Company Description

Architect - Seed-stage AI startup backed by Project A

Job Description

Architect is transforming the web from static pages into intelligent, real-time AI agents that adapt instantly to every visitor. As a Systems Engineer, you will own the deep backend infrastructure-from context engines and retrieval pipelines to scaling OLAP data layers-shaping how the internet's next generation of personalized experiences is built and delivered.

Location

London, UK

Why this role is remarkable
  • Join an elite team of 10 in a London HQ, working directly with founders and the CPTO to define a brand-new category of living, breathing web experiences.
  • Benefit from strong financial backing with £3.5M raised from top-tier investors like Project A to disrupt a massive global market.
  • Ownership is absolute here; you aren't just shipping features but architecting the core systems that enable autonomous AI agents to build websites on-the-fly.
What you will do
  • Design and implement high-performance retrieval systems and context engines to power real-time AI agent decision-making.
  • Architect and scale service-oriented backend systems using TypeScript, Postgres, and Temporal.io to handle complex, long-running workflows.
  • Build robust integration layers and OLAP scaling solutions that allow the platform to learn and optimize itself based on live visitor data.
The ideal candidate
  • Deep technical background in systems engineering, distributed systems, or data pipelines with professional mastery of TypeScript backend environments.
  • Experience or a strong interest in AI infrastructure, specifically RAG, LLM evaluations, or workflow orchestration tools like Temporal and Cadence.
  • A founding mentality that values craftsmanship-the "beautiful piece of wood on the back"-and thrives in a fast-paced, 5-day-per-week in-office collaborative culture.
