AI Delivery Lead

At Gradient Labs, we’re on a mission to make exceptional customer service the norm. Founded in 2023, we’ve quickly gone from an idea to a growing team with customers you know (and probably love). Our AI agent helps businesses handle even the trickiest, high‑stakes customer support queries safely and effectively, all while giving them the visibility and control they need to trust the outcomes. We’re a small but mighty team of builders from leading companies like Monzo, Pleo, and Google. We work in a hybrid model from our London office, a short walk from Liverpool Street Station, where we collaborate and connect 2‑3 days a week. If you’re excited to tackle some of the hardest problems in AI and help shape the future of customer operations, we’d love to hear from you.
