This is a rare opportunity to join early, shape everything, and grow into Head of Engineering as the team scales.

Why this role? • Work on technology with real‑world impact, used by decision‑makers across regulated markets. • Join a highly analytical, mission‑driven team with deep academic and industry pedigree. • Step into a foundational role with genuine ownership and meaningful equity—not a token allocation. • Shape the engineering culture from day one. • Lots of autonomy and a chance to build something from the ground up They are looking for • An energetic & passionate Engineer • Start-up mindset • Someone who wants to create something special and help a product/ company grow • Someone who takes risks/ innovates • An Engineer with a deep interest in AI They are open to days in the office but ideally looking for 2 days in either London or Oxford Paying up to £120k + Equity (with flex)
