Lead Software Engineer

Lead Python/AI Engineer // London // £110,000 plus benefits

Most AI companies are building chatbots.

This startup is building autonomous AI systems that actually run real-world operations.

They’re looking for a strong Python engineer to lead a small team while working directly with the founders to architect and scale the core platform from the ground up.

You’ll be building AI-driven backend systems , orchestration layers and scalable infrastructure powering intelligent agents capable of executing complex workflows autonomously.

The ideal profile is someone with strong Python experience , a background in scalable backend systems or distributed architecture, and genuine excitement around AI -native products and automation.

Experience with FastAPI, cloud infrastructure, microservices or modern AI tooling is highly valuable.

This is a true startup environment : high ownership, fast execution, major technical influence and the chance to shape both the product and engineering culture at an early stage.

You’ll be solving the kind of engineering problems most developers only read about: building production AI systems that could fundamentally change how software operates over the next decade.

This is the kind of company where the best time to join is NOW - before everyone else realises how big it’s going to become!
