AI Engineer in Residence

Role Overview

• Build and ship the first versions of tools that help us source deals, qualify them faster, and support our portfolio companies at scale.
• Design agentic workflows (n8n, Claude, LLM APIs, whatever gets the job done) that remove the repetitive work from venture investing.
• Sit inside the investment team, see how a fund actually operates, and decide for yourself where AI can move the needle most.
• Demo what you've built to the whole team, get feedback fast, and iterate.
• Finish the summer with a portfolio of deployed, production tools used by professional investors, not a toy project.

Requirements

• A student or recent graduate who is AI-native: you're obsessed with the latest models, agents and tools, and you've been building with them for fun.
• You ship. You can point us to projects, automations or products you've built, ideally with users beyond yourself. A GitHub, a demo video or a live link beats a CV.
• You think like a founder: high ownership, high energy, low ego. You'd rather build a scrappy v1 this week than a perfect spec next month.
• You're curious about venture. You don't need VC experience, but you should be excited to learn how funds find, pick and support startups.
• You're available for 2-3 months over summer 2026, full-time preferred and minimum 3 days a week, and can work from our Farringdon office in London regularly.
• You have the right to work in the UK. Current students and recent graduates are both welcome to apply.

Benefits

• A competitive salary, in line with market standards for the programme.
• Real ownership: your tools go into production and your name goes on them.
• Direct access to the investment team and the chance to learn the venture business from the inside, including sitting in on pitches and investment discussions.
• £50 per month wellness credits through Heka, plus team socials and a front-row seat to the European startup ecosystem.
• A strong reference and a network of founders and investors, whatever you do next.
• A genuine path forward: we're looking to shape a full-time engineering role that will be core to our fourth fund, launching in 2027. Top performers from this programme will be considered as part of that role.
