This is a rare opportunity to join one of Europe's most well-backed AI product teams - working across a portfolio of high-growth B2B SaaS companies and tasked with building transformative AI products from the ground up.
You won't be building demos. You won't be a consultant. You'll be an AI product engineer with founding-level ownership, building real products for real customers, at real scale - with the resources and infrastructure of an established business already behind you.
Products are conceived, built, and shipped in focused sprints inside companies that already have customers, go-to-market, and infrastructure in place.
That means no typical startup risk
The team is small, the bar is high, and the impact is immediate. If that sounds like your environment, read on.

What They're Looking For A sharp, full-stack engineer who's genuinely excited about AI - not just as a tool, but as a product. Someone with the mindset of a founding engineer: you don't wait for direction, you create it. You thrive in ambiguity, ship fast, and care deeply about what you build and who it's built for.
If you meet the above requirements and want to build AI products that create real-world impact at scale, get in touch for a fast response.
