About Encord The success of any machine learning system relies on the quality of its training data, but building high quality datasets is too slow and too expensive. Encord is building the infrastructure to solve this problem. Our platform handles the indexing, curation and annotation of huge datasets, so that our customers can efficiently build datasets, train models, and deploy their AI systems. As AI models become more powerful and capable, they can create more economic value by handling increasingly complex tasks but only if they are suitably directed by human feedback. Expertly annotated data is the best way to do this, and Encord is well positioned to take advantage of a market which is growing extremely fast. We are an ambitious team of 100+ working at the frontier of multi modal AI and are backed by $30M in Series B funding from top investors like CRV and Y Combinator. We have big plans ahead and are looking to rapidly expand our Engineering team over the course of this year. Who you are We're looking for great engineers with experience in building complex UIs, to help build out our editor interface. This is the part of our product that lets users visualise and annotate their data. We handle a wide range of data modalities, such as image, video, audio, text, PDFs, medical images, as well as from LIDAR and other sensors in robots and autonomous vehicles. For this role, we are particularly looking for engineers who are excited about technically challenging front end work, such as rendering complex 3D/4D scenes with thousands of objects, combining data from several modalities, all while maintaining high performance in the browser. You'll join us at a crucial stage of accelerated development for the company, product and team. As part of a small, highly collaborative group, you'll be a key driver of progress on a core part of our product. You will operate with high degrees of autonomy and be expected to craft performant, reliable and maintainable solutions to challenging problems - both technical and product. What to expect High performing team: You'll join the small team that has built a product that our customers love. Members of the team are veterans of both established companies and successful startups. While the team is more than a sum of its parts, every member is impressive in their own right. Impact: Your work will have direct and tangible impact for customers and in turn noticeably affect the trajectory of the company. End-to-end ownership: You will be entrusted with end-to-end ownership of your projects. From product, design and architectural decisions, all the way to deployment, monitoring and measuring impact on users. You will work across the stack, covering everything from deployment to styling. We expect each other to take initiative, be proactive in problem solving, and continuously seek improvements. Autonomy and collaboration: You will often work autonomously to take charge of your projects, make decisions, and drive your work forward. But as a lean and high trust team, we remain quick to collaborate and support each other with challenging problems together. Scale and simplicity: You will tackle complex domains and immense scale with simple solutions. You'll leverage your expertise to solve challenging problems in simple ways. About You Are experienced: You have seen a lot and built a lot. You have personally developed and maintained multiple systems from scratch and you know what trade offs are involved in building reliable, performant software at speed. Seek high impact: You want your work to have a tangible outcome for people. You're not satisfied when building products that do not see the light of day or move a number by a tenth of a percent. Are a builder: You enjoy all aspects of building not only software but a complete product and are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You enjoy problem solving and thinking from first principles. You're ready to pick up new skills and build quickly. Are comfortable with uncertainty: You're happy to tackle problems without a predefined clear definition or obvious solution, and are excited to have autonomy to make decisions as you go. Are a team player: You understand that being a member of a high performing team requires two things. You contribute your best work. You also help others contribute their best. You enjoy lending a helping hand when needed and levelling up those around you. Tech stack We are technology agnostic at Encord. We are not looking for you to have experience in all these technologies. As long as you're open to learning, please apply. We currently use Python and Typescript across our codebase. Prior experience is appreciated but not required. Below is a detailed breakdown of all the technologies we use. Backend: Python and Rust Frontend: Typescript and React Kubernetes for deployment GCP for underlying infrastructure We encourage people from all backgrounds, cultures and skill levels to apply. It is okay to not meet all requirements listed as we are looking for individuals who are passionate, eager to learn. What We Offer Competitive salary and equity in a hyper growth business. Strong in person culture: most of our team is in the office 3+ days a week. Room to grow into anything you choose to - a year ago we were 50 people, now we're 100+. We'll be growing insanely fast over the next 24 months and you'll have all the opportunities for growth as you can handle. 25 days annual leave a year + public holidays. Encord offers a unique opportunity to be part of a startup with a clear mission and vision. You will get to explore and build services enterprise AI use cases across many different industry verticals such as healthcare, surveillance, retail, agriculture and many more. Our work is at the cutting edge of computer vision and deep learning, which also includes working on solving unsolved problems within those fields.

Overview Relay is fundamentally reshaping how goods move in an online era. Backed by Europe's largest-ever logistics Series A ($35M), Relay is scaling faster than 99.98% of venture-backed startups. We're assembling the most talent-dense team the logistics industry has ever seen Relay's Mission is to free commerce from friction. Today, high delivery costs act as a hidden tax on e-commerce, quietly shaping what can be sold online and limiting who can participate. We envision a world where more goods move more freely between more people, making the online shopping experience seamless and accessible to everyone. The Team • 90 people, more than half in engineering, product and data • 45+ advanced degrees across computer science, mathematics and operations research • Thousands of data points captured, calculated, analysed and predicted for every single parcel we handle • An intellectually vibrant culture of first principles thinking, tight feedback loops and relentless experimentation The Opportunity Relay's network generates data at every touchpoint. Couriers, routes, parcels, sortation, pricing, demand signals. That data is the raw material for every decision the business makes, and increasingly, for the AI systems that make decisions autonomously. As Head of Data Platform, you will own the infrastructure that turns raw data into usable signal. That means the transformation layer (dbt), the semantic layer (Cube), the pipelines that feed them, and the standards that make the output trustworthy. You will be responsible for data being ready for human analysts, for dashboards, for ML models, and for agents that act without human review. This is a foundational leadership role where you will inherit a high-performing engine. The platform already powers critical decision-making across every department, underpinned by a mature dbt architecture, a semantic layer with rigorous naming conventions, and a workflow where the team has successfully leveraged AI to drive exceptional productivity. Your challenge is to take this 'V1' success and scale it into a global-class platform that remains the single source of truth as our complexity grows. You will lead a team of data and analytics engineers who are deeply technical and take immense pride in their craft. They are highly autonomous and possess a clear vision for what 'good' looks like. What they need is someone who can set strategic direction, prioritise across competing demands, and represent the platform's interests at leadership level. You will work closely with Engineering to shape how upstream systems produce data, not reactively cleaning up after them. This role reports to the Director of Data. What You'll Do Own the data platform roadmap: transformation, semantic layer, orchestration, and the tooling that makes the team fast Lead and grow a team of senior analytics engineers, setting technical standards and creating space for them to do their best work Partner with Engineering to define contracts and expectations for how data is produced at source Set the self-serve strategy: make data accessible to analysts, PMs, and operators without bottlenecking on your team Extend the platform for automated and AI-driven systems: Ensure data is structured for programmatic action, with an uncompromising focus on accuracy and observability so that agents act on a foundation of absolute trust. Own strategy for emerging data types: unstructured data, telematics, real-time signals Represent the platform in leadership discussions, translating technical constraints into business terms Who Will Thrive in This Role? You've led analytics engineering or data platform teams before, and you're comfortable with both the technical depth and the people leadership You're a player-coach: you can review a dbt PR, debug a performance issue, and then context-switch to a prioritisation discussion with a VP You think in systems: how data flows, where quality breaks down, what contracts need to exist between teams You're pragmatic about standards. You know when to enforce and when to flex You're comfortable with strong individual contributors and can create alignment without micromanaging You've worked in environments where data powers not just dashboards but automated systems You communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, and you're not afraid to push back when the platform's integrity is at stake Fast and Focused Hiring Process Talent Acquisition Interview - 30 min Hiring Manager Interview - 45 min Case Study - 1 hour Values & Impact Interview - 1 hour Decision and offer within 48 hours. Our process mirrors our pace of work. Compensation, Benefits & Workplace Generous equity, richer than 99% of European startups, with annual top-ups to share Relay's success. Private health & dental coverage, so comprehensive you'd need to be a partner at a Magic Circle law firm to match it. 25 days of holidays Enhanced parental leave. Hardware of your choice. Extensive perks (gym subsidies, cycle-to-work, Friday office lunch, covered Uber home and dinner for late nights, and more). Located in Shoreditch, our office set-up enables the kind of in-person interactions that drive impact. We work 4 days on-site, with 1 day remote. Who Thrives at Relay? Aim with Precision: You define problems clearly and measure your impact meticulously. Play to Win: You chase bold bets, tackle the hard stuff, and view constraints as fuel, not friction. 1% Better Every Day: You believe that small, consistent improvements lead to exponential growth. You move quickly, deliver results, and learn from every experience. All In, All the Time: You show up and step up. You take ownership from start to finish and do what it takes to deliver when it counts. People-Powered Greatness: You invest in your teammates. You give and receive feedback with care and candour. You build trust through high standards and shared success. Grow the Whole Pie: You seek out win-win solutions for merchants, couriers, and our customers, because when they thrive, so do we. Relay is an equal-opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusion, and fostering a workplace where everyone thrives.
