Requirements

Must:
We are looking for a motivated, hands-on engineer with an ownership mindset, strong communication skills, and a collaborative approach. You should have over 5 years of experience in full-stack development, with a strong background in RAG systems and vector databases (such as pgvector, FAISS, Weaviate, Elasticsearch k-NN). A practical understanding of chunking strategies, indexing, precision/recall trade-offs, reranking, and evaluation techniques is essential. Proficiency in Python (FastAPI) and React/Next.js is required, along with solid experience in both SQL and NoSQL databases (e.g., Postgres, DynamoDB). Additionally, you should have exposure to LLMs, embeddings, and vector search APIs, and a strong understanding of data engineering, schema design, ETL, and optimization. Familiarity with cloud services (AWS preferred) and containerized deployments (Docker, ECS) as well as knowledge of secure coding practices and managing sensitive data are also needed. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and leadership skills are vital.

Responsibilities

In this role, you will build and maintain secure, high-performance backend APIs using Python/FastAPI that drive AI features and data access at scale. You will design and improve retrieval pipelines for RAG and vector search, owning schema design, latency, and relevance across vector databases. Your responsibilities will also include connecting and orchestrating large language models (like OpenAI and Bedrock), managing prompts, tools, safeguards, and evaluation. You will ingest, clean, and transform both structured and unstructured data, while designing efficient schemas for search and analytics. Your work will extend to delivering user-friendly, performant UIs using React/Next.js to make AI-powered features clear and accessible. Additionally, you will help shape a modular, scalable platform on AWS, ensuring reliability through testing, CI/CD, observability, and performance optimization. You will collaborate with product and leadership teams, mentor peers, and contribute to the technical direction.

Description


This is an exciting opportunity for an entrepreneurial software engineer who wants to play a key role in shaping the technical vision of our AI-focused start-up. We are backed by a £1.7M pre-seed investment and have a mission to streamline the deal-making process, driven by the founders' firsthand experiences with the challenges of traditional deal processes. Our tech stack encompasses backend, frontend, data, and, crucially, AI, allowing you to work on our product from an early stage and influence its evolution. We encourage innovation and invite you to explore and recommend new technologies, frameworks, and methods for both full-stack and AI development. Join us in this journey!
