About the role

You are the person who builds the thing, ships it, and sees it change how a major VC firm operates in real time. This is a rare seat. A well-capitalized AI venture fund with a genuinely unique business model is building out its engineering function, and you are on the ground floor of that. There is serious committed capital behind this, which means the resources are real and the ambition matches them. You are not maintaining legacy systems or waiting for approvals. You are embedded with clients, understanding what they actually need, and then building it. Production AI systems, shipped fast, with real users and real stakes. That is your day to day. The work sits at the intersection of engineering and client partnership. You are in conversations with sophisticated investors and operators, translating complex requirements into working software. You understand their world, the data sources they rely on, platforms like Pitchbook, iLevel, Affinity, Dealcloud, and you build tools that plug into that ecosystem and make it smarter. This would be a strong next move if you are a couple of roles into your career and ready to own something properly. You are done being one of twenty engineers on a feature. You want to see your name on the work. You have shipped production AI systems before. You are comfortable in client-facing environments and you do not need to be handed a spec. You figure it out, build it, and iterate. The package reflects the seriousness of the role. Base sits between $180,000 and $250,000, with a bonus, equity, and genuine ownership in what you are building. Ready to build something that actually matters? Get in touch. No up-to-date CV required.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
