Founding Engineering Manager | London (on-site) | Up to £145,000 + equity + benefits
I’m working with a New York-based AI start-up that’s looking to hire a Founding Engineering Manager for its brand new London office.
They’ve recently secured $25 million in Series A funding and have been publicly recognised by Google, NVIDIA and Microsoft separately as one of the most exciting AI start-ups in the space.
This is a player‑coach role. You’ll lead, grow and hire a team of around 8-10 engineers, help shape technical direction, and work closely with senior leadership in both London and New York.
The company is building AI teammates and agent‑based systems for enterprise customers, automating sales, service and operational workflows using proprietary language models and AI agents. They already have the technology deployed at household-name companies.
You’ll have significant influence over hiring, engineering standards, team culture and technical direction as the London office scales.
They’re looking for someone with previous engineering management experience, a strong software engineering background, and experience shipping AI-powered products into production. TypeScript experience is important, while exposure to LLMs, AI agents or machine learning products would be highly beneficial.
The business moves quickly, gives engineers real ownership, and avoids unnecessary process. If you enjoy building high-performing teams while staying close to technical decision‑making, this could be a great fit.
