Founding Engineer (AI)

Imagine saying to your friends/family im Founding Engineer #1 for a AI tech unicorn?
This is a genuinely rare, very unique opportunity to become the first engineering hire at a company with the ambition and backing to become a future tech unicorn.
The company was founded recently by two exceptionally strong founders who have a history of building, scaling, and selling businesses. They’ve already raised $10m+ in pre-seed funding back by top tier VC's companies and have a clear, aggressive plan to deploy that capital to accelerate growth quickly, so you’ll be joining at the very start, but with serious momentum behind it.
They’re tackling a huge, real world problem in a 100bn+ market. As we know, every hospital, school, pub etc must meet strict safety and compliance requirements. Despite how critical this is, the industry is still largely run on manual, outdated processes: spreadsheets, PDFs, and weeks or even months spent writing reports and documentation. It’s inefficient, frustrating, and ripe for change.
That’s exactly what this company has cracked. They’re building a fully AI native platform that automates the admin and paperwork that specialist engineers hate doing, so those engineers can focus actually solving real problems. The result is massive gains in productivity, better margins and software that operators genuinely want to use.
What makes this especially compelling is the growth strategy. These aren't just selling software and hoping for adoption, the company acquires profitable, real world service businesses and brings them straight onto their AI platform. That means immediate users, software like marginsm real operational data and fast feedback you’ll see the impact of your work in the real world, almost immediately..
As Founding Engineer / Tech Lead, you’ll get stuck in from day one, with real ownership and influence. You’ll design and build the core platform, automate messy real world workflows, and shape how AI is actually used inside operational businesses.
You’ll also be backed to grow your own team, with a clear path to CTO before they get to Series A. This won’t be for everyone, there will be long nights and hard problems to solve but for the right person, the upside and ownership are exceptional.
This isnt like any other AI engineering opportunity, the equity on offer hear is life changing, not the standard <1% the founders are willing to give away a signicant amount. They predicted a worst case payout on their roadmap would be around 2mil+.
If you enjoy building from scratch, want autonomy and influence, and like the idea of applying AI to the physical world, not just dashboards, this is a rare chance to help define a company at the very beginning.
