Head of AI Product

Head of AI Product Engineering
London (4/5 days pw on-site)
Up to £210k + equity

A newly formed role with a huge remit to bring the product roadmap to life.
Opportunity to transform cutting-edge AI research into tangible products.
Initial customers consist of AI frontier labs and big tech companies.
I’m looking for a Product Engineering Lead or Head of Product Engineering to join one of the most exciting AI companies in London right now. You’ll enjoy a huge amount of autonomy and the opportunity to not just build a suite of customer-facing AI products but also build out the entire product engineering function.

You'll need to be someone who thinks deeply about the future of AI, ideally with a track record of publicly engaging on topics such as AGI or frontier AI applications. You’ll need to demonstrate both technical insight and thoughtful consideration of the biggest challenges that lie ahead.

Given how important this role is to the success of the business, the requirements are extensive, but feel free to apply even if you don’t hit 100% of the requirements below.

Essential:

Strong engineering background (ideally Python and React) ***
Experience building AI products from scratch.
Background working in high-growth startups/scaleups.
Experience developing products using cutting-edge research or working with highly ambiguous requirements.
Solid background developing a successful go-to-market strategy and defining an AI product roadmap.
Experience building and leading engineering teams.
Thoughtful about the future of AI, with public work on AGI or frontier applications a strong plus.
*** If you’re not from an engineering background, it might not be a deal breaker as there is scope to build out an engineering function around you, but if that is the case, you will need a super impressive background as an AI product leader.

Bonus requirements:

Experience building multi-agent systems.
LLM evals knowledge.
Deep interest in AI alignment and safety.
Have previously founded/co-founded an AI/ML startup and understand the challenges of taking something from 0 to 1.
Experience executing deals worth millions of £££.
If the idea of working closely with the AI frontier labs (Open AI, Anthropic, etc) excites you, and you have a background in building AI/ML products from scratch and taking them to market, then this could be the role you’ve been looking for.

N.B. This role does have a heavy on-site requirement. You will need to be happy with being in the office the majority of the week. There is a degree of flexibility week to week, but it’s certainly not a remote position or one you can get away with 1-2 days a week in the office.
