VP of Engineering — AI

Hands-On | LLMs, RAG, Multi-Agent Systems | High-Growth Tech | On-Site

A high-growth technology company is searching for an exceptional
hands-on VP of Engineering (AI)
to lead and build next-generation AI products. This is not a people-manager or advisory role — it's a
deep technical, founder-style position
for someone who wants to build, ship, and own AI systems end-to-end.

This opportunity is ideal for a
high-calibre engineer
who thrives in fast-paced startup environments, enjoys taking full ownership, and wants to shape the next wave of applied AI.

What You'll Be Building:

You'll architect, build, and ship real AI products including:

  • LLM-driven applications
    (generation, reasoning, orchestration)
  • RAG pipelines, vector search, knowledge systems
  • Multi-agent / agentic AI workflows
  • High-performance backend systems in Python &

You'll be expected to
write code daily (~80%)
, make technical decisions with autonomy, and operate like a founder rather than a traditional VP.

What We're Looking For

Essential

  • Recent startup or scaleup experience
    — ideally 0→1 or 1→10 environments.
  • Top academic background:
  • UK:
    Russell Group / Top 20
    with strong academics (First or similar).
  • Overseas:
    Top 100 global university
    .
  • Exceptional Python engineering
    — deep-level experience required.
  • Strong background in

    and modern backend architecture.
  • Clear, demonstrable AI build examples
    : what you shipped, how you built it, the stack, the architecture, the outcomes.
  • Founder, co-founder, or product-ownership mindset
    — full accountability, small-team execution.
  • Happy working
    5 days per week on-site
    for the immediate future.

Strong Pluses

  • Ex-founder or early founding team member.
  • Experience working in
    lean teams
    , not large enterprise engineering groups.
  • Track record of building products quickly and iterating fast.
