Software Engineer

Software Engineer – Data & Ai Tools | London (In-Person) | Deep Tech VC | Up to £90K + upside We’re working with a mission-driven venture capital firm scaling their presence in London. Their team backs founders solving the world’s most critical problems – think synthetic biology, clean energy, future food, climate tech, and space. They’re now hiring a Software Engineer to help build internal Ai/data tools that supercharge everything from founder support to deep research. You'll be working in a small team with real ownership, getting exposure to a huge variety of products, ideas, and next-gen science. Day-to-Day:
Design and build internal tools that support deep tech founders on hiring, fundraising, and scaling
Build and maintain data pipelines that pull from multiple sources (APIs, webhooks, research databases)
Own early MVPs of new tools from idea to deployment (you’ll ship fast!)
Work with GPT-style models to extract, summarise, and act on complex scientific data
Collaborate with investors, engineers, and operators to explore new use cases
Tackle product discovery, fast iteration, and data wrangling – all in one
Skills / Experience:
3+ years experience in software engineering (ideally at a fast-paced, product-focused company)
Strong Python and data engineering (ETL, SQL architecture, systems integration)
Experience connecting multiple data sources and services
Familiarity with ML/NLP and how to leverage existing models
Entrepreneurial mindset – you enjoy building and iterating quickly
Bonus: passion for science, Ai, or solving massive global problems
What makes this one different? You’ll be embedded in a world-class VC team, working at the intersection of tech, impact, and science. It’s rare to find a role where you’re building tools inside the firm that directly shape how deep tech startups are created. If you’ve ever thought about joining a start-up or launching your own in future, this is a brilliant place to learn from the inside. If that sounds like you – send over your CV!  Thanks, Chloe
