Benefits

Flexible working arrangements Direct mentorship from the founder Opportunity to progress into a full-time founding engineering role

Bowleys Oversight is building a new category of residential property decision intelligence. We combine data, mathematical modelling and AI to help landlords, investors and property owners make better decisions.

This is an opportunity to work directly with the founder and help build the analytical and technical foundations of the business from the ground up.

What you'll do
  • Design and build mathematical models for real-world property decisions.
  • Develop Python-based tools and internal software.
  • Analyse large property datasets to identify patterns and opportunities.
  • Build decision models for pricing, rental performance, investment and asset management.
  • Experiment with AI and LLMs to automate research and analysis.
  • Create prototypes, dashboards and internal applications.
  • Improve and validate models using real market data.
  • Work across engineering, data science and product development.
We're looking for someone who
  • Is studying or has recently completed a degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, Statistics, Data Science or a related quantitative subject.
  • Has strong programming skills, ideally in Python.
  • Enjoys solving complex problems from first principles.
  • Can translate ideas into working software.
  • Is curious, ambitious and enjoys learning quickly.
  • Wants to build products rather than simply maintain them.

Experience with AI, machine learning, optimisation, data engineering or full-stack development is a bonus but not essential.

What you'll gain
  • Direct mentorship from the founder.
  • The opportunity to work on genuine AI and decision intelligence systems.
  • Significant ownership from day one.
  • Exposure to product development, modelling and commercial strategy.
  • Flexible working arrangements.
  • The possibility of progressing into a full-time founding engineering role as the company grows.
Our culture

We value curiosity, intellectual honesty, rapid learning and first-principles thinking. We care more about your ability to solve difficult problems than your previous job titles or industry experience.

If you're excited by building technology that solves complex real-world problems and want to help create something from the ground up, we'd love to hear from you.

What Is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer? The Fastest-Growing Job in AI for 2026

If you have been watching AI job boards over the past year, one title keeps surfacing again and again: the forward deployed engineer, or FDE. It has gone from a niche term known mainly to Palantir alumni to arguably the hottest role in the entire AI hiring market. Job postings for forward deployed engineers have exploded, salaries have climbed past levels most software engineers will ever see, and the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Salesforce, Databricks and Palantir — are all competing for the same small pool of talent. So what exactly is an AI forward deployed engineer, why has demand surged so dramatically, and how do you position yourself to land one of these roles? This guide breaks it all down for AI engineers, software engineers and data scientists looking at their next move.
