Software Engineer (Applied AI)

Job description

TalentCo are thrilled to be working with a seed stage AI-native startup looking to hire 2 exceptional Software Engineers into their London HQ, to play pivotal roles in building their next generation AI platform.

They are a team of highly driven individuals, looking to add more hyper-ambitious engineers to their world class engineering team.

Their HQ is in Central London, so you can choose to be based remote-first or hybrid, although proximity to London would be advantageous.

• Work across the stack: Own features end-to-end with React (TypeScript) and Python (FastAPI), blending UX and ML into production-ready code.
• Build AI-first features: Design and ship cutting-edge platform features using personalisation, LLMs, recommender systems, and reinforcement learning.
• Move fast with the latest tools: Leverage modern AI dev tools (Claude Code, Cursor) to experiment, prototype, and launch quickly.
• Be a collaborative, growth-minded engineer: Ship clean, tested code, embrace peer reviews, and contribute across design, product, and ML.

We want to hear from you if:

• Proven industry impact: 2+ years building products in fast-paced or startup environments, with an eye for quality and scale.
• Full-stack fluency: Skilled in React/TypeScript and/or Python, with experience deploying on GCP, AWS, or Azure.
• Real-world AI experience or intense interest in AI: Delivered AI-driven features to users or you're a keen user of AI-tooling desperate to move to an AI-native startup
• Entrepreneurial spirit: You have the mindset and approach of a Founding Engineer. You get sh*t done.

What do they offer?

• Salary up to £110,000 / annum
• Employee stock options
• 25 days annual leave + public holidays
• Remote-first or hybrid working model out of their London HQ - the choice is yours
