Up to £130k + equity
London (5 days on-site)

Be part of the founding team at an early stage Fintech.
Best suited to someone who enjoys building and shipping.
Opportunity to build an AI native toolkit from scratch. 
I’m looking for a Founding AI Engineer to join a very early stage (Pre Seed) startup in London. This role is best suited to people who thrive working in highly ambiguous environments and are happy to pivot at the drop of a hat.
 
Startup life isn’t for everyone, so you do really need to be someone that gets excited by the idea of wearing many hats and getting stuck in.
 
The good news is that the business has two years of runway based on funding alone, the even better news is they’re already revenue generating!
 
Being part of the founding team means you’ll have the opportunity to build an AI native toolkit from the ground up. If having a tangible impact on the core product and overall success of the business is something excites you, then this role is for you.
 
The preferred option is to find people who have come through the software engineering route into AI, as opposed to the more traditional route of Data Scientist/ML Engineer. By this I mean you’ll need to be comfortable writing and shipping code and working on AI APIs, less so model building, fine tuning LLMs etc.
 
Essential requirements:

Founder type mindset with a strong product lens.
You value speed and scale over perfection.
Highly autonomous.
Experience building AI agents/agentic systems/architecture/RAG pipelines.
Software engineering background.
Experience developing and deploying production application layer products.
Enjoy the buzz of startup life and want to work with high energy people. 
Just to highlight, this role is 100% on-site. You will need to be happy being in the office more often than not.
 
Unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this role.

Rural-Remote AI Jobs: A Breath of Fresh Air in the UK Tech Scene

A New Horizon for AI Professionals For years, conversations around tech careers in the UK have hinged on a central theme: to succeed in artificial intelligence (AI), you must be in or around London (or other big metropolitan areas like Manchester, Bristol, or Edinburgh). But times are changing. Technological leaps and the rise of flexible working are paving the way for AI professionals to live and work well beyond the capital. From the rugged coastlines of Cornwall and Pembrokeshire to the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales, we’re witnessing an exciting trend of AI remote countryside roles that allow you to work at the forefront of tech innovation—all while enjoying the tranquillity of rural or seaside living. At ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing a marked increase in job postings and applications for these sorts of positions. A growing segment of job seekers is actively searching for “tech jobs by the sea” or “AI remote countryside,” driven by a desire for better work-life balance, lower living costs, and a healthier lifestyle. And it’s not just employees who stand to benefit; employers eager to attract top-tier AI talent are discovering that offering remote or flexible roles widens their candidate pool and enhances diversity. If you’re enticed by the idea of logging off from a day of coding neural networks and taking a stroll along a coastal path—or stepping outside your converted barn in Northumberland to soak in some fresh country air—this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore the benefits and challenges of rural-remote AI jobs, the specific roles best suited for remote work, and how to position yourself for success in this rapidly evolving sector.
