Founding AI Infrastructure Engineer

Robotics is about to have its ChatGPT moment.

We're building a new kind of AI system that allows robots to learn complex tasks from a single demonstration. No months of training data collection. No painstaking programming. Show the robot once and it gets to work.

Born out of years of research at Imperial College London and backed by one of the largest robotics seed rounds in the UK, we're assembling a small, world class team to tackle some of the hardest engineering problems in AI.

We're looking for an exceptional engineer to own the infrastructure powering our model training. This isn't traditional DevOps. It isn't conventional MLOps. It's a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of machine learning, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure and robotics.

What you'll do

• Design and own our large scale AI training infrastructure.
• Scale distributed model training across hundreds of GPUs and multiple cloud environments.
• Optimise training throughput, GPU utilisation and infrastructure costs.
• Build the systems that transform vast amounts of simulation data into production ready models.
• Develop tooling and frameworks that accelerate research and experimentation.
• Work directly with our founders and research team to solve bottlenecks at the frontier of robotics.
• Shape the architecture, culture and technical direction of the company from day one.

What we're looking for

• Large scale distributed training.
• PyTorch and modern deep learning frameworks.
• Kubernetes, Slurm or GPU orchestration platforms.
• AWS and specialist GPU cloud providers.
• High performance computing and distributed systems.
• Training optimisation, memory management and networking.
• MLOps tooling, CI/CD and experimentation frameworks.
• Python and production grade software engineering.
• Computer vision, multimodal AI or transformer architectures.

Bonus points if you've worked on

• Research infrastructure.
• Simulation systems.
• Robotics or embodied AI.

Who you are

• You're deeply technical and happiest when solving difficult engineering problems.
• You thrive in small, ambitious teams.
• You enjoy building from scratch rather than maintaining legacy systems.
• You can move comfortably between research and production.
• You care about performance, elegance and impact.
• You want ownership, autonomy and the opportunity to shape something significant.
• Join one of Europe's most exciting AI and robotics startups.
• Work alongside leading researchers from Imperial College London.
• Meaningful equity and genuine founding team influence.
• Solve problems that sit at the cutting edge of AI infrastructure.
• Build technology with the potential to redefine how humans interact with machines.

We're intentionally keeping the team small, talent dense and highly collaborative. If you want to spend your days solving genuinely difficult problems with exceptional people, we'd love to hear from you.
