We’re working with a fast-growing AI startup building an agentic platform that automates real-world operational workflows for an established UK industry.
They’re looking for a Lead Engineer to work closely with the Head of Engineering and take serious ownership across the platform.
This is a builder-first leadership role — you’ll lead a small engineering team, but remain highly hands-on, owning some of the hardest technical problems and helping shape architecture and engineering standards.
Why it’s interesting:
- Genuinely AI-native product — LLMs and agents sit at the heart of the platform
- Agentic engineering culture using Claude Code and AI agents day-to-day
- Real architectural ownership across microservices, APIs and event-driven systems
- Lead a small team while remaining a key individual contributor
- Early enough to have significant influence over how the platform is built
You’ll suit this if you’re already a Lead Engineer — or a strong Senior ready to step up — and have experience building AI/LLM products in fast-moving startup environments.
