We’re partnering with an early-stage technology company building a highly ambitious platform at the intersection of AI, data and healthcare.
They’re looking for a Founding Engineer to join a small, highly technical team and play a major role in shaping the product, architecture and engineering culture from an early stage.

- Designing and scaling APIs and MCP-based infrastructure for high-volume workloads
- Turning complex, unstructured information into structured, computable data
- Building reliable backend systems designed for low-latency, large-scale usage
- Owning projects end-to-end, from identifying problems through to production
- Experimenting with AI agents, coding tools and emerging AI engineering workflows
- Helping shape technical decisions and engineering practices as an early team member
What we’re looking for:
- 2–6 years’ commercial experience in Backend Engineering, Software Engineering or Data Engineering
- Experience building and shipping production systems
- Strong computer science and engineering fundamentals
- Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics or a closely related technical discipline
- Experience with Rust, C or C++ would be a strong plus
- Comfortable working in a fast-moving, high-ownership startup environment
