Fractile was founded in 2022 on the bet that, eventually, the world's most capable AI systems would be limited in their impact by the time taken to produce useful outputs. We bet everything on the logical conclusion: that the only way to truly unlock this latent value, to make speed viable at scale, was to radically re-invent the hardware that we run our frontier AI models on. Ever since, we have been building chips and systems that tackle this problem: how to efficiently generate output at thousands of tokens per second, while handling the complexity and capacity challenges of operating large models at very long contexts. The workloads that push to the limits of the current frontier are already transformational; it is the technical and economic limits on inference speed that are constraining progress. The defining work of the 21st century will be marked by the engine of inference delivering immense and diffuse chains of intellectual inquiry, in drug discovery, in software engineering, in materials discovery, in any field where progress is driven by deep reasoning and intelligence to resolve complex problems. The Role We are looking for Senior ML Compiler Engineers with experience in machine learning compilation to work on the compiler stack for our ground-breaking AI accelerators. You can be based in our Bristol office or London. Fractile isn't another AI startup gluing together frameworks. We are designing a full-stack execution engine: hardware, compiler, runtime, to build the world's largest language models 100 x faster than today's systems. That ambition forces us to rethink everything from first principles. For compiler engineers, this is a rare moment: the architecture is still being shaped. The IR, the lowering strategy, the optimisation passes, the execution model - you get to define its future. In this role, you will: Develop the machine learning compiler stack for Fractile's innovative AI acceleration hardware Enable industry-leading performance of the latest LLMs on Fractile's accelerators Work with hardware, driver runtime, and ML engineers in a highly collaborative hardware-software co-design methodology It would be great if you have: Proven experience of the development of machine learning compilers using industry standard technologies such as MLIR or TVM Up-to-date knowledge of machine learning techniques and technologies A good understanding of computer architecture and performance optimisation techniques Excellent C/C++ skills and solid experience of industry standard development tools and technologies An creative and innovative mindset, and a willingness to take ownership and drive results in a fast-paced environment Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Maths, Physics, or related degree and 4+ years of industry experience You may also have: Previous experience in a startup or small team environment What We Offer Competitive salary: A competitive salary reflective of your experience and the specialist nature of the role. Equity & Ownership: meaningful equity so everyone shares in the value creation Benefits: Private Medical, Dental and Vision, Contributory Pension, 25 Days holiday plus bank holidays and Life/Critical Illness Insurance. Diverse & fun office: we believe the hardest problems get solved by the broadest range of minds. We are committed to Equal Employment Opportunity through attracting and retaining a diverse team and building an inclusive environment. Fractile is seeking to increase the clock speed of global progress, one chip at a time. We've recently raised $220M from investors including Founders Fund and Accel and our most important work lies ahead. Join us!

Role: Product & Account Lead Contract: Contract 6-12 months, Hybrid (ASAP start) Salary: Competitive Location: Greater Oxford Area A note from the Founders Oxford Dynamics is at an inflection point. We have spent five years building AI and robotic systems for some of the most demanding environments in the world. We are now taking that technology into the private sector, and life sciences is where we are starting. The decisions we make now will define not just how fast we grow, but who we become. You will work closely with all the team. You will be trusted with judgment calls. You will influence the business. And you will see the impact of your work every day in the work we do. If you are excited by ownership, pace and purpose - and by building something that genuinely matters - we would love to hear from you. Who We Are Founded in 2020, Oxford Dynamics (OD) is a fast-growing UK deep-tech company developing AI and robotic systems designed to operate in mission-critical environments. Our flagship AVIS (A Very Intelligent System) AI framework fuses multi-modal data - text, imagery, telemetry and sensor feeds - enabling operators to interrogate complex information at speed and make better decisions under pressure. Our STRIDER robotic platform performs autonomous tasks in hazardous environments, protecting people while extending operational reach. Our ambition is simple but demanding: to converge AI and robotics so machines can sense, understand and act in complex, real-world environments. Alongside our defence and security work, we are building a private sector business applying the same technology to scientific and industrial problems. Our biotech partnership is the flagship of that effort - using AVIS to help researchers navigate vast, fragmented scientific data and get to answers faster. What you will be doing here / why this role matters Oxford Dynamics is a small team who rely on a collaborative and positive approach, and so the right attitude for this role is equally as important as experience. We are at an important stage and time in our growth, and as our Product & Account Lead you will be an essential part of our success. This is a role with a name on it. You will own our biotech account outright - the client relationship, the product, the team that builds it, and how the account performs commercially. You will be the person the client calls and the person our engineers look to for direction. There is no established playbook here; you will be writing it. If you are excited by owning a client relationship, shaping a product, and growing an account from first deployment to long-term partnership, this role is built for you! Role Summary Oxford Dynamics seeks a Product & Account Lead to own our biotech account end to end. You will hold the client relationship, set product priorities from client and market needs, direct the internal delivery team, and carry responsibility for the commercial performance and growth of the account. The role bridges cutting-edge AI and practical deployment, making sure what we build lands with real users, gets adopted, and turns into a scalable long-term partnership. This is a private sector role. No security clearance is required. Key Responsibilities Own the Biotech Account Act as the primary point of contact for the client, building trust at every level from day-to-day users through to senior stakeholders. Set and manage priorities with the client, keeping expectations, scope and commitments clear and realistic on both sides. Run communication end to end: regular updates, structured reviews, honest escalation when something slips, and no surprises. Own delivery into the account, from what is promised through to what actually ships and gets used. Take responsibility for overall account performance - health, satisfaction, renewal risk and commercial outcomes - and report on it to leadership. Lead the Product and Team Manage the internal team delivering the account, setting direction, sequencing work and keeping momentum going. Translate client feedback and market needs into a clear product roadmap, deciding what gets built next and why. Coordinate resources across engineering, AI, design and commercial functions, flagging constraints early and resolving competing demands. Ensure everyone is aligned on responsibilities and outcomes, so each person knows what they own and what good looks like. Partner with Tech Leads on design and architecture trade-offs, aligning what is technically ambitious with what the client actually needs. Drive Delivery and Scale Own project plans, milestones and deadlines, managing scope, risk and change control to deliver on time and within cost. Identify growth opportunities within the account and pursue them, expanding usage into new teams, workflows and use cases. Increase adoption and revenue, tracking the metrics that show the product is genuinely embedded in the client's work. Solve problems independently, making decisions with incomplete information and escalating with options rather than open questions. Build a scalable long-term account, replacing one-off effort with repeatable process so the relationship grows without breaking. Reporting and Ways of Working Run lightweight Agile ceremonies appropriate to the team, with clear acceptance criteria and measurable outcomes for each increment. Produce crisp client and leadership reporting, acting as the single point of contact to unblock issues across internal teams, suppliers and stakeholders. Oversee vendor and subcontractor deliverables, ensuring integrations meet contractual, performance and quality requirements. Uphold data handling, confidentiality and quality standards appropriate to working with sensitive commercial and scientific data. Skills and Experience 5+ years managing AI projects with multiple stakeholders, delivering production releases in fast-moving environments. Proven ownership of a client relationship end to end, including commercial responsibility for how that account performs. Background in biotech, pharma or life sciences - understanding the requirements of our customers and speaking their language. Track record translating customer and market needs into product priorities that engineering teams can execute. Experience leading or coordinating technical teams, with the credibility to discuss trade-offs with engineers. Comfortable around modern AI and software stacks - LLMs, RAG, data pipelines, Python and React or equivalent - without needing to write the code yourself. Strong scope, requirements and budget control, with practical command of milestones, risk and change control. Genuinely self-directed: comfortable operating without a playbook and building the process as you go. Preferred / Bonus Experience growing an account through expansion, upsell or renewal, with measurable adoption and revenue outcomes. Portfolio of shipped AI or software products with measurable outcomes and references you can point to. Familiarity with scientific or research data, or with regulated environments. Comfort presenting to senior stakeholders and contributing to business development activities and proposals. Soft Skills High-agency ownership from first conversation to long-term partnership, with a bias to clarity, iteration and decision-making under uncertainty. Excellent communication across technical and non-technical audiences - scientists, engineers and executives alike - enabling fast, safe progress across disciplines. Commercial instinct: able to spot where value sits for the client and turn that into growth for the account. Calm, structured problem-solving during incidents and changing constraints, with clear follow-through on actions and learning. What We Offer Join the most exciting growth area in the UK: AI and Robotics! Every member of the Oxford Dynamics team has a major impact on the products and services we provide. Regardless of job title, you'll get to make a real difference and learn from colleagues about all areas of our business.

About the role This is a senior, foundational role on a new team: you'll make architecture decisions that the rest of the team builds on and help shape what we build first. The work is hands on and varied. Some weeks you'll be deep in pipeline or infrastructure engineering; others you'll be tuning prompts until the output is good or sitting with a research team that depends on your systems and shipping the fixes they need. We are looking for experienced engineers who own outcomes end to end - down to reading transcripts, supporting users, and wrangling vendors. The company's RL Data team builds the systems that produce high quality reinforcement learning data for Claude: data collection pipelines, human feedback tooling, the execution environments RL tasks run in, and the quality assurance that keeps training data trustworthy at scale. Our goal is to make Claude great at real work - especially the work that matters most, like AI safety research and beneficial deployments of AI. (To be upfront: this is dual use work - it advances general capabilities too.) Key responsibilities Own significant parts of our stack end to end, from technical architecture through the unglamorous operational work that makes it succeed. Build data collection pipelines, read the transcripts they produce, and iterate on prompts, evals, and graders until the output is good. Develop and improve QA frameworks to catch reward hacking and ensure environment quality. Build interfaces that make collecting human data fast and painless for the people providing it. Harden execution environments - sandboxing, snapshotting, tool coverage - so tasks hold up at training scale. Embed with the teams and domain experts who use our systems day to day, and work with operations, security, and compliance partners to roll our systems out to new users and vendors. Minimum qualifications A track record of owning major projects end to end in fast paced, ambiguous environments - for example as a founder or CTO, forward deployed engineer, tech lead, founding engineer at a startup, or creator of a substantial open source project. Trusted to run key projects: you lead and inspire others, plan workstreams effectively, collaborate with cross functional stakeholders, and proactively eliminate or escalate blockers. Strong software engineering skills in at least one modern programming language - we mostly use Python and TypeScript, but care more about quickly picking up new tools than knowing our exact stack. Familiarity with Docker, Kubernetes, and common cloud infrastructure is a plus. Effective use of AI tools in your own day to day work. Care about the societal impacts of your work. Preferred qualifications Experience with reinforcement learning on LLMs, particularly on the data side: creating evals, environments, rewards, graders, or training data. Experience helping organizations use AI more effectively, including integrating with third party tools via APIs, CLIs, and MCP servers. Strong data engineering skills: pipelines that handle large volumes reliably in production, LLM powered enrichment steps, and a focus on improving data quality. Experience shipping user facing products or internal platforms people love: interviewing users, hunting down friction, measurably improving the experience. Basic familiarity with AI safety or security research. Representative projects Take a data collection pipeline from research prototype to a production service that serves many research teams - collection, human validation, grading, and everything in between. Own the program of developing sandboxed execution environments realistic enough for long horizon, high tool use agentic tasks - and harden them so they behave correctly across millions of rollouts in a frontier training run. Bring a new data source online - from first conversation with a partner organization to data flowing into production training runs - coordinating with product, security, privacy, legal, and infrastructure teams along the way. Own the QA layer that decides which tasks make it into Claude's training: automated checks and expert review flows (a busy domain expert should be able to validate a task in under five minutes) that hold up when a frontier model learns to game them. Cut the time from 'rough task idea' to 'task in a production training run' from days to hours. You'd own the direction: figure out where the bottlenecks actually are, then automate, redesign, or delete the steps in the way. Compensation Annual Salary: $320,000 - $485,000 USD Logistics Minimum education: Bachelor's degree or an equivalent combination of education, training, and/or experience. Required field of study: A field relevant to the role as demonstrated through coursework, training, or professional experience. Minimum years of experience: Years of experience required will correlate with the internal job level requirements for the position. Location based hybrid policy: We expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. Some roles may require more time in our offices. Visa sponsorship: We do sponsor visas and will make every reasonable effort to obtain a visa if you receive an offer. Benefits Competitive compensation and benefits, optional equity donation matching, generous vacation and parental leave, flexible working hours, and a lovely office space for collaboration.

Founding Security Engineer (Application & Infrastructure) Build the shield that makes Enterprise Superintelligence trustworthy London / Remote • Full-time • Pavo Labs About Pavo Pavo is building Enterprise Superintelligence: compounding systems that take ownership of business outcomes and work with humans to deliver them. We believe that while foundation models are necessary, they are not sufficient. The hard problem is systems intelligence: end-to-end architectures that understand a company's code, data, and decisions, and improve themselves through experience. We are assembling a small, senior team of researchers and engineers obsessed with systems-first intelligence. Our current team consists of PhDs and ML engineers from top applied ML and coding agent companies, with a heritage of shipping systems at Spotify, ShareChat, and Sourcegraph scale. Our team has built impressive momentum with a small group of highly capable engineers and researchers. The Opportunity As a Founding Security Engineer, you will help establish the security foundations for Pavo's agentic and knowledge systems. You help secure autonomous systems that write code, execute tools, and interact with sensitive enterprise data. This role sits at the bleeding edge of AI Security, wherein you harden the infrastructure that allows our knowledge and agentic systems to work safely inside Fortune 500 environments. You will build the shield that makes Enterprise Superintelligence trustworthy. What You'll Build You will own the holistic security posture of the Pavo platform, spanning Application, AI, and Infrastructure security: AI & Application Security: Lead the defense against LLM-specific vulnerabilities (Prompt Injection, Insecure Output Handling) and standard web threats (OWASP Top 10). Implement "Guardrails" that sanitize agent inputs/outputs and conduct continuous red-teaming of our agent behaviors. Secure SDLC & DevSecOps: Embed security into our CI/CD pipelines without slowing down our high-velocity engineering team. Integrate automated SAST/DAST scanning, dependency management (SCA), and secret detection into our daily workflow. Cloud & Infrastructure Hardening: Work closely with Systems Engineers to secure our Kubernetes clusters and compute environments. Design strict IAM policies (least privilege for agents) and ensure network isolation so that agent execution environments are impenetrable. Vulnerability Management: Own the lifecycle of vulnerability detection and remediation. Manage bug bounty programs, coordinate third-party pentests, and ensure our open-source dependencies (and the code our agents generate) are secure. Enterprise Trust: Help design features that give our customers confidence, such as audit logging, data residency controls, and rigorous access governance. What We Are Looking For We are looking for a security practitioner who is a builder at heart-someone who would rather ship a secure fix than write a policy document. Core Qualifications Experience: 5+ years of experience in Security Engineering, with a strong focus on Application Security and Cloud Security. AppSec Proficiency: Deep understanding of modern web vulnerabilities (CSRF, SSRF, XSS) and experience utilizing tools like Burp Suite, Semgrep, or CodeQL. Review code in Python or Go and spot logic flaws that scanners miss.

MOO brings brands to life in a sustainable way, with a range of remarkable print and merchandise products. We combine design, technology, manufacturing and service, so that people can connect in memorable ways. Not online but out there, in real life. We started in 2004. Since then we've built an award-winning and much-loved brand, with customer satisfaction and Trustpilot ratings that make most businesses want to give up and hire an army of review bots. We've got half a million customers, mostly small and medium businesses in North America, the UK, and Europe - businesses that, like us, get all excited about putting something real and beautiful into people's hands. Does that make us nerds? Probably, and we're ok with that. We've been given the highest business award in Britain, 'The Queen's Award for Enterprise'. Backed by venture capital, we're part of Tech Nation's 'Future Fifty', recently passing $1bn in lifetime revenue, and featuring in the Guardian's top 10 UK start-ups list. Ok, we'll stop bragging now. Today, we're more than 400 people with our global HQ in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you'll find us in Boston, MA, as well as East Providence, RI and Denver, CO and with our most recent office expansion in Cape Town South Africa. At MOO, technology runs the whole length of the business. From the moment a customer lands on the site and starts designing, through checkout and order orchestration, all the way to the machines on our factory floor that print, cut, and finish the product. We're a vertically integrated company: we design it, we make it, and we sell it. Few technology leaders get to work across a scope this broad. We're looking for a VP of Technology to lead our technology organisation through a period of significant change and investment. We're modernising the platform that powers our ecommerce experience, connecting it more tightly to the post-purchase and manufacturing systems behind it, and raising the bar on how our teams build. You'll be the most senior technology leader in the business, sitting alongside our commercial, product, and operations leaders, representing technology to our executive team, and our board and accountable for the health, performance, and output of the whole organisation. The direction is set and the team is moving. We are not looking for someone to tear it up and start again, and we are not looking for a caretaker either. We want someone who raises the ambition, pace, and standards of a team that has momentum, and who changes things by building trust rather than by decree. The mission matters and the ambition is high, and there's real work to do: sharpening how we deliver, growing and keeping brilliant people, and making deliberate, well-sequenced technology bets that move the business forward. What you'll do Represent technology at the top of the business. Own the technology strategy, the budget, and the narrative. Face off with the executive team and the board and make the case for where technology investment goes and what it returns. Lead the functions. Own functional leadership across all of technology, spanning our ecommerce teams (storefront through checkout), our post-purchase and fulfilment teams, and the systems that run our manufacturing operations, with our platform and IT functions joining as part of an org design you will lead. Set the standards, the technical direction, and the way the team operates. Set the pace. Hold the organisation accountable for outcomes, through your leaders rather than around them. Raise the ambition and the standard, and give your engineering leaders the support and air cover to deliver at pace. Build and grow a high-performing team. Hire well, develop your leaders and engineers, and create the conditions where great people do their best work and choose to stay. Own the engineering culture, the performance bar, and how the organisation is structured. Partner across the business. Work closely with Product, Commercial, and Operations leadership to turn strategy into a credible, sequenced delivery plan. Translate engineering investment into business outcomes, and make the trade-offs visible. Drive the platform forward. Steer the modernisation of our ecommerce platform and its connection to the systems behind it, keeping delivery flowing while the foundations change underneath. Make pragmatic build-versus-buy calls and sequence the work so the business sees value quickly rather than only at the end. Raise the engineering bar. Own quality, reliability, and delivery performance across the organisation. Bring rigour to how we measure and improve throughput, stability, and the day-to-day developer experience. Lead responsible AI adoption. Champion the effective and responsible adoption of AI tooling and modern software development practices across the team. Set the guardrails, prove the value, and help our engineers do better work, faster. What you'll bring A strong track record of senior leadership. You've led engineering organisations, not just teams: you've managed managers, grown other engineering leaders beneath you, and owned org design at scale. A track record of taking an organisation through a step-change in pace and performance, or through a major transformation, and delivering the result. You've moved an organisation forward, not only held one together. You operate as a true executive: you help shape company strategy and set technical direction, rather than waiting for it to be handed down. Experience operating with boards and investors in a growth or investor-backed business, and comfortable being the technology voice in that room. Breadth across the stack: experience with customer-facing ecommerce or consumer web, and with the operational, back-office, or supply-chain systems behind it. Exposure to manufacturing, logistics, or physical-product operations is a strong plus. Experience modernising a significant platform, ideally moving from a monolith toward a modern, service-based or headless architecture, without stalling delivery along the way. A genuine talent for building and retaining high-performing teams, with a high hiring bar and a real investment in growing people. Hands-on fluency with AI-assisted development and modern SDLC practices, and a clear point of view on adopting them responsibly and effectively. Commercial instinct: you connect engineering decisions to revenue, cost, and customer outcomes, and you can hold your own with commercial and finance leaders. Clear, credible communication with engineers and executives alike, and the judgement to know which conversation you're in. In your first year, success looks like A healthy, well-structured organisation that delivers predictably, where great people are set up to do their best work and want to stay. Platform modernisation progressing against a plan the whole business understands and believes in. A technology cost line the CFO understands and trusts, with a clear line from investment to business outcome. AI-assisted ways of working adopted deliberately and measurably across the team. Product, commercial, and operations partners who trust engineering to deliver, with the trade-offs behind the roadmap made clear. What's it like to work at MOO? MOO's the kind of workplace where you can really be yourself. Dye your hair purple. Hit the sofa with your laptop. Whatever helps you feel comfortable and happy at work. We want to help you grow in your career and set you up for success - while also recognising the importance of a healthy work/life balance. That's why we offer 25 days holiday rising by one day for each year here (for 5 years), a matched pension scheme, and paid parental leave. We'll offer you private healthcare, life insurance, a season ticket loan, and a cycle to work scheme. We also offer flexible work schedules with hybrid and remote working for certain roles as well as a Work From Anywhere program. 25 days holiday rising by one day for each year here (for 5 years), a matched pension scheme, and paid parental leave.

EQT is looking for an Applied AI Lead - a delivery-focused engineering leader who brings together technical depth, product instinct, and the credibility to partner with investment professionals, operators, and engineers to turn generative AI from prototype into production. This role sits at the heart of EQT's ambition to become the most AI-literate firm in private markets. About the Team You will lead EQT's Applied AI function, a multidisciplinary team of applied AI engineers, ML engineers, and full-stack builders shipping high-impact generative AI products across Client, Investment Teams, and Fund/Group. The team consumes Tech Foundations' shared AI platform while owning lightweight tooling and operational practices to move with speed. About the Role You will lead a team of engineers deployed on high-impact projects to quickly drive results within both engineering and business teams. You will lead with craft, actively contributing to assignments alongside your leadership duties and you will act as a catalyst, helping engineering teams accelerate AI delivery and maximizing AI impact across business teams. You set the standard for quality and delivery across the team. Lead, mentor, and grow a multidisciplinary Applied AI team with clear expectations for delivery quality and technical craft. Own the Applied AI roadmap in close alignment with business stakeholders and value stream teams; stay attuned to emerging AI capabilities and evaluate where new models, agents, or tooling unlock fresh value. Partner with Tech Foundations, Product, Data, and Security teams to ensure Applied AI products integrate cleanly and responsibly. Serve as the senior AI partner to EQT's business lines - working directly with investment professionals and leaders to translate opportunities into concrete deliverables. Drive adoption of shipped products through enablement, demonstrations, training, and active feedback loops with end users. Track the AI frontier and apply fresh thinking to raise the bar on what EQT can build. Measure and communicate business impact with rigour - instrumenting both engineering productivity gains and user adoption - and hire engineers who understand that judgment about AI output, decomposition skills, and willingness to change workflows matter more than framework credentials. About You You are a thoughtful, delivery-oriented leader who combines technical depth with business fluency to navigate private markets. You bring collaborative leadership, sound judgment, and relentless curiosity about where AI creates genuine value in PE. What you'll bring (must-have): Leadership & Credibility: At least 10 years in software or ML/AI engineering, with 3-5 years in a leadership capacity managing teams or strategic delivery in applied AI, ML product, or AI platform environments. Demonstrated AI Leverage & Outcomes: Concrete evidence of AI-driven productivity gains: a specific product, workflow, or internal tool you shipped with AI; a measurable before/after (latency, throughput, manual-work elimination); and how you measured it. Willingness to Abandon Habits for Better Tooling: You've changed your mind on how you write AI systems because a new approach or model capability made the old one obsolete. You ship what works now, not what worked last year, and you bring that standard to how you lead. Working Knowledge of Private Equity & Deal Workflow: Genuine operational fluency in PE - deal cycles, investment decision-making, portfolio workflows, or comparable high-stakes professional services. You translate vague "investment teams struggle with analysis" into shippable features and know where AI actually applies vs. distraction. Measurement & Instrumentation: You cultivate a culture of transparency and clarity. You measure impact and productivity not just for dashboards, but to empower your team, identify where we win, and remove barriers to success. You believe that rigorous, data-informed insights create fairness and accountability-enabling you to hire, promote, and develop top-quartile talent who value 'Owning It'. Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Leadership: You've translated ambiguous business needs into shippable AI products in close partnership with non-technical stakeholders. You lead across engineering, product, data, and security without formal authority. You've rolled out internal platforms or shared services and know how to drive adoption. Judgment About What's Real vs. Hype: You follow AI research actively but skeptically - testing whether new capabilities solve problems you care about. You experiment thoughtfully and bring a craft-oriented mindset to your team. Comfort in Ambiguity & Distributed Environments: You've operated effectively in large, complex organisations across time zones, unclear ownership, and shifting priorities. Nice to have: Direct experience in private equity operations, investing, or portfolio company engagement. Experience with data governance, security, and AI compliance frameworks. A track record of building strong developer experiences and high-leverage internal tooling. Experience enabling AI adoption at an organisational scale, including training, change management, or community building. Familiarity with AI infrastructure or platform team environments (beyond applied AI delivery). A public track record of open-source contributions, technical writing, or speaking on AI systems design or engineering practices. What We Offer EQT offers a rare opportunity to shape how one of the world's leading private markets firms applies AI at scale. You'll work alongside sharp minds in finance and technology, with the mandate and resources to build something genuinely impactful. We're committed to a high-trust environment where what you deliver matters more than tenure. Compensation & Benefits Notice We offer a competitive total rewards package including base salary, determined based on the role, experience, skill set, and location. Eligible employees may also receive discretionary incentive compensation, awarded in recognition of individual performance and company results. EQT provides a comprehensive benefits offering designed to support employee wellbeing, development, and work-life balance. Benefits are effective from the first day of employment and may vary by location and role.

MOO brings brands to life in a sustainable way, with a range of remarkable print and merchandise products. We combine design, technology, manufacturing and service, so that people can connect in memorable ways. Not online but out there, in real life. We started in 2004. Since then we've built an award-winning and much-loved brand, with customer satisfaction and Trustpilot ratings that make most businesses want to give up and hire an army of review bots. We've got half a million customers, mostly small and medium businesses in North America, the UK, and Europe - businesses that, like us, get all excited about putting something real and beautiful into people's hands. Does that make us nerds? Probably, and we're ok with that. We've been given the highest business award in Britain, 'The Queen's Award for Enterprise'. Backed by venture capital, we're part of Tech Nation's 'Future Fifty', recently passing $1bn in lifetime revenue, and featuring in the Guardian's top 10 UK start-ups list. Ok, we'll stop bragging now. Today, we're more than 400 people with our global HQ in London, UK, while we also have premises in Dagenham. In the US, you'll find us in Boston, MA, as well as East Providence, RI and Denver, CO and with our most recent office expansion in Cape Town South Africa. At MOO, technology runs the whole length of the business. From the moment a customer lands on the site and starts designing, through checkout and order orchestration, all the way to the machines on our factory floor that print, cut, and finish the product. We're a vertically integrated company: we design it, we make it, and we sell it. Few technology leaders get to work across a scope this broad. We're looking for a VP of Technology to lead our technology organisation through a period of significant change and investment. We're modernising the platform that powers our ecommerce experience, connecting it more tightly to the post-purchase and manufacturing systems behind it, and raising the bar on how our teams build. You'll be the most senior technology leader in the business, sitting alongside our commercial, product, and operations leaders, representing technology to our executive team, and our board and accountable for the health, performance, and output of the whole organisation. The direction is set and the team is moving. We are not looking for someone to tear it up and start again, and we are not looking for a caretaker either. We want someone who raises the ambition, pace, and standards of a team that has momentum, and who changes things by building trust rather than by decree. The mission matters and the ambition is high, and there's real work to do: sharpening how we deliver, growing and keeping brilliant people, and making deliberate, well-sequenced technology bets that move the business forward. What you'll do Represent technology at the top of the business. Own the technology strategy, the budget, and the narrative. Face off with the executive team and the board and make the case for where technology investment goes and what it returns. Lead the functions. Own functional leadership across all of technology, spanning our ecommerce teams (storefront through checkout), our post-purchase and fulfilment teams, and the systems that run our manufacturing operations, with our platform and IT functions joining as part of an org design you will lead. Set the standards, the technical direction, and the way the team operates. Set the pace. Hold the organisation accountable for outcomes, through your leaders rather than around them. Raise the ambition and the standard, and give your engineering leaders the support and air cover to deliver at pace. Build and grow a high-performing team. Hire well, develop your leaders and engineers, and create the conditions where great people do their best work and choose to stay. Own the engineering culture, the performance bar, and how the organisation is structured. Partner across the business. Work closely with Product, Commercial, and Operations leadership to turn strategy into a credible, sequenced delivery plan. Translate engineering investment into business outcomes, and make the trade-offs visible. Drive the platform forward. Steer the modernisation of our ecommerce platform and its connection to the systems behind it, keeping delivery flowing while the foundations change underneath. Make pragmatic build-versus-buy calls and sequence the work so the business sees value quickly rather than only at the end. Raise the engineering bar. Own quality, reliability, and delivery performance across the organisation. Bring rigour to how we measure and improve throughput, stability, and the day-to-day developer experience. Lead responsible AI adoption. Champion the effective and responsible adoption of AI tooling and modern software development practices across the team. Set the guardrails, prove the value, and help our engineers do better work, faster. What you'll bring A strong track record of senior leadership. You've led engineering organisations, not just teams: you've managed managers, grown other engineering leaders beneath you, and owned org design at scale. A track record of taking an organisation through a step-change in pace and performance, or through a major transformation, and delivering the result. You've moved an organisation forward, not only held one together. You operate as a true executive: you help shape company strategy and set technical direction, rather than waiting for it to be handed down. Experience operating with boards and investors in a growth or investor-backed business, and comfortable being the technology voice in that room. Breadth across the stack: experience with customer-facing ecommerce or consumer web, and with the operational, back-office, or supply-chain systems behind it. Exposure to manufacturing, logistics, or physical-product operations is a strong plus. Experience modernising a significant platform, ideally moving from a monolith toward a modern, service-based or headless architecture, without stalling delivery along the way. A genuine talent for building and retaining high-performing teams, with a high hiring bar and a real investment in growing people. Hands-on fluency with AI-assisted development and modern SDLC practices, and a clear point of view on adopting them responsibly and effectively. Commercial instinct: you connect engineering decisions to revenue, cost, and customer outcomes, and you can hold your own with commercial and finance leaders. Clear, credible communication with engineers and executives alike, and the judgement to know which conversation you're in. In your first year, success looks like A healthy, well-structured organisation that delivers predictably, where great people are set up to do their best work and want to stay. Platform modernisation progressing against a plan the whole business understands and believes in. A technology cost line the CFO understands and trusts, with a clear line from investment to business outcome. AI-assisted ways of working adopted deliberately and measurably across the team.

Additional benefits are shared as part of the job posting. Hi I'm Abhik, Ashby's Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. We're looking for an ambitious full-stack engineer who is laser-focused on solving customer problems and making the right long-term investments to solve them not only today but in our future features and products. What Ashby gives you in return is the best of both early and growth stage environments. The agency and no nonsense of a seed startup: you write product specs, make product and design decisions, and build in an almost no meeting culture. While also the product market fit and scale of a growth stage startup: tens of thousands of daily users who depend on your software and eagerly await your next feature. We have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are best in class among our peers: we have tens of millions in ARR, growing >100% year over year, very low churn, and many years of runway. We'll share more details once we meet. You've probably seen this role posted before, and it's because we're always expanding the team (we're on track to double this year). We're bubbling with ideas on how to support Talent Acquisition through software, and we've started the journey of building products beyond Talent Acquisition. We read every application and aim to respond to yours within 3 4 days (often sooner). About the Role and How We Work Our engineering culture strives to recreate the environments where we did our best work as ICs - where we had the ownership and agency to impact our users with creative and innovative software. I started my career building software for artists in the Visual Effects industry. It was a formative experience for me as a software engineer because success relied on my ability to be a product manager and designer. I talked to artists to understand their needs. I came up with ideas. I did industry research, designed interfaces, and prototyped ideas. I watched artists use what I built and decided what to tackle in the next iteration. No daily stand ups, no t shirt sizing, no planning meetings. I studied computer science to solve problems, not tickets, and this felt exactly like that. I not only felt creative and fulfilled but the agency and ownership we were given as engineers powered an incredible amount of innovation. Innovation came differently (or not at all) at technology startups beyond the seed stage, often through an engineer's force of will and ability to push back against culture (rather than any encouragement from it). Engineering was narrowed to implementation and delivery, partly due to the influence of other departments and partly due to the influx of "Agile" processes like sprint planning. In those companies, I felt like a JIRA jockey. At Ashby, we're building an environment that is optimistic about what engineers can own and achieve. An environment that embraces innovative engineers, and, frankly, often stays out of their way. As a Product Engineer, you'll take ownership over a large portion of one of our products and own projects end to end (wearing hats traditionally worn by product and design). You'll research competitors, write product specs, make wireframes, and more. To ground it with examples, product engineers at Ashby have: Designed and built automated interview scheduling. This feature automates scheduling by calculating possible times from a pool of interviewers and other constraints, and then presenting these times to the candidate for selection via our responsive web app. This solves the "Calendar Tetris" problem I talk about in What We're Building. Built a generalized declarative filter architecture that allows users to create complex filters for any record with a consistent UI and compile it to SQL in our backend. Many user facing features use it. Specced, designed, and implemented a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby. This project involved talking to customers to understand their requirements, deciding what technologies to use, building a prototype, and working with other team members to integrate the final implementation into additional features. What We're Building As engineers, we are used to tooling that makes us better at what we do. When we started Ashby, we saw the opposite with Talent Acquisition software. Recruiting teams were leveling up how they did their work, but instead of software meeting this new standard, it held them back. Scheduling a final round is an excellent example. Recruiting teams wanted to schedule candidates faster, track interviewer preparation and quality, and do it with half the headcount. A recruiter needed to manually collect availability from the candidate, identify qualified interviewers, perform "Calendar Tetris" to find who is available to interview the candidate, schedule on the earliest date possible, and make any last minute adjustments as availability changed. They must do this while considering the interview load on each individual and whether interviewers need to be trained and shadowing others. TA software didn't help. As hiring managers, we know TA is a critical function, and as engineers, we know software can do better. So, we built and continue to build Ashby to give TA teams the highest standard of tooling. Software that's intelligent and powerful. Software that provides insights into where they're failing and automates or simplifies many of the tasks they're underwater with. We want other functions and departments to be jealous of what TA teams can do with Ashby, and today they often are! Why You Should or Shouldn't Apply Software engineers come in many flavors, not all of which fit our model. Here are some things to help you decide if this fits you and what you're looking for: You're not afraid to tackle any part of a technology stack. You do what's necessary to successfully deliver a feature, whether writing frontend or choosing new infrastructure. We'll provide a supportive environment to do it successfully (e.g., design system, SRE team). You've tackled projects with a lot of product and technical ambiguity, and you thrive at the intersection of the two. You know how to strike the right balance between speed and quality. You are ambitious and always looking to improve your skills. You're an excellent collaborator and communicator. You seek to create leverage in your work. Put another way, you shouldn't apply if: You need company driven process and structure to get your projects across the finish line. You only want to do exciting work. You can get lost in the details. You haven't led or taken ownership of projects before. You want to mentor earlier career engineers. To you, a tech lead, staff, or principal engineer is someone who spends most of their time project managing or doing architecture reviews. Engineering Culture Our engineering culture is motivated by Benji's (my Co founder and CEO) and my belief that a small, talented team, given the right environment, can build high quality software fast (and work regular hours!). We do it through: Minimal process with ownership over decisions normally made by product and design Natural collaboration and deliberate communication Investing in tools and abstractions that give us leverage Putting effort into building a diverse team Minimal Process & Lots of Ownership The best engineers we've worked with delivered reliably magical outcomes. They took customer problems and relentlessly drove them to solutions that were not only successful but often brilliant and creative. While they did this with minimal oversight, stakeholders were never in the dark as to what was going on, and no setback was a surprise. Traditional product development processes aren't meant for the best engineers. Their purpose is to create consistent outcomes regardless of the engineer's skill. But, consistency comes at the expense of an engineer's time and freedom-both ingredients necessary to generate those magical outcomes. As a result, process stifles the best engineers and doesn't give others the opportunity to practice the behaviors that made the best engineers the "best." At Ashby, we want to build an environment that encourages every engineer to be their best. So, at Ashby, every Engineer runs their project. Product Managers (and Designers) build strategy, do customer research, and hand off problem briefs to Engineers. Engineers take on the rest: they research the problem, write product specs, build wireframes, and implement their solution end to end. We rely on engineers, not process, to push information outward to the relevant folks (e.g., Product Managers) and pull folks in to help (e.g., Designers, Infra). It's a new level of ownership for many engineers, but we'd rather an engineer fail a bit and coach up their skills than use process as a crutch. . click apply for full job details

Additional benefits are shared as part of the job posting. Hi I'm Abhik, Ashby's Co-Founder and VP of Engineering. We're looking for an ambitious full-stack engineer who is laser-focused on solving customer problems and making the right long-term investments to solve them not only today but in our future features and products. What Ashby gives you in return is the best of both early and growth stage environments. The agency and no nonsense of a seed startup: you write product specs, make product and design decisions, and build in an almost no meeting culture. While also the product market fit and scale of a growth stage startup: tens of thousands of daily users who depend on your software and eagerly await your next feature. We have notable customers like Notion, Linear, Shopify, and Snowflake. Our growth and retention metrics are best in class among our peers: we have tens of millions in ARR, growing >100% year over year, very low churn, and many years of runway. We'll share more details once we meet. You've probably seen this role posted before, and it's because we're always expanding the team (we're on track to double this year). We're bubbling with ideas on how to support Talent Acquisition through software, and we've started the journey of building products beyond Talent Acquisition. We read every application and aim to respond to yours within 3 4 days (often sooner). About the Role and How We Work Our engineering culture strives to recreate the environments where we did our best work as ICs - where we had the ownership and agency to impact our users with creative and innovative software. I started my career building software for artists in the Visual Effects industry. It was a formative experience for me as a software engineer because success relied on my ability to be a product manager and designer. I talked to artists to understand their needs. I came up with ideas. I did industry research, designed interfaces, and prototyped ideas. I watched artists use what I built and decided what to tackle in the next iteration. No daily stand ups, no t shirt sizing, no planning meetings. I studied computer science to solve problems, not tickets, and this felt exactly like that. I not only felt creative and fulfilled but the agency and ownership we were given as engineers powered an incredible amount of innovation. Innovation came differently (or not at all) at technology startups beyond the seed stage, often through an engineer's force of will and ability to push back against culture (rather than any encouragement from it). Engineering was narrowed to implementation and delivery, partly due to the influence of other departments and partly due to the influx of "Agile" processes like sprint planning. In those companies, I felt like a JIRA jockey. At Ashby, we're building an environment that is optimistic about what engineers can own and achieve. An environment that embraces innovative engineers, and, frankly, often stays out of their way. As a Product Engineer, you'll take ownership over a large portion of one of our products and own projects end to end (wearing hats traditionally worn by product and design). You'll research competitors, write product specs, make wireframes, and more. To ground it with examples, product engineers at Ashby have: Designed and built automated interview scheduling. This feature automates scheduling by calculating possible times from a pool of interviewers and other constraints, and then presenting these times to the candidate for selection via our responsive web app. This solves the "Calendar Tetris" problem I talk about in What We're Building. Built a generalized declarative filter architecture that allows users to create complex filters for any record with a consistent UI and compile it to SQL in our backend. Many user facing features use it. Specced, designed, and implemented a feature that allows users to complete signing offers entirely within Ashby. This project involved talking to customers to understand their requirements, deciding what technologies to use, building a prototype, and working with other team members to integrate the final implementation into additional features. What We're Building As engineers, we are used to tooling that makes us better at what we do. When we started Ashby, we saw the opposite with Talent Acquisition software. Recruiting teams were leveling up how they did their work, but instead of software meeting this new standard, it held them back. Scheduling a final round is an excellent example. Recruiting teams wanted to schedule candidates faster, track interviewer preparation and quality, and do it with half the headcount. A recruiter needed to manually collect availability from the candidate, identify qualified interviewers, perform "Calendar Tetris" to find who is available to interview the candidate, schedule on the earliest date possible, and make any last minute adjustments as availability changed. They must do this while considering the interview load on each individual and whether interviewers need to be trained and shadowing others. TA software didn't help. As hiring managers, we know TA is a critical function, and as engineers, we know software can do better. So, we built and continue to build Ashby to give TA teams the highest standard of tooling. Software that's intelligent and powerful. Software that provides insights into where they're failing and automates or simplifies many of the tasks they're underwater with. We want other functions and departments to be jealous of what TA teams can do with Ashby, and today they often are! Why You Should or Shouldn't Apply Software engineers come in many flavors, not all of which fit our model. Here are some things to help you decide if this fits you and what you're looking for: You're not afraid to tackle any part of a technology stack. You do what's necessary to successfully deliver a feature, whether writing frontend or choosing new infrastructure. We'll provide a supportive environment to do it successfully (e.g., design system, SRE team). You've tackled projects with a lot of product and technical ambiguity, and you thrive at the intersection of the two. You know how to strike the right balance between speed and quality. You are ambitious and always looking to improve your skills. You're an excellent collaborator and communicator. You seek to create leverage in your work. Put another way, you shouldn't apply if: You need company driven process and structure to get your projects across the finish line. You only want to do exciting work. You can get lost in the details. You haven't led or taken ownership of projects before. You want to mentor earlier career engineers. To you, a tech lead, staff, or principal engineer is someone who spends most of their time project managing or doing architecture reviews. Engineering Culture Our engineering culture is motivated by Benji's (my Co founder and CEO) and my belief that a small, talented team, given the right environment, can build high quality software fast (and work regular hours!). We do it through: Minimal process with ownership over decisions normally made by product and design Natural collaboration and deliberate communication Investing in tools and abstractions that give us leverage Putting effort into building a diverse team Minimal Process & Lots of Ownership The best engineers we've worked with delivered reliably magical outcomes. They took customer problems and relentlessly drove them to solutions that were not only successful but often brilliant and creative. While they did this with minimal oversight, stakeholders were never in the dark as to what was going on, and no setback was a surprise. Traditional product development processes aren't meant for the best engineers. Their purpose is to create consistent outcomes regardless of the engineer's skill. But, consistency comes at the expense of an engineer's time and freedom-both ingredients necessary to generate those magical outcomes. As a result, process stifles the best engineers and doesn't give others the opportunity to practice the behaviors that made the best engineers the "best." At Ashby, we want to build an environment that encourages every engineer to be their best. So, at Ashby, every Engineer runs their project. Product Managers (and Designers) build strategy, do customer research, and hand off problem briefs to Engineers.

Application deadline: We are conducting interviews actively and aim to fill this role as soon as we find someone suitable. ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY We develop and run evaluations that help assess the risks posed by scheming AIs. You will get to work with frontier labs like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind and be amongst the first to interact with new models before anyone else. The ideal candidate loves rigorously testing frontier AI models, and enjoys building efficient pipelines and automating them. YOU WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO Run pre-deployment evaluation campaigns on the most capable AI systems in the world. We partner with multiple labs, giving you access to a breadth of models that no single AI lab could offer. You'll be among the first people to interact with new models before anyone else. Deep dive into AI cognition. Scan through thousands of model transcripts to surface behavioral patterns that no one has ever observed before. These patterns are often deeply surprising and fascinating to study, e.g. the non-standard language and the reward seeking reasoning described in our anti scheming paper. Build new evaluations for frontier risks, from designing novel test environments to scaling them across hundreds of distinct scenarios. Work directly with frontier AI developers. Share your findings, engage with their feedback, and see your evaluations directly inform deployment decisions for the most capable AI systems in the world. Automate and improve the evaluation pipeline. We already use automation across building, running, and analyzing evals. Rapid progress in agent capabilities opens up radically new possibilities, and you'll have the freedom to rethink and reshape the pipeline as they emerge. KEY REQUIREMENTS Software engineering skills: Our entire stack uses Python. We're looking for candidates with strong software engineering experience. Ideally, you have experience shipping and maintaining production Python code, and know how to factor messy problems into clean abstractions that others can use and extend. Process optimisation: You always try to improve workflows. Pre deployment evaluations are very fast paced so ideally you love shaving friction off your workflows wherever possible. Data Analysis & Pattern Recognition: You can extract signal from large, messy datasets. You're comfortable with quantitative analysis and know when qualitative assessment is more appropriate. You can identify anomalies and unexpected model behaviors. Writing and communication: You succinctly convey qualitative and quantitative findings to a technical and non technical audience. AI power user: You are curious about the capabilities and propensities of frontier AI models. You have experience using different models, know which ones to use for which tasks, when not to use AI, and you always experiment with new AI workflows. (Bonus) We are using Inspect as our primary evals framework, and we value experience with it. We want to emphasize that people who feel they don't fulfill all of these characteristics but think they would be a good fit for the position, nonetheless, are strongly encouraged to apply. We believe that excellent candidates can come from a variety of backgrounds and are excited to give you opportunities to shine. We don't require a formal background or industry experience and welcome self taught candidates. BENEFITS This role offers market competitive salary, equity, and competitive benefits. Salary: 100k - 200k GBP ( 135k - 270k USD) Flexible work hours and schedule Unlimited vacation Unlimited sick leave Lunch, dinner, and snacks are provided for all employees on workdays Paid work trips, including staff retreats, business trips, and relevant conferences A yearly $1,000 (USD) professional development budget LOGISTICS Time Allocation: Full-time Location: The office is in London, and the building is shared with the London Initiative for Safe AI (LISA) offices. This is an in person role. In rare situations, we may consider partially remote arrangements on a case by case basis. Work Visas: We can sponsor UK visas ABOUT APOLLO RESEARCH The rapid rise in AI capabilities offer tremendous opportunities, but also present significant risks. At Apollo Research, we're primarily concerned with risks from Loss of Control, i.e. risks coming from the model itself rather than e.g. humans misusing the AI. We're particularly concerned with deceptive alignment / scheming, a phenomenon where a model appears to be aligned but is, in fact, misaligned and capable of evading human oversight. We work on the detection of scheming (e.g. building evaluations and novel evaluation techniques), the science of scheming (e.g. model organisms and the study of scaling trends), and scheming mitigations (e.g. control). We closely work with multiple frontier AI companies, e.g. to test their models before deployment and collaborate on fundamental research. At Apollo, we aim for a culture that emphasizes truth seeking, being goal oriented, giving and receiving constructive feedback, and being friendly and helpful. If you're interested in more details about what it's like working at Apollo, you can find more information here. ABOUT THE TEAM The current evals team consists of Jérémy Scheurer, Alex Meinke, Bronson Schoen, Felix Höfstäter, Axel Højmark, Teun van der Weij, Alex Lloyd and Mia Hopman. Alex Meinke coordinates the research agenda with guidance from Marius Hobbhahn, though team members lead individual projects. You will mostly work with the evals team as well as our team of software engineers, but you will likely sometimes interact with the governance team to translate technical knowledge into concrete recommendations. You can find our full team here. Equality Statement Apollo Research is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We value diversity and are committed to providing equal opportunities to all, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.

A World-Changing Company Meticulous is radically accelerating the pace of software development. We've built the world's first fully autonomous and exhaustive testing platform for frontend codebases - a capability that has never existed before and that we believe is the missing piece in unlocking the full potential of code generation. The demand has been immense. Companies like Dropbox, Wiz, and Notion often pay more for Meticulous than any other software product in their stack, and spontaneously refer us to others. Our team of eleven has achieved this by bringing together some of the most talented engineers from Uber, Google, Dropbox, GitHub, Meta, and Palantir. You can learn more about the company in this video here. The Role The First Platform Engineer Meticulous replays thousands of recorded user sessions against every pull request. This requires infrastructure that is fast, reliable, and cost-efficient at scale. As a Platform Engineer, you'll own the systems that make this possible. You'll design and build resilient infrastructure to support 10x growth, operate it in production, and shape our incident processes for when things break. This is not a maintenance role, you'll define how we build and operate as we scale. You'll have significant autonomy. We're a small team, and you'll be the first dedicated platform engineer. That means you'll make real architectural decisions, not just execute on someone else's design. Core Responsibilities Your work will involve pioneering our approach to platform engineering, from infrastructure and security to developer experience: Architecting Resilient Infrastructure: Design, build, and scale the compute platform that powers Meticulous, managing our cloud infrastructure through Terraform with proper change management. Optimise infrastructure costs, balancing performance and spend as we scale. Own Production Reliability: Improve our monitoring, alerting, incident response, and on-call rotation to ensure that when systems encounter problems, we're able to respond quickly and effectively to resolve incidents. Write Production Code Beyond Infrastructure: This role blends platform engineering with general software development work. Improve Developer Experience: Build internal tooling and automation that improves developer productivity and allows us to accelerate growth Build the playbook: As our first platform engineer, you'll establish infrastructure standards and practices for a growing engineering team, maintaining security and compliance standards across our infrastructure. What We're Looking For Exceptional engineering skills: 3+ years of experience in a software development or platform engineering role. Infrastructure expertise: Experience operating production systems on AWS (or other cloud provider), hands-on with Kubernetes, and enough Terraform to have opinions about how to structure it. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar). Strong technical foundation: Demonstrated ability to write production-quality code and solve hard technical problems (experience with Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, systems programming, or browser internals is valuable). On-call experience: you know how to triage issues under pressure, drive them to resolution, and write the postmortem afterward. You understand that reliability is built through good design, not just good monitoring. Awareness of security best practices and compliance requirements (SOC 2 or similar). Cost consciousness: not just making things work, but making them work economically at scale. You've rightsized compute, managed Spot instances, or made similar trade-offs. High drive and bias for action: you thrive with minimal supervision, make decisions quickly, and take ownership of outcomes. When you see a problem, you fix it. This role demands entrepreneurial self-drive and comfort with ambiguity. What You'll Gain Shape a new function As the first Platform Engineer, you'll define how this role evolves and grow into leadership as the team expands. Exceptional growth You grow through a combination of the people you work with, and the experiences you're exposed to. Within that context: Our philosophy is that density of talent is what matters; and so we've focused on keeping the team small but with exceptional individuals. You'll get to collaborate with world-class engineers who previously led 100+ person organizations at top companies, and we expect you'll find the team is beyond any you've worked in before, within big tech (Google, Meta, etc.) or otherwise. This, combined with a focus on learning and growing together, means we're able to learn from each other at rapid pace. Beyond growing your skills through engineering and collaboration, the role involves spending a lot of time with engineering leaders at the fastest growing tech companies and leading firms in the world. We've found this gives us a unique exposure to a huge range of technologies, practices, techniques, codebases, architectures, cultures, learnings - what works, what doesn't.

Full time
A World-Changing Company Meticulous is radically accelerating the pace of software development. We've built the world's first fully autonomous and exhaustive testing platform for frontend codebases - a capability that has never existed before and that we believe is the missing piece in unlocking the full potential of code generation. The demand has been immense. Companies like Dropbox, Wiz, and Notion often pay more for Meticulous than any other software product in their stack, and spontaneously refer us to others. Our team of eleven has achieved this by bringing together some of the most talented engineers from Uber, Google, Dropbox, GitHub, Meta, and Palantir. You can learn more about the company in this video here. The Role The First Platform Engineer Meticulous replays thousands of recorded user sessions against every pull request. This requires infrastructure that is fast, reliable, and cost-efficient at scale. As a Platform Engineer, you'll own the systems that make this possible. You'll design and build resilient infrastructure to support 10x growth, operate it in production, and shape our incident processes for when things break. This is not a maintenance role, you'll define how we build and operate as we scale. You'll have significant autonomy. We're a small team, and you'll be the first dedicated platform engineer. That means you'll make real architectural decisions, not just execute on someone else's design. Core Responsibilities Your work will involve pioneering our approach to platform engineering, from infrastructure and security to developer experience: Architecting Resilient Infrastructure: Design, build, and scale the compute platform that powers Meticulous, managing our cloud infrastructure through Terraform with proper change management. Optimise infrastructure costs, balancing performance and spend as we scale. Own Production Reliability: Improve our monitoring, alerting, incident response, and on-call rotation to ensure that when systems encounter problems, we're able to respond quickly and effectively to resolve incidents. Write Production Code Beyond Infrastructure: This role blends platform engineering with general software development work. Improve Developer Experience: Build internal tooling and automation that improves developer productivity and allows us to accelerate growth Build the playbook: As our first platform engineer, you'll establish infrastructure standards and practices for a growing engineering team, maintaining security and compliance standards across our infrastructure. What We're Looking For Exceptional engineering skills: 3+ years of experience in a software development or platform engineering role. Infrastructure expertise: Experience operating production systems on AWS (or other cloud provider), hands-on with Kubernetes, and enough Terraform to have opinions about how to structure it. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, or similar). Strong technical foundation: Demonstrated ability to write production-quality code and solve hard technical problems (experience with Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, systems programming, or browser internals is valuable). On-call experience: you know how to triage issues under pressure, drive them to resolution, and write the postmortem afterward. You understand that reliability is built through good design, not just good monitoring. Awareness of security best practices and compliance requirements (SOC 2 or similar). Cost consciousness: not just making things work, but making them work economically at scale. You've rightsized compute, managed Spot instances, or made similar trade-offs. High drive and bias for action: you thrive with minimal supervision, make decisions quickly, and take ownership of outcomes. When you see a problem, you fix it. This role demands entrepreneurial self-drive and comfort with ambiguity. What You'll Gain Shape a new function As the first Platform Engineer, you'll define how this role evolves and grow into leadership as the team expands. Exceptional growth You grow through a combination of the people you work with, and the experiences you're exposed to. Within that context: Our philosophy is that density of talent is what matters; and so we've focused on keeping the team small but with exceptional individuals. You'll get to collaborate with world-class engineers who previously led 100+ person organizations at top companies, and we expect you'll find the team is beyond any you've worked in before, within big tech (Google, Meta, etc.) or otherwise. This, combined with a focus on learning and growing together, means we're able to learn from each other at rapid pace. Beyond growing your skills through engineering and collaboration, the role involves spending a lot of time with engineering leaders at the fastest growing tech companies and leading firms in the world. We've found this gives us a unique exposure to a huge range of technologies, practices, techniques, codebases, architectures, cultures, learnings - what works, what doesn't.
