£180,000 + Substantial Equity


An early-stage, stealth-mode startup is looking for a Founding Engineer to join the team in central London. This is a unique opportunity to help build a transformative new platform at the intersection of software systems, automation, and intelligent infrastructure.

Ideal Background

  • Experience building complex systems in a startup or high-growth tech environment
  • Strong computer science fundamentals;
    comfortable working across multiple layers of the stack
  • Demonstrated ability to operate in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
  • Bonus: familiarity with compilers, distributed systems, systems design, or programming languages theory


Offer

  • Significant equity in a high-potential startup
  • London-based, full-time — onsite collaboration with a world-class founding team
