Overview
We’re an early-stage, well-funded team building technology that breaks down language barriers in real-time conversation. The AI at the core of our product is the hardest problem we’re solving – and the most important. We’re taking our time on this hire because trust matters more than speed.
Role
You’ll be part of our senior leadership committee – sitting alongside the CEO, Head of Engineering, Head of Product, Head of GTM and Chief of Staff. You own the AI direction, the model architecture, and the long-term technical bets we make on how this product thinks, learns and scales.
This is a founding-level role in everything but title.
Responsibilities
You have deep hands-on experience building and shipping AI models – not just fine-tuning, but understanding what’s under the hood
You’ve worked on problems that are genuinely hard – real-time processing, speech, translation, or low-latency inference would be a strong signal
You’re the kind of engineer who came up through places like DeepMind, top research labs, or early-stage AI teams where the bar was exceptionally high
You’re curious, sharp and energised by unsolved problems rather than comfortable ones
You’re someone people trust with decisions that are hard to reverse – you think carefully, communicate clearly, and don’t cut corners on what matters
You can work independently at a senior level while staying closely aligned with a small, fast-moving team
The role this is
A seat at the table from day one – you’ll help decide what we build and how we build it
The chance to own the AI layer of a product that could change how hundreds of millions of people communicate
A long-term commitment – we’re not hiring someone to hand off to; we’re hiring someone to grow with us through every stage
What you’ll get
Pension, equity, competitive salary, and offices in the heart of London that you’ll actually want to come into
We believe good work should be recognised and rewarded fairly
A team that takes the work seriously but not itself – we have socials, we have passion, and we’re building something we genuinely believe in
Sharp minds, low egos, and a genuine obsession with building things that matter
If you’ve read this and thought “that’s exactly what I want to work on” – we’d love to hear from you.
