System Engineer

SYSTEMS ENGINEER | AI-DRIVEN STARTUP | LONDON

What if you could build businesses that scale without scaling headcount?

We’re working with an ambitious, fast-growing startup that is rethinking how businesses operate by combining AI, automation and software to run traditionally inefficient companies more effectively.

Following significant early growth, they’re looking for a Systems Engineer to help build the technical foundations behind their next stage.

WHAT YOU’LL BE BUILDING

• AI agents that automate real-world business workflows, from order processing and fulfilment to invoicing and reconciliation.
• Integrations across legacy ERPs, warehouse management systems, carrier APIs, marketplaces and EDI feeds.
• Intelligent systems for inventory, purchasing, replenishment, pricing and demand planning.
• Reliable agentic workflows that execute real transactions, with robust monitoring, evaluation and human escalation.
• Reusable infrastructure that makes launching and scaling new business units faster and more efficient.

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR

• A hands-on engineer who has built and deployed production AI agents or automated complex workflows.
• Strong engineering fundamentals across Python or TypeScript, APIs, Postgres and event-driven systems.
• Experience integrating business-critical systems, ERP, CRM, inventory, payments, fulfilment or similar.
• Someone who can navigate messy legacy systems and turn manual processes into reliable software.
• High ownership, commercial curiosity and a genuine bias towards action.

Pedigree isn’t the priority. They care about how quickly you learn, what you’ve built and your ability to solve difficult problems with minimal hand-holding.

WHY CONSIDER IT?

• Join an ambitious, founder-led team at an early stage.
• Take ownership of systems that directly impact how real businesses operate.
• Work across AI, software engineering, automation and business operations.
• Help shape the technical foundations of a model designed to scale across multiple businesses.
• Meaningful equity and the opportunity to have an outsized impact.
• £180K+, Bonus, Equity
