Our Client - AI Start-up

Developa are excited to represent these top tier founders who are very experienced ex-operators from a world class brand/tech company. Both founders are technical with extensive product experience and we're building their founding team. LLMs are great, but don't do everything. For example, an LLM can be given a set of tools to choose from based on a users prompt, giving it hundreds of options, which is available in enterprise environments, but results in a loss of accuracy, and also a user prompt may have a lot of edge cases that need handling and engineers need it simpler to handle these cases. This company are on a mission to help unlock agentic capabilities for AI applications in companies. They're ensuring the tool calling layer evolves to ensure that it can handle a variety of authentication mechanisms, can offer a wide library of tools, and personalise the tools it provides to the LLMs. They make it straightforward for engineers to add secure and accurate tool calling to their AI deployments. This early stage start-up has received very recent multi-million pound funding by renowned VCs.

Software Engineer Role

We're hiring a Software Engineer (Backend focussed) who is excited about joining a very high calibre technical Founding Team. You'll be joining a small team including AI Engineers (ML). This is a hands-on position.

You'll be interested in LLMs (but no previous LLM experience required) and care about developer experience.
You’ll need to be ‘product minded’ in nature, able to work with a lot of autonomy, but also in ambiguity as we are early stage working to hypotheses and delivering an MVP.
The stack is Python, Django, React, Next.js and Google Cloud.

Required Skills

Experience Backend Engineer with Python
Experience with cloud technologies (ideally GCP)
Some full-stack experience can be helpful (but this is a backend focussed role however)
Product-minded and cares about the 'why' not just the 'what'
Confident working in a small team, building MVPs, and then to production ready states
