Python is preferred, but the exact stack isn't the deciding factor.• Is genuinely AI-native in how they engineer, going beyond basic code completion and using AI to improve how they build, test, evaluate and ship software.£80k-£120k + equity, with only 1 day per week in their central London office.If you're a Senior Full-Stack Engineer who wants to stay hands-on, work on genuinely interesting AI engineering problems and have meaningful influence while the company is still early, I'd love to hear from you.🚀 Senior Full-Stack Engineer | AI | £80k-£120k + Equity | Senior Software Engineer |
