Founding AI Engineer
HealthTech / RegTech | AI Infrastructure
📍 London Hybrid (3+ days/week)
💰 Up to £100k + Meaningful Equity

I’m partnering with a VC-backed early-stage B2B SaaS company building AI-powered compliance infrastructure for a regulated healthcare market.

They’re solving a complex, high-value problem where clinical, operational, and compliance teams still rely heavily on manual workflows, fragmented systems, and document-heavy review processes.

The platform uses AI to enable faster, safer, and more auditable decision-making — combining workflow automation, structured data extraction, and AI-assisted compliance operations.

They’re now looking for a Founding AI Engineer to work directly with the founding team and help shape the AI architecture, product direction, and engineering foundations from day one.

What You’ll Be Working On

  • Building LLM-powered workflows, agents, and RAG pipelines

  • Structured extraction and document intelligence systems

  • AI evaluations, monitoring, reliability, and quality control

  • Full-stack product development using TypeScript, React, and Next.js

  • Backend APIs and secure production infrastructure

  • Rapid product iteration driven by real customer feedback

What They’re Looking For

  • Strong hands-on engineering experience across modern web and backend systems

  • Commercial experience with TypeScript, React, and Next.js

  • Practical experience building with:

    • LLMs

    • RAG architectures

    • Agents and orchestration frameworks

    • Embeddings and vector search

    • AI evals and infrastructure

  • Comfortable owning ambiguous technical problems end-to-end

  • Product-minded, pragmatic, and able to move quickly in an early-stage environment

Nice to Have

Experience or interest in:

  • HealthTech

  • RegTech / Compliance

  • AI governance

  • Security

  • Other regulated industries

Why Join?

This is a genuine founding-level opportunity with significant ownership, influence, and impact.

You’ll help shape not just the AI systems, but the broader product and engineering direction alongside an experienced founding team tackling a meaningful real-world problem.
