Company Description

algosoup is a London-based early-stage startup embedding AI-native engineers directly into client teams to ship production software at hackathon speed. Working across fintech, sports, and industrial sectors, algosoup replaces traditional consulting with end-to-end delivery of AI/ML systems, computer vision, and automation tools built using agentic coding workflows.

Job Description

Join a senior founding team in London as an AI-native Forward Deployed Engineer. You will embed within client teams to design and ship production systems—ranging from computer vision to fintech automation—using agentic tools like Claude Code. You will own the entire lifecycle, transforming fuzzy problems into running production code at record velocity.

Location

London, UK

Why this role is remarkable

• Join a small, senior founding team as an early hire where you have direct client contact and ownership from week one.


• Work across a high-variety portfolio including fintech, media, and industrial sectors, solving complex data and automation challenges.


• Operate at the cutting edge of AI-native development, utilizing agentic coding tools as a primary workflow rather than a curiosity.

What You Will Do

• Embed directly inside client teams to identify fuzzy business problems and architect production-ready AI/ML and full-stack solutions.


• Build and ship software at hackathon velocity, moving from initial concept to a working MVP in days using agentic coding tools.


• Own the end-to-end delivery process, including untangling messy data architectures and deploying computer vision or automation systems into production.

The ideal candidate

• Possesses elite software engineering fundamentals and a track record of shipping production code independently or within high-velocity teams.


• Demonstrates exceptional technical caliber through a strong CS degree, success in competitive programming/olympiads, or significant open-source contributions.


• Lives and breathes agentic AI, with a portfolio of projects built using tools like Codex or Claude Code and a hackathon-grade shipping speed.
