Software Engineer (Applied AI)
TalentCo are thrilled to be working with a seed stage AI-native startup looking to hire 2 exceptional Software Engineers into their London HQ, to play pivotal roles in building their next generation AI platform.
They are a team of highly driven individuals, looking to add more hyper-ambitious engineers to their world class engineering team.

We want to hear from you if:
- Proven industry impact: 2+ years building products in fast-paced or startup environments, with an eye for quality and scale.
- Full-stack fluency: Skilled in React/TypeScript and/or Python, with experience deploying on GCP, AWS, or Azure.
