The Company

Luffy AI is an exciting high-tech startup developing adaptive neural networks for industrial control & robotics. Luffy specialises in “Micro AI” controllers that can be trained in simulation on digital twins and successfully transferred into real world systems. The Micro AI controllers can be deployed on existing controller hardware with a small footprint and no internet connection.


Our networks use neural plasticity to learn the dynamics of the equipment they are placed in and continue to adapt long after training. These innovations allow us to overcome the difficulty of applying AI in control system applications.


Our transformational AI technology allows process industries and manufacturers to improve productivity and save energy, and allows industrial automation vendors to simplify and extend the operating envelope of their machines. This revolutionary control technology is a key enabler of Industry 4.0, with huge potential in foundation industries such as metals, glass and cement manufacturing, as well as in automation sectors such as electric motors and robotic systems.


The Role

We are looking for a skilled and experienced Software Engineer to join our multidisciplinary delivery team. The team is responsible for building simulation models, (digital twin simulations), training AI controllers and deploying the developed AI controllers into industrial customer hardware.


As a Software Engineer, your main responsibility is writing clean and efficient code. The ideal candidate has strong tenure building software solutions in Python and at least one compiled language, such as C++, C, C# or Rust. To be successful in this role, having experience in developing and deploying applications in Windows environments is essential.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Contribute to the design, development and ongoing support of our Simulation Modelling and AI Control software products.
  • Participate in code reviews to ensure adherence to best practices and high-quality code.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, product managers and other stakeholders to meet customers’ needs.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues.
  • Participate in daily stand-up and regular refinement and planning meetings as part of a team-based, Scrum environment.
  • Work autonomously and pair up with team members when appropriate.


Required Qualifications and Experience:

  • BSc in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in a commercial setting as a software engineer.
  • Proven experience in developing and maintaining complex code bases in collaboration with other developers.
  • Experience with Windows development toolchains (Visual Studio, MSBuild, etc.)
  • Experience of Windows GUI development (WinForms, WPF, or similar frameworks)
  • Experience of creating Windows installers for applications developed in different languages would be valuable
  • Strong proficiency in Python and at least one compiled language
  • Excellent understanding of software development principles, OOP, API design, algorithms, design patterns, and best practices.
  • Commercial experience with Git, continuous integration, and automated testing.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to think critically and creatively.
  • Good communication and teamwork skills.
  • Proven track record of building and shipping high performing, reliable software products.
  • You have worked as a member of an Agile team (preferably Scrum).
  • Fluent in English with excellent written and verbal communication skills.


Behaviours and personal characteristics:

  • Passionate about writing robust, efficient code that is well thought out and tested.
  • Fast learner, comfortable picking up new technologies and techniques.
  • Product focused, good prioritisation skills.
  • T-shaped person, deep expertise in a few areas but able to be a generalist when needed.
  • Team player.
  • Enjoys teaching junior programmers how to improve their code.
  • Strong organisational skills.
