More:
We are rethinking enterprise integration for developers and AI agents with a semantic layer: describe the data you need, and our platform gets it fast, deterministically, securely, self-repairing, auditable, and scalable. We are already live with banks and financial institutions and are hiring to build the product further. This is a remote-first role in UK-friendly timezones with occasional onsite office days roughly monthly. We offer a salary of GBP 70,000-90,000 plus early-stage equity, along with a budget for conferences and learning and a hardware and tooling budget. We are a mostly async team with a focus on autonomy, collaboration, customer empathy, and open sharing of work.
