Change Software Forever


QA slows the world down. Flaky tests kill trust, stall releases, and bleed engineering velocity.


Duku AI is ending that era.


We’re building autonomous agents that think like engineers: they run every critical user journey, catch failures before users do, and self-heal as the codebase evolves. Real AI teammates, not test scripts that break on impact.


We’re venture-backed and led by operators who’ve scaled Meta’s testing infrastructure, launched Uber’s global playbooks, and grew Deliveroo from zero to hypergrowth. We know what elite execution looks like and we’re hunting for one more builder to help us rewrite the rules of software quality.




What You’ll Do

  • Ship fast, learn faster : We deploy daily, not monthly
  • Talk to users, shape the roadmap : Sit in the trenches with founders on calls that define what we build
  • Train AI agents: Design LLM-powered testers that explore, learn, and adapt in real time
  • Own the stack :Python, TypeScript, cloud infra, from commit to production
  • Turn prototypes into production : Run real experiments on models, embeddings, and retrieval pipelines


What We’re Looking For

  • Relentless drive: You execute fast, adapt faster
  • Startup scar tissue : You’ve shipped product with no safety net
  • Fluency with AI/LLMs : LangChain, vector stores, prompt engineering
  • Full-stack firepower : Frontend, backend, infra, no silos
  • Product obsession : You care more about outcomes than outputs
  • Experimental instinct: You build → test → learn → repeat


Ideal Background

There’s no perfect pedigree. We hire for mindset, not credentials. That said, you might have:


  • Shipped AI features in prod
  • Built something from 0 to 1
  • Thrived in chaos with high ownership


Why This Matters

Software is accelerating. QA hasn’t kept up. Autonomous testing is inevitable, and we’re building it.

Five years from now, every high-velocity team will rely on AI agents like ours to ship faster, safer, and smarter.


Join now, and help make that future real, before someone else does.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
