π β¬100M Revenue | Over Half a Million Customers | AI-First Scale-Up
What if you could build AI systems that directly influence the revenue, operations and future direction of a β¬100M business?
I'm working with one of Europe's most ambitious technology companies as they rebuild their entire platform from the ground up using AI. This isn't a business experimenting with AI. AI is becoming the operating system of the company.
From dynamic pricing and procurement automation to intelligent content generation and customer journey optimisation, every core system is being redesigned for an agentic future.
They're now looking for a Founding AI Engineer to work directly alongside the executive leadership team, helping define what gets built next and owning the commercial outcomes that follow.
This is a rare opportunity for a builder who combines exceptional technical ability with founder-level commercial instinct.
π§ What the successful Founding AI Engineer will need:
β’ Proven experience building and shipping production AI systems with measurable business impact.
β’ Deep expertise across LLMs, agentic workflows, AI orchestration frameworks and modern AI infrastructure..
β’ A track record of identifying opportunities independently and turning them into working products.
β’ Strong commercial awareness and the ability to evaluate business impact before writing code.
β’ Experience within startups, scale-ups, or founder environments where ownership and autonomy were expected.
β’ An obsession with building and solving problems rather than simply implementing requirements.
π What's on offer for the successful Founding AI Engineer:
β’ β¬150k β β¬220k base salary.
β’ Uncapped performance bonus directly linked to the commercial impact you create.
β’ 0.5% β 1.5% equity in a profitable business already generating β¬100M in annual revenue.
β’ Direct access to senior leadership and complete ownership from day one.
β’ The opportunity to shape the AI strategy and technical direction of a company serving over half a million customers across 14 international markets.
β’ High-impact problems spanning agentic procurement, pricing optimisation, AI-powered customer journeys, content infrastructure and internal automation.
β’ A team of 120+ people across 20+ nationalities building at exceptional speed.
β’ Daily healthy meals, gym membership benefits and regular company events.
This isn't a traditional AI Engineering role.
It's an opportunity for a founder-minded builder to operate at scale, solve commercially significant problems and help create one of Europe's most ambitious AI-first businesses.
