fast-changing information.
At the heart of the business is a unique and growing data asset.
They're building an intelligence layer around this data — combining software engineering, data infrastructure, retrieval and AI to make it searchable, usable and trustworthy.
Data is the product. The frontend is the wrapper.
They already have customers and are now entering their next stage of growth, rebuilding the engineering team around a small number of exceptional hires.
This is a rare opportunity to join as one of the most senior technical people in the business and take significant ownership of the platform.
You'll be highly hands-on across Python, data, RAG, AI and infrastructure, while helping determine what gets built, how it's built and how the engineering function evolves.
You'll work directly with leadership, taking ambiguous problems and turning them into production software.
As the company scales,



there is potential for this person to grow into broader technology leadership and ultimately a CTO-level role.
What You'll Be Doing Own and evolve the core AI & data platform
Build backend services and APIs in Python
Build data pipelines and retrieval systems
Develop RAG and semantic search capabilities
Build production AI/LLM features
Make architecture and infrastructure decisions
Take ambiguous problems from 0→1
Help build and technically lead the engineering team
AI is deeply embedded into how the team builds. Engineers are encouraged to use AI coding tools extensively, while remaining responsible for understanding, testing and owning what they ship.
What They're Looking For Excellent SQL / relational database knowledge
Experience with RAG, retrieval or semantic search
Experience owning production software end-to-end
Comfortable working across the full stack
Strong product and technical judgement
Comfortable solving highly ambi
