Job Description


AI Software Engineer, Firebase, GCP, COR7557

An exceptional opportunity for an AI Software Engineer to join an early stage start-up, building a workflow and intelligence platform powered by agentic AI, multimodal analysis and domain-specific insight. This is a hands-on lead engineering role, with a clear path to CTO as the company scales - an Engineer who wants to lead.


What will I be doing?

Building on Firebase, using Claude API and leading LLMs, the AI Software Engineer will build the end-to-end architecture, security, performance and integration. Working closely with the Head of Product, the AI Software Engineer will take well-defined specs and prototypes (Replit) and turn them into production-quality code. As the company grows, the AI Software Engineer will start building the engineering function - hiring, structuring, mentoring. The expectation is that the AI Software Engineer will grow into the CTO role as the team and product scales.


What do I need?

  • Deep Firebase expertise (Firestore, Cloud Run, Auth, Security Rules), having built production systems, not just prototypes
  • Demonstrable experience of building and deploying complex AI applications using LLMs and ideally, agentic workflows
  • A familiarity with vector databases (pgvector, ChromaDB, Pinecone or similar) is a plus


Benefits include:

  • Flexibility - the team works fully remotely, albeit with frequent meetups to share ideas
  • Stock options
  • Excellent opportunities for progression and development, as part of a rapidly scaling company


So What's Next?
