I'm partnering with a fast-growing, heavily funded startup that's redefining how care providers operate through AI. Backed by $20M in Series A funding and scaling quickly, they're building an AI-powered platform used across healthcare environments to replace fragmented systems and manual processes.

This is a unique opportunity to join early, working directly with the Head of AI to take ownership of engineering and help shape the future of the AI function.

What you'll be working on:

  • A day-to-day operating hub that helps professionals make better, faster decisions
  • A research-focused platform, leveraging labs, imaging, and structured/unstructured medical data to drive insights

Example challenges include:

  • Building AI agents to handle calls and schedule appointments
  • Creating systems to generate and structure clinical notes from free text
  • Using LLMs to reliably extract and standardise complex data
  • Contributing to AI-powered features integrated directly into core workflows

What they're looking for:

  • This is an engineering-led AI role, not ML research: ~5+ years in software engineering
  • 2+ years hands-on with LLMs / applied AI
  • Experience building 01 products in startup environments
  • Strong backend focus (Python + TypeScript)
  • Experience with frameworks like LangChain
  • Comfortable owning systems end-to-end (design build deploy)
  • Bonus if you've touched frontend or worked closely with product teams.

Package & benefits:

  • £100k + £20k equity
  • Hybrid: 4 days/week in Paddington
  • 25 days holiday + private healthcare
  • Equity for all employees + strong benefits package
  • Flexible remote working (2-3 weeks/year from anywhere)

Process (fast & focused):

  • AI knowledge discussion
  • Coding interview
  • AI design challenge (real problem)
  • Final with CTO

*Rates depend on experience and client requirements
