Head of Technology London, UK Hybrid Senior Leadership About EmpowerRD R&D tax credits are a powerful but underused engine for innovation, and navigating them shouldn't require an army of consultants and months of back-and-forth. At EmpowerRD, we're changing that. We build software that makes claiming R&D tax relief transparent and genuinely empowering for the businesses and advisors who rely on us, with a vision to help every innovative company unlock the funding they deserve. Living by that mission has been the secret to our growth, and now we're at a pivotal moment in our journey. Every move we make has a direct impact on our customers, our product, and our collective success. We need people who take pride in understanding what drives outcomes, challenge the way things are done (respectfully), and always aim high. We can't say we've got this whole thing figured out, and frankly, that's half the fun. What we can say is that we're a driven, progressive, and, importantly, a kind team, all committed to building the future of R&D tax relief together. About the role We're looking for a Head of Technology to join EmpowerRD's senior leadership team at a pivotal moment in our growth.

Our company virtues are: Be a truth seeker, Build Bridges, Empower Growth, Start and keep going, Foster Well-Being. We build strong cross-functional relationships, stay close to strategic priorities, and bring decisions grounded in data and evidence.

Principal AI Engineer (London) CBRE is building the future of AI driven data governance and analytics at enterprise scale. We're looking for a Principal AI Engineer to lead the charge - someone who can architect solutions, ship code, and use AI to move fast. This is a new, high impact individual contributor role reporting directly to the Senior Director of Data Governance and Engineering. You'll have a clear path to building and leading a team as we scale - embedded in a 20 person governance and engineering team, working at the intersection of AI/ML, data quality, and master data management. Why This Role Matters at CBRE AI is not a future capability at CBRE - it's the next phase of how we operate at scale. Our data estate spans commercial real estate transactions, property assets, and client relationships across the globe, and the volume and complexity of that data demands intelligence, not just automation. This Principal Engineer will be the first to architect and ship AI native solutions across our governance and MDM programs - defining how LLMs, agents, and ML models become embedded in how CBRE manages and trusts its data. Your First Mission (Months 1-6) Build a proof of concept using LLMs to automate data stewardship in our Reltio MDM platform - specifically, AI driven entity matching and merging. Prove that LLMs can make our data cleaner, faster, and smarter. From there, you'll help shape how CBRE adopts AI across data governance, analytics, and beyond - moving from proof of concept to production, and from one use case to many. What you will be doing: AI/ML Solution Architecture Architect and implement AI/ML solutions that drive data quality, governance, and analytics at scale across CBRE's enterprise data estate. Integrate LLMs via our internal Ellis AI platform into data workflows - entity matching, classification, quality scoring, and anomaly detection. Design agent frameworks and RAG pipelines that connect CBRE's proprietary data assets to LLM capabilities in a governed, production ready way. Evaluate emerging AI capabilities and translate them into prioritised, implementable solutions aligned to CBRE's governance and data strategy. Platform Engineering & Delivery Build production systems using Python, AWS, Snowflake, and Reltio APIs - you architect and you ship. Use AI to write code - we expect you to move fast with modern AI assisted development tooling and set the standard for the team. Embed AI capabilities into existing data pipelines and governance workflows, ensuring solutions are scalable, observable, and maintainable in production. Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement Collaborate cross functionally with data engineers, governance teams, DQ engineers, and business stakeholders to identify and prioritise AI use cases. Partner with the Collibra and SODA engineering leads to identify where AI can accelerate metadata enrichment, DQ automation, and stewardship workflows. Evangelise AI adoption across the data team - teach, mentor, and influence how CBRE thinks about AI and data at every level of the organization. What You Bring Must Haves Experience building production data and engineering systems with demonstrable delivery at enterprise scale. Deep hands on experience with LLMs - not just using APIs, but architecting solutions: prompting strategies, RAG, fine tuning, and agent frameworks. Expert level Python and modern ML/AI frameworks. AWS experience - you know how to build, deploy, and scale on cloud infrastructure. Track record of shipping AI products that solve real business problems - not just prototypes. Architect + implementer mindset - you design elegant systems and roll up your sleeves to build them. Nice to Haves Experience with Master Data Management (MDM) or Reltio specifically. Snowflake expertise - data modelling, Snowpark, or Cortex ML. Prior work in commercial real estate or large enterprise data environments. Familiarity with Collibra or SODA - understanding how AI augments governance and DQ platforms. Our Stack AI Platform - internal LLM platform with OpenAI, Gemini, and more, Claude Cloud - AWS Data Warehouse - Snowflake MDM - Reltio Data Governance - Collibra DQ Platform - SODA Integration - SnapLogic Languages - Python (primary), SQL Applicant AI Use Disclosure We value human interaction to understand each candidate's unique experience, skills and aspirations. We do not use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to make hiring decisions, and we ask that candidates disclose any use of AI in the application and interview process. We welcome all applicants.

Right now, who gets funded depends on who you happen to know. If you're in Silicon Valley with the right warm intros, you raise. If you're a brilliant founder in Lagos, Karachi, Bogotá or anywhere outside the default networks, you spend months in cold email purgatory, regardless of how good your company or non-profit is. IRIS is rebuilding that. She's a personal AI fundraising agent for the most exceptional founders. She gets to know each founder, their stage and what they're raising, then makes the warm introductions that move their round forward. IRIS works both sides of that connection. For investors, she's signal: a stream of qualified, pre-vetted founders matched to their real thesis, with the warm path already mapped, and far less noise than their inbox. The founders get access; the investors get the right founders in front of them. Underneath, IRIS is a relationship intelligence layer, part network operating system, part CRM, part autonomous agent, that learns from every interaction and gets sharper the more the network uses her. She lives where founders and investors already work, across email, WhatsApp, phone and web. We're starting with women founders in Europe, and building toward every founder, in every market, who has been raising on the wrong side of the network. We're looking for a Founding CTO to lead the technical build of IRIS, shape product and architecture from day one, and grow the engineering team as the company scales. Tasks Translate real-world network behaviour into structured data and intelligent, AI-driven workflows Own the product architecture from MVP to scale across email, WhatsApp, phone and web, on a secure, serverless cloud foundation Design AI systems with a strong focus on safety, fairness, privacy and transparency, ensuring recommendations and matching logic are responsible, explainable and free from harmful bias. Implement best practices for AI governance, model evaluation and responsible data usage as the platform scales Understand user requirements and work with the CEO to build the technical strategy and roadmap Be hands on and build and lead the engineering team as the company grows Requirements Strong AI engineering background, with hands-on experience building and scaling AI or data-driven products in production Experience building trustworthy AI products, including model evaluation, bias mitigation, privacy-preserving systems and safe deployment practices Deep technical familiarity with modern cloud and serverless infrastructure Ability to move fast from zero to one with limited resources Product-minded engineer who understands user behaviour and real-world workflows (you prioritise frictionless data capture over clunky UI layers) Comfortable with ambiguity and shaping technical directionExperience in the venture ecosystem is a strong advantage Willing to work close to European hours Benefits Build a product that meaningfully changes who gets funded Shape a new category of AI product, one that lives where people already work and acts on their behalf, not behind another chat window Founding equity, high ownership, real impact Work directly with a founder who has built and raised VC capital before (Cellcraft, Series A in progress) Shape the technical and ethical foundations of the product from day one The way capital gets allocated today is inefficient and unfair. The best founders don't always get funded; the best-connected ones do. That's a routing failure, and it has real consequences for which companies get built and which problems get solved. IRIS is an attempt to fix it at the infrastructure level. We're opening access to networks that were closed, routing capital toward fit and merit rather than proximity, and moving founders forward with the coaching and preparation they need to actually succeed once they get the meeting. Done right, this changes who gets funded, and that changes what gets built.

Right now, who gets funded depends on who you happen to know. If you're in Silicon Valley with the right warm intros, you raise. If you're a brilliant founder in Lagos, Karachi, Bogotá or anywhere outside the default networks, you spend months in cold email purgatory, regardless of how good your company or non-profit is. IRIS is rebuilding that. She's a personal AI fundraising agent for the most exceptional founders. She gets to know each founder, their stage and what they're raising, then makes the warm introductions that move their round forward. IRIS works both sides of that connection. For investors, she's signal: a stream of qualified, pre-vetted founders matched to their real thesis, with the warm path already mapped, and far less noise than their inbox. The founders get access; the investors get the right founders in front of them. Underneath, IRIS is a relationship intelligence layer, part network operating system, part CRM, part autonomous agent, that learns from every interaction and gets sharper the more the network uses her. She lives where founders and investors already work, across email, WhatsApp, phone and web. We're starting with women founders in Europe, and building toward every founder, in every market, who has been raising on the wrong side of the network.
