About the Role


A mission-driven, early-stage startup is looking for anAI Tech Leadto join its growing team. This is a hands-on leadership role where you’ll help shape a cutting-edge AI platform designed to drive real-world behaviour change and improve human performance and wellbeing.


Backed by strong funding, this product-focused team of senior engineers operates in a low-ego, high-collaboration culture. The platform's first focus is on employee wellbeing in high-stress industries—and the mission is just getting started.


You’ll lead a cross-functional team of backend and machine learning engineers, guiding architecture, mentoring team members, and staying close to the code. This is a rare opportunity to build both product and team in a fast-moving environment with purpose at its core.


What You’ll Do

  • Lead and mentor a senior engineering team working across backend, ML, and infrastructure.
  • Play key role in design, development, and deployment AI applications using LLM's, Agentic framework, and other related technologies
  • Own technical direction for core systems, focusing on scalability, performance, and reliability.
  • Write clean, maintainable code and contribute actively to the codebase.
  • Define and uphold engineering best practices (code quality, CI/CD, observability, etc.).
  • Collaborate closely with the CTO and product team to align technical delivery with strategic goals.
  • Continuously improve team operations, development workflows, and developer experience.
  • Play a key role in hiring and onboarding as the team grows.


What We’re Looking For

  • 7+ years of commercial software engineering experience with a strong backend focus.
  • Proven ability to lead engineering projects and/or teams.
  • Experience with LangGraph, and a good understanding of agentic patterns (e.g. self-reflection, prompt/response-optimisation, multi-modal guardrails, cross-reflection, role-based cooperation)
  • Hands-on experience in launching GenAI products, including agentic systems and multi-agent frameworks, driving real-world AI applications from concept to deployment.
  • Experience in fast-paced or startup environments.
  • BSc in Computer Science, Data Science, or related technical discipline.
  • Strong communication skills and a bias toward action.


Technologies You’ll Work With

Experience in some or most of the following:


  • Languages/Frameworks:Python, FastAPI, Pydantic, Streamlit (for internal tools)
  • AI:AgenticFlows, GenAI, LLMs, and multimodal systems
  • Architecture:Microservices, RESTful APIs, async programming
  • Infrastructure:Docker, Terraform, GitHub Actions, GCP (preferred)
  • Datastores:MongoDB, Redis
  • Monitoring/Tooling:Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry


The role is remote with occasional travel

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
