Scope

Base pay rangeCompensation details vary by experience; actual pay will be discussed with your recruiter.

OverviewWe’re transforming an industry that still relies on pen and paper. Inspections are critical to global safety, yet technology behind them often functions on manual processes. Our product initially automates inspection report writing, and we see it as a new way to collect and analyse data from the field. Since launching this year, we’ve started working with some of the largest Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) companies globally, increasing inspection throughput and giving inspectors their nights and weekends back. We’ve raised an oversubscribed pre-seed round totalling $4M from tier-one investors. We’re on-track with a multi-million dollar run-rate and plan to raise our Series A in 6 months.

About This RoleWe’re looking for an

AI Product Engineer

to ship the next generation of inspection products. You’ll own fullstack AI-native features end to end — from quick spikes to production rollouts — and get valuable tools into inspectors’ hands fast. You’ll turn decades of industrial knowledge and data into usable software: document extraction, technical drawing understanding, and AI-powered reporting experiences. This role involves spending time on chemical plants, refineries, and more to closely understand user experiences. You’ll integrate pragmatic, best-in-class models with reliable backend systems to deliver fast, trustworthy workflows. You might finetune small models, but we focus on speed of iteration, not long development cycles. This role concentrates on product delivery and user impact over novel research, applying AI where it creates clear value.

What You’ll Do

Build and ship AI-powered features end to end, from spike to production, across backend and frontend where needed.

Implement and integrate leading AI models (especially LLMs) to solve real customer problems, balancing accuracy, speed, and cost.

Develop backend systems and processing engines (primarily Python; TypeScript a bonus) that power reporting and data extraction at scale and with reliability.

Work closely with users and internal stakeholders to refine problems, iterate quickly, and improve time-to-value for inspectors and TIC partners.

Own the quality of what you ship — sensible defaults, robust error handling, and basic observability to guide iteration.

Tackle unique challenges in industrial AI, such as enabling software to understand and process technical drawings and decades of heterogeneous documents.

Contribute to a scalable, AI-driven reporting layer that transforms how industrial data is collected, processed, and used.

Who You Are

You’ve shipped AI products end to end and care about user value, not just models.

Full-stack with a backend lean: comfortable in Python, with TypeScript a plus; able to stitch together services, APIs, and simple UIs to deliver outcomes.

You bias toward LLMs when they fit, understand classical ML techniques when they’re better, and choose pragmatically based on the problem.

Product-minded: you think through user experience and make tradeoffs that improve adoption and speed.

You act with high agency and can figure out the 20% that will drive 80% of the results.

You’re comfortable rapidly spiking ideas, validating them with users, and hardening the winners into maintainable, robust features.

You’ve worked on AI products and can speak to impact: what you shipped, how users used it, and what moved.
