What you'll do

  • Contribute across the full software stack to deliver agent-driven user journeys to production, owning implementation quality from architecture to release
  • Design and build features driven by frontier models, with prompting, context, tools, and model reasoning to generate visual and audio experiences
  • Apply software engineering and system design principles to produce solutions that are observable, maintainable, scalable, and production ready
  • Validate solutions against functional requirements using evals and tracing to ensure content and experience quality is measured and monitored through metrics measured in CI and production
  • Help drive product definition: ideate, explore, and prototype with stakeholders, then cut down possible options to arrive at deliverable, but well-rounded solutions
  • Help conceive and ship features & MVP iterations early in the product definition phase that directly advance high-visibility organizational goals
  • Partner with product owners to identify what technology makes possible, and what makes implementing a given product or feature hard; bring that perspective into project scoping and prioritization
  • Facilitate the growth and mentorship of a core team of engineers, and be a source of technical leadership and subject matter expertise on multimodal AI

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of professional programming experience in backend and application environments
  • 2+ years of experience directly managing engineers
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python or Typescript/Javascript; strong working knowledge of modern backend & web application frameworks like FastAPI, Node, React, or Rails
  • Hands-on experience building AI and agent-powered features using frontier models from OpenAI, Google, and others beyond text generation use cases to include multimodal (image, audio) generation
  • Direct experience refining product requirements in collaboration with a product owner
  • Regular use of coding agent harnesses like Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, or Pi as part of the daily software development workflow
  • BS/BA degree in related field
  • Based in London or surrounding areas and able to work on-site 1-2 days a week in the London office

Nice to have

  • Direct experience building interactive realtime multimodal agents acting over long sessions & context windows
  • Direct experience applying multimodal (audio, image) AI in content production or generation workflows
  • Experience with dynamic video content generation fusing motion graphics and audio
