The Role
I'm working with a well-funded, stealth AI company building a next-generation AI assistant designed to help people manage everyday tasks, conversations and workflows.

The product is still pre-launch, making this a genuine 0?1 opportunity to join a small, high-calibre engineering team and help shape both the product and technical direction from an early stage.

They're hiring across multiple levels, from experienced AI Engineers through to Principal Engineers.

  • Design and improve agent workflows, prompts, memory and tool use
  • Build reliable AI systems that solve real user problems
  • Improve latency, reliability and overall production performance
  • Develop evaluation frameworks to measure real-world model quality
  • Work closely with Product and Engineering to turn ambiguous problems into working software
  • Help shape technical direction as the product evolves


Key Requirements

  • Commercial experience building production AI/ML applications
  • Strong Python engineering skills
  • Experience with modern LLMs and agentic AI systems
  • Hands-on experience with RAG, vector databases and LLM orchestration
  • Experience deploying and operating production ML systems
  • Comfortable working across models, infrastructure and product
  • Enjoy working in fast-moving, early-stage environments


Tech Stack
Python * PyTorch * JAX * LLMs * vLLM * Vector Databases * Modern Agent Frameworks
