Job Specifications

Senior Software Engineer | AI, Artificial Intelligence

Hybrid role in Soho
£80-120k depending on experience

We’re on a mission to reinvent how AI understands people — not through CVs or data points, but through story, reasoning, and curiosity. We’re building systems that listen, interpret, and understand why people say what they say. The goal? Create AI that perceives human potential, not just human input.

If you love working on ideas that feel impossible — keep reading.

The Role

We’re looking for an engineer who blends technical depth with creative instinct.

You’ll work directly with founders to shape the intelligence layer behind a new generation of human-aware AI — from LLM reasoning and semantic understanding to full-stack experiences that feel emotionally intelligent.

If you’ve worked in a disruptive industry and built something brand new — not just improved what already existed — this will feel familiar.

What You’ll Be Building

Core intelligence systems: LLM orchestration, semantic reasoning, and voice understanding
Fast, intuitive interfaces that make human-AI interaction feel alive
Rapid prototypes that turn bold ideas into working products
Scalable infrastructure for experimentation and learning

You’ll Thrive Here If You

Come from a disruptive, fast-moving environment
Have helped launch or shape new ideas, products, or technologies
Think in systems and build with elegance
Believe speed drives creativity
Are curious about human cognition and behaviour
Value truth, craft, and collaboration over hierarchy

What You Bring

Deep fluency in TypeScript and modern frameworks
Experience with vector databases and embeddings
Strength in LLM fine-tuning or multimodal reasoning
Proven ability to ship full-stack products fast
Strong Python skills
Experience using Gemini would be preferred

The Culture

Just a small, ambitious team that debates hard, builds fast, and chases ideas that matter.
