You want to work at the cutting edge of human-computer interaction.

We’re pushing the boundaries of AI with next-generation agentic systems that can manage entire procurement workflows. Our mission is to make global manufacturing supply chains robust to an ever-changing world - that’s a $3tn market opportunity.

If that’s not exciting enough - we’re backed by world-class investors including Sequoia Capital, and you’d be working along a super talented team which brings together expertise from OpenAI, Meta, Revolut, NASA and McKinsey (and that’s just the first 11 people!).

• Interact with users to understand their problems

• Are fluent TypeScript/JavaScript (we use React)

• Have experience building products powered by LLMs

• Can communicate clearly with both engineers and business stakeholders

• Thrive in an early-stage, high-ownership environment: prototype today, deploy tomorrow, iterate next week

• Familiarity with supply-chain, procurement, or manufacturing domains

• Comfortable with Python
