🚀 Backend Engineer – AI

📍 London (Onsite)

💰 £90K–£130K + Equity

We’re partnered with a fast-growing AI company building a next-generation video intelligence platform combining computer vision, multimodal AI and real-time data.

They’re growing a small, high-calibre engineering team and looking for a Backend Engineer to take significant ownership over the systems powering the core product.

This is an early-stage environment where you'll work closely with founders and senior engineers, influence architecture and build systems from the ground up.

What You’ll Be Doing 👇

• Build and own scalable backend services and APIs
• Design systems processing real-time video and sensor data
• Ship AI-powered features including multimodal search and agentic workflows
• Build integrations between product, ML pipelines and edge devices
• Solve distributed systems, performance and reliability problems
• Influence architecture and technical direction as the platform scales

What They’re Looking For 🧠

• Strong backend engineering experience with Go, Python or C++
• Experience designing scalable APIs and distributed systems
• Strong systems and software engineering fundamentals
• Comfortable with cloud-native environments
• Startup/scale-up experience or evidence of building things from scratch
• High ownership and strong product instincts

Tech ⚙️

Go • Python • C++ • AWS • Kubernetes • Pulumi • AI / Computer Vision

Why It’s Interesting 💡

• Join a small engineering team with founding-level influence
• Build core systems rather than maintaining mature infrastructure
• Work directly alongside AI, product and infrastructure engineers
• Real-world AI operating at significant scale
• Strong funding, commercial traction and meaningful equity
