Founding Engineer (Data & AI) - London

Open 15d

Summary

The first in-house Lead Data & AI Engineer will design and build a company-wide data platform, integrate business systems, create real-time dashboards, and implement AI-driven automation for Finance, Sales, Ops, and Commercial teams. You’ll shape the tech roadmap and collaborate closely with senior leadership.

OB have recently partnered with an ambitious, fast-growing multi-site business looking for their first in-house Lead Data & AI Engineer to own a company-wide transformation programme.

You’ll build the central data platform, connect business-critical systems, create real-time dashboards and implement AI-powered automation across Finance, Sales, Ops and Commercial teams.

This is a rare opportunity to work directly with senior leadership, shape the technology roadmap and influence every part of the business.

You’ll be working across:

  • Cloud Data Platforms
  • API Integrations

They’re looking for someone who enjoys solving messy operational problems with elegant technical solutions and wants genuine ownership rather than being one engineer in a team of fifty.

If you’ve built modern data platforms, delivered production AI solutions and enjoy working at the intersection of software engineering, data and automation, I’d love to chat.
