Develop and scale core audit product features, manage AI workflows, and help set product direction with customer feedback.
The summary above was generated by AI
What you'll do

  • Develop and scale the backbone of our core audit product. You’ll scope, build, and launch product features that will enable our customers to replace work that has traditionally been done manually with a fully agentic approach.
  • Take ownership of end-to-end workflows. Including data processing, UI, agent harness, evaluation, and deployment.
  • Help set product direction. You’ll contribute to the roadmap, balancing customer feedback with long-term product health.

You…

  • Are an Software Engineer with experience building, launching, and scaling systems
  • Have built AI-driven solutions for either internal or external use cases
  • Can balance research curiosity with engineering pragmatism
  • Want to move quickly, own problems end-to-end, and iterate with limited guidance
  • Flourish in autonomy, complexity, and ambiguity
  • Are comfortable working client-facing when needed

This is a great fit if you…

  • Deeply fascinated by artificial intelligence, and how it will shape the future
  • Constantly push the boundaries on what's possible with the latest models in your day to day work and personal life
  • Enjoy building great products and are happy to take ownership end-to-end to get there
  • Have previously or want to found something yourself in a few years time
  • Would like to move from London to SF in the fall 2026 (with visa support)
  • Have high agency and a constant drive for impact
  • Flourish in autonomy, complexity, and ambiguity
  • Want to work in-person from our office in London

This won't be the right role if you…

  • Are uncomfortable with ambiguity. We are still very early and are constantly adjusting based on what we learn.
  • Are looking to manage others. We're firmly looking for someone who, for now, wants to be an individual contributor.
  • Get satisfaction predominantly by learning new technologies. We are building something new in an old industry, we need to use boring but proven methods where possible.
  • Currently don't have the right to work in either the UK or the US. We're happy to provide visa support in either direction, but not both.

What we offer

  • Generous compensation: $160k - $210k cash, 0.8-1.5% equity
  • Full medical insurance
  • Relocation and visa support
