I’m working with an innovative deep-tech company developing next-generation computing technology designed to overcome some of the biggest performance and efficiency challenges facing modern AI. They’re building a new class of AI acceleration platform that enables complex workloads to run faster, more efficiently, and at significantly lower cost than traditional approaches.

This is an opportunity for a Head of AI to join a highly talented team to develop a breakthrough computing platform with the potential to transform large-scale AI deployment.

What they’re looking for:

  • AI/ML expertise- strong understanding of modern AI workloads, model deployment, inference, and optimisation
  • Technical leadership- proven experience leading and mentoring high-performing engineering teams
  • Software architecture- expertise designing scalable AI platforms, developer tools, and production-grade systems
  • Cross-functional collaboration- comfortable working closely with hardware, systems, and product teams
  • Strong programming skills- deep experience with Python and C/C++ in performance-critical environments
  • ML infrastructure knowledge- familiarity with AI frameworks, compilers, runtimes, and tooling
  • Relevant industry experience- background in AI infrastructure, high-performance computing, semiconductors, systems software, or deep-tech environments
  • Team-building capability- experience hiring, developing, and scaling engineering organisations

Why consider it:

  • Play a key role in bringing a groundbreaking compute platform to market
  • Define the AI software strategy for a rapidly growing engineering organisation
  • Influence product direction, technology decisions, and long-term roadmap planning
  • Join a well-funded company tackling some of the most demanding challenges in AI infrastructure
  • Competitive compensation package including salary, equity, and benefits
  • Solve complex technical problems at the intersection of AI, systems engineering, and next-generation computing
