VP of Engineering — AI

A high-growth technology company is searching for an exceptional hands‑on VP of Engineering (AI) to lead and build next‑generation AI products. This is not a people‑manager or advisory role — it’s a deep technical, founder‑style position for someone who wants to build, ship, and own AI systems end‑to‑end.

This opportunity is ideal for a high‑calibre engineer who thrives in fast‑paced startup environments, enjoys taking full ownership, and wants to shape the next wave of applied AI.

What You’ll Be Building

You’ll architect, build, and ship real AI products including:

  • LLM‑driven applications (generation, reasoning, orchestration)
  • RAG pipelines, vector search, knowledge systems
  • Multi‑agent / agentic AI workflows
  • High‑performance backend systems in Python & Node.js

You’ll be expected to write code daily (~80 %), make technical decisions with autonomy, and operate like a founder rather than a traditional VP.

What We’re Looking For

  • Recent startup or scale‑up experience — ideally 0→1 or 1→10 environments.
  • Top academic background:
  • UK: Russell Group / Top 20 with strong academics (First or similar).
  • Overseas: Top 100 global university.
  • Exceptional Python engineering — deep‑level experience required.
  • Strong background in Node.js and modern backend architecture.
  • Clear, demonstrable AI build examples: what you shipped, how you built it, the stack, the architecture, the outcomes.
  • Founder, co‑founder, or product‑ownership mindset — full accountability, small‑team execution.
  • Happy working 5 days per week on‑site for the immediate future.

Strong Pluses

  • Ex‑founder or early founding team member.
  • Experience working in lean teams, not large enterprise engineering groups.
  • Track record of building products quickly and iterating fast.

Seniority level: Director

Employment type: Full‑time

Job function: Information Technology
