Engineering Lead

Founding Engineering Lead | Stealth ERP Startup

Hybrid - London

Salary, plus bonus, plus extensive benefits AND equity on offer

Backed and incubated by a 150-person international consulting firm with deep finance and ERP implementation experience

I’m partnering with a stealth-stage startup tackling one of the hardest problems in enterprise software: rebuilding ERP from first principles.

The mission: build an AI-native, extensible ERP platform for the mid-market, where workflows are explicit, data models evolve, and logic is transparent rather than hidden in black boxes.

The role

This is a founding engineering role, not a “join later and optimise” hire.

You’ll:

• Own the core platform architecture from day one

• Design flexible, auditable data models and workflow-first systems • Define how AI is embedded in a structured, governed way

• Turn a clear product vision into a real, scalable system

• Lead the build from the first line of code through MVP and beyond

• You’ll work directly with the founder and shape the technical foundations on which everything else depends.

Who this suits

You’re likely someone who:

• Has built complex, data-heavy platforms or systems of record

• Thinks in architecture, not just features

• Enjoys working from first principles

• Is comfortable with ambiguity and early-stage ownership

• Cares deeply about clarity, transparency, and explainability

Experience in ERP, finance, payments, or regulated domains is a plus, not a requirement.

Why is this interesting?

• This is not a CRUD app or thin SaaS wrapper

• The product vision is unusually well-defined for this stage

• You’re building something foundational, not incremental

• Backed by an established consulting organisation with a strong network, deep domain knowledge, and immediate access to early customers

If you’ve ever wanted to build the ERP you wish existed, this is that opportunity.
