The moment Consulting is being agentified. The $300B insights industry is about to be rebuilt by AI agents that don't just report what happened — they tell brands what to do next and execute it. Most firms are still figuring out how to use ChatGPT for email. We've already built the agents. Hotspex has spent 25 years measuring what the world's biggest brands make people feel — over 1M interviews, 800+ brands, 33 countries, validated at P&G, Coca-Cola, Unilever, RBC, TELUS. Now we're weaponizing that dataset with AI. Every methodology we've built is becoming an autonomous agent. Every deliverable is becoming a living product. Every client interaction is becoming an intelligent system. This is the Agentification of Consulting — and we're riding the front of the wave. We need a Full Stack Engineer in Toronto who wants to build what comes next. What you'll build You won't be maintaining someone else's codebase. You'll ship enterprise-grade AI products to Fortune 100 CMOs — and you'll see your work in boardrooms within weeks, not quarters. → Agent-powered brand intelligence platforms — autonomous systems that ingest research data, generate strategic recommendations, and deliver them directly to the world's largest advertisers → Top of Model™ — our proprietary platform measuring how brands rank inside ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Perplexity. We're defining an entirely new category of brand measurement for the AI era → BrandSpace — a self-serve SaaS platform putting 25 years of enterprise-grade emotional brand science into the hands of every marketer → MCP server integrations and agentic tool chains — exposing our Human Motivation Framework as API-accessible AI tools that plug into Claude, Adobe, and enterprise martech stacks → Client-facing interactive products — brand simulators, revenue growth models, and AI-powered proposal systems that win seven-figure engagements Who you are You're a builder, not a ticket-taker. You can go from a rough CEO brief on Monday to a shipped product by Friday. Specifically: • Full-stack fluency — React, Node, Python, modern deployment (Vercel/Netlify, Supabase, serverless). You own the whole surface from UI to infrastructure, • AI-native — you've built with Anthropic and OpenAI APIs, you understand tool use, embeddings, MCP, and agentic workflows. You don't just prompt — you architect systems around LLMs, • Claude Code proficiency is essential — we build with it daily and we'll want to see examples of what you've shipped with it, • Genuinely interested in marketing and brand strategy — you want to understand why a campaign moves a brand, not just render the dashboard. The best code at Hotspex is written by people who understand the business problem, • Product-minded — you think in user outcomes, not tickets. You push back on bad specs and propose better solutions, • High ownership, low ego — direct access to the CEO, the IP, and the clients means you'll have outsized impact and outsized accountability Why this role is rare 💰 Stock options — you'll have equity upside in a company that's been profitable for 25 years and is now scaling its AI product suite into a category-defining SaaS business 🏢 Toronto-based, on-site — we believe the best products get built by people in the same room solving hard problems together. Being in Toronto is key — this is a hands-on, high-trust, high-speed environment 🚀 Fortune 100 clients from day one — your code ships to RBC, global CPG, major broadcasters, and government. Not a pre-revenue pitch deck 🤖 AI isn't a feature — it's the entire product thesis — every tool, methodology, and deliverable at Hotspex is being agentified. You'll be at the centre of that transformation 📐 25 years of proprietary IP — you're not starting from zero. You're building on top of the Human Motivation Framework — 177 personality attributes, 96 emotions, 8 motivational zones — a dataset most AI startups would kill for 🎯 No four-layer product org — you'll work directly with the CEO, strategists, and clients. Your decisions ship Qualifications • Proficient in front-end development: HTML, CSS, and modern JavaScript frameworks (React preferred), • Skilled in back-end development: server-side languages, database management, API design, • Proven full-stack delivery — end-to-end ownership from architecture to deployment, • Strong experience with Claude Code — show us what you've built with it, • Familiarity with cloud platforms, DevOps tooling, and CI/CD pipelines, • Experience with agile workflows and Git-based version control, • Excellent problem-solving instincts with a bias toward performance and scalability, • Strong communication skills — you'll present to clients, not just commit to repos, • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field preferred — but shipped work matters more than credentials How to apply Send a short note and your best work to shane.skillen@hotspex.com — GitHub repos, shipped products, side projects, agent builds. If you've built something AI-powered that actually works in production, lead with that. We're 25 years old and moving faster than any startup. Come build the next chapter. • hotspex.com

Cakewalk is building Access Management for the age of AI agents. Every company runs on dozens of apps, hundreds of users, and a growing number of AI agents. Keeping track of who has access to what is a nightmare. We're fixing that. Cakewalk automates access management for humans and AI agents alike: who has access to what, when, and why. Built by a team that's done it before at McKinsey, Klarna, Pleo, Google, and Facebook. Backed by $10.5M from Kindred, Vertex, Fly, and Seedcamp. We're just getting started. What you'll do • Build the GTM machine/ Automate the repeatable bits — onboarding flows, internal tooling, customer-facing utilities.

If it connects, you make it work., • Think commercially/ You understand that every integration, trial, and ticket has revenue attached. You prioritise accordingly and help the team close., • Be the bridge/ Translate between product, sales, and customers. Surface patterns from the field, ship lightweight fixes, and influence the roadmap with real evidence., • Figure it out/ This is a brand new role. No GTM Engineering team before you. No inherited playbook. Just real customers, a strong product, and the freedom to build. In a nutshell/ Own the full stack of technical GTM — integrations, trials, customer and prospect calls, support, automation. Where sales meets CS meets product, you're it. Who you are • 2–3+ years in a hands-on technical-meets-customer role — Solutions Engineer, FDE, Sales Engineer, Implementation Engineer, or similar, • Comfortable with APIs, SSO/SCIM, scripting, and reading docs faster than most read email, • You've shipped integrations end-to-end and stood next to customers when they went live, • Commercial instinct — you get that GTM work moves revenue, and you act like it, • AI-native & automation-first: you reach for code before headcount, • You explain technical things clearly to non-technical buyers — and vice versa, • You don't need a playbook. You write it. What we offer • £55k - £65k base + 20% OTE and meaningful equity, • First GTM Engineering hire at a category-defining company, • A direct path to building and leading your own function, • 3 days/week in our London office, 2 days flexible, • High ownership, low ego Apply or reach out directly.

The problems are hard, the standards are high, and the impact is immediate. This is an environment built by engineers for engineers. You will have real ownership, real influence on architecture and direction, and the opportunity to rebuild and redesign systems end to end rather than maintaining legacy code. What you will be working on • Designing and building high performance C++ systems that sit directly in the live trading path, • Optimising latency, throughput, and determinism across highly concurrent systems, • Working on market data capture, normalisation, and internal distribution at scale, • Building and evolving simulation and backtesting infrastructure used by researchers and traders, • Going deep on memory behaviour, data structures, and concurrency models, • Collaborating closely with traders and researchers on strategy and execution plumbing What we are looking for • 2 plus years of experience building performance critical systems in C++, • Strong background in performance optimisation across CPU, memory, and network boundaries, • Experience with low latency systems, distributed systems, or high throughput pipelines, • GPU or accelerator experience is a strong plus, • Comfortable working close to the metal and reasoning about systems behaviour, • A collaborative, low ego approach with the ability to own problems end to end, • Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with senior technical stakeholders Why this is different • Small, elite team with very high technical bar, • Real ownership and influence over core systems and architecture, • Direct line of sight between your work and live trading outcomes, • Exposure to complex, interesting problems that do not exist in most engineering roles, • Exceptional compensation and access to some of the strongest engineers in the industry If you are excited by performance, systems engineering, and working on problems that actually matter, this is the kind of role where you can do the best work of your career.

Data Engineer - Investment Platform (Python - Azure - Airflow - AI) £90k–£140k + bonus + benefits Hybrid | Central London There's a quiet data problem at the heart of private markets and a London fintech is building the infrastructure to solve it. Every PE fund, credit strategy and infrastructure vehicle reports NAVs, capital calls and investor positions differently. Different fund admins. Different formats. Different cadences. Some APIs are terrible. Many don't exist at all. Now imagine giving a wealth manager in Zurich, a private bank in Hong Kong and an adviser in Sydney one clean, regulator-ready view across all of it - in near real time. That's the challenge that we need a software & data engineer to solve. You'll own ingestion pipelines from global fund administrators, design scalable data models across relational, NoSQL and Delta architectures, and solve the reconciliation problems that turn fragmented investment data into a clean, unified layer the platform can rely on. You'll also help shape how AI gets embedded into the platform - not as a side experiment, but as core infrastructure. The engineering environment is modern and evolving fast. You get room to shape systems, not just maintain them. Python, airflow and Azure underpin a modern distributed data platform built around ingestion pipelines, lakehouse architecture, streaming workflows, CI/CD, observability and product-facing data services. The team is actively pushing further into AI-native workflows - using LLMs to improve ingestion, reconciliation and reporting, while investing heavily in data quality, lineage and platform reliability. The wider application stack is React, TypeScript and Node, so this isn't a siloed data engineer role hidden away from the product. Engineers here work across the platform where it makes sense: infrastructure, pipelines, APIs, application architecture and the data experiences exposed to end users. Engineering culture matters too. Leadership comes from deep trading-tech and asset management infrastructure backgrounds. Pragmatic people. Low ego. Strong technical standards. The kind of environment where good architectural pushback is welcomed. You'll enjoy logging every morning if: • Care deeply about data quality and clean engineering, • Enjoy solving messy, high-consequence data problems, • Like operating across data, infrastructure and application engineering, • Want ownership, not endless Jira ticket throughput, • Are curious about fintech, wealth or private markets, • See AI as an opportunity to build better systems, not just automate tasks You don't need prior private markets experience. What matters is strong engineering judgement, deep Python capability and the ability to navigate messy, real-world data problems without overengineering them. Curious to know more? Hit apply or send me a DM — informal first conversations are taking place now.

The pitch. It’s a serious engineering role with a great team – and meaningful responsibility. This is not a narrow “ticket-closing” developer job. You won’t be handed tightly scoped Jira tasks inside a heavily layered team structure. You won’t be maintaining a disposable MVP. And you won’t be managing people. Instead, you’ll be working on the core platform that underpins Outsmart’s crowdsourcing operations – a mature, revenue-generating system that has evolved over years and continues to scale. If you enjoy owning real systems, thinking architecturally, improving legacy code thoughtfully rather than rewriting it, and being trusted to deliver without heavy supervision, this role will feel unusually well-matched. The role As Senior Fullstack Software Engineer, you will help design, build and maintain the production systems that power Outsmart’s platform. You’ll work closely with our CTO, operating as a high-agency individual contributor with genuine ownership across backend systems, infrastructure and platform evolution. This is a role for someone who wants to: • Work on real, live systems with meaningful operational responsibility, • Make architectural decisions, not just implement them, • Improve and extend an existing platform with care and judgement, • Help shape the engineering foundations for the next stage of company growth You will be trusted to take product and operational requirements and translate them into robust, production-ready solutions. What you’ll be doing • Designing and maintaining backend services primarily in Python, • Developing and evolving well-structured RESTful APIs, • Designing and improving data models across relational (e.g. PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases, • Working across the stack where needed, including JavaScript, modern HTML/CSS, and utility frameworks such as Tailwind, • Contributing to cloud-based infrastructure (e.g. Google Cloud), deployment pipelines and DevOps practices, • Debugging live production issues with a calm, root-cause mindset, • Incrementally improving system architecture using sound design principles (including modular design, DDD-style thinking, and pragmatic architectural patterns), • Reviewing code, raising standards constructively, and contributing to a disciplined engineering culture, • Leveraging modern tooling (including AI-assisted development) to improve quality and velocity This is not greenfield experimentation. It is thoughtful, high-quality engineering on systems that matter. The environment We are a small, intellectually serious company. That has advantages and responsibilities. You will: • Speak directly with senior decision-makers when needed, • Operate without perfect documentation, • Balance speed with long-term maintainability This role suits someone comfortable with autonomy, accountability and cross-functional collaboration. Who this role is for This role is designed for someone who is: • 8–15 years into their engineering career, • Has worked in a small company (c. 5–30 people) or similarly lean environment without heavy process, • Experienced in inheriting and improving mature systems, • Comfortable reading and navigating complex legacy code, • Strong in systems thinking (trade-offs, scalability, cost implications), • Backend-heavy, with strong Python expertise, • Operationally mature – you’ve supported production systems, not just built features You are likely: • Calm under pressure, • Direct but not ego-driven, • Curious and thoughtful rather than dogmatic, • Comfortable challenging ideas constructively If you primarily identify as a manager, a greenfield-only builder, or someone who prefers heavy structure and layered sign-off, this role is unlikely to be a good fit. Practicalities Schedule: Monday to Friday Weekends: No Location: UK-based Working style: Hybrid (remote and London office) Why Outsmart Insight? Outsmart Insight operates at the intersection of technology, intelligence and large-scale coordination. Our internal platform powers a global network and supports complex, high-trust client engagements. We are deliberately serious about quality, reliability and long-term thinking. As we grow, we are investing in strengthening our engineering foundations – building systems that are robust, scalable and thoughtfully designed.

Most blockchain engineering roles are someone's research playground waiting for a token launch. This isn't that. This is production infrastructure already live — tokenising real-world assets onchain via a regulated, asset-backed digital security structure. Live product. Real onboarding, custody, issuance, redemption. A regulated infrastructure platform transitioning from single-product business to a multi-partner platform across alternative asset classes. Small engineering team, hands-on culture, no research sandbox. You'll own and evolve the Solidity layer end-to-end: token issuance, redemption, wallet flows, upgrade patterns, modular contracts powering future white-label deployments. You'll troubleshoot live production issues, own audits and security reviews with external partners. This isn't 90% architecture and 10% code — it's the inverse. Stack: Solidity, EVM, Foundry/Hardhat, ERC-20/721, upgradeable patterns, plus heavy AI tooling baked into the day-to-day (Claude, Cursor, Copilot). Strong Solidity production fundamentals required. Familiarity with ERC standards, security best practices, and common attack vectors. Backend and API integration experience essential. AI dev tooling fluency is a hard ask, not a nice-to-have. Bonus: wallet infrastructure, regulated fintech, upgradeable patterns, supporting live blockchain products with real users and real assets. Suitable for engineers who've shipped contracts that hold real money — not theoretical TVL. Ex-DeFi protocol engineers ready for the institutional side. Builders, not researchers. Low ego, high self-worth. Not for you if you want to ship another testnet experiment, or if your interest in blockchain is purely speculative. £75k–£95k base + options for the right person. London, in-office. No CV required to start the chat. Message Kieran on LinkedIn to fast track.

Crypto is the only major asset class left where the microstructure is still being figured out in real time. A top-tier crypto-native market maker — one of the largest liquidity providers in digital assets across CEX, DEX, and OTC — is hiring a quant researcher to push their HFT alpha stack forward. Founder-led, founder-funded, no outside capital dictating the roadmap. Game-theoretic DNA in the research culture. A team pulled from elite trading firms, olympiads, and top research institutions — high-talent, low-ego, allergic to politics. Why this seat is rare Pure research. No plumbing, no devops detours. Feature design, model architecture, signal improvement — that's the job. Full alpha stack. You'll work from feature engineering through statistical modelling to optimiser tuning. Breadth that's hard to find at firms where the stack has been carved into specialist silos. Real feedback loop. They deploy fast. Your work hits live strategies and shows up in PnL the same week — not the same quarter. Markets that still reward thinking. Crypto microstructure is fragmented, fast-moving, and full of inefficiencies the TradFi playbook doesn't quite solve. The interesting problems are still on the table. Who they're looking for A rigorous, empirically-minded researcher who loves noisy data and sharp questions. Strong in Python and/or C++, fluent in stats and optimisation, and able to take an idea from hypothesis to production without hand-holding. PnL track record, olympiad pedigree, or world-class academics — any of the three lands. 2–7 years is the sweet spot, but they hire for slope, not seniority. If you want to do real research in markets that still pay for it — get in touch.

There are studios where you wait years to be trusted with real responsibility. And there are studios where, if you are capable, you are given the room to prove it. This opportunity sits firmly in the second category. Grõ Careers is exclusively partnering with a fast-growing, design-led London practice entering its next stage of growth. Still young, agile and non-corporate in feel, the studio has moved well beyond its early-stage identity and is now delivering increasingly substantial residential and mixed-use projects across London and the UK. Led by founders with backgrounds in globally recognised architecture studios, this is a practice with serious design pedigree, but without the layers, politics or corporate restraint of a larger office. That combination is what makes the opportunity interesting: ambitious projects, close access to senior decision-makers, and the chance to take on real responsibility without waiting years for permission. They are now looking for an Architect or Project Architect with strong residential experience to play a key role in their next phase of growth. The Opportunity This is not a role for someone who wants to sit quietly inside a large team, waiting for responsibility to filter down. You will be joining a studio where people are trusted early, exposed to clients and consultants, and encouraged to take genuine ownership... a non-traditional practice environment. The current requirement is focused on a growing pipeline of residential schemes, including larger projects in the region of 100-200+ units. Some are later-stage schemes, taking inherited planning proposals through Stage 3 and beyond. Others are earlier-stage projects expected to progress into technical delivery. The common thread is ownership. You will be close to the work, close to the decision-making, and close to the senior team. What You’ll Be Doing You will take residential/mixed-use projects through key design and delivery stages, working closely with clients, directors, associates, and consultants. Your role will include: • taking day-to-day ownership of residential and mixed-use project workstreams (with support of a junior team);, • developing and coordinating design information (across all RIBA Stages);, • working through gateway, technical design and delivery-stage challenges;, • coordinating consultants and external project teams;, • reviewing inherited design information and helping move projects forward;, • maintaining design intent while responding to technical, regulatory and commercial pressures;, • contributing to a studio culture where people get stuck in rather than hide behind hierarchy. Why This Is Different The studio has the energy of a younger practice, but the project pipeline of a business moving into a more mature and ambitious phase. It is relaxed, low-ego and intentionally non-corporate, but the expectations are high. You will not be boxed into a narrow title. If you show capability, you will be given responsibility. If you want more exposure, you will not have to wait years for someone to notice. This could be particularly relevant if you are currently in a larger prominent practice and feel ready to move away from being one part of a much bigger machine. You’ll Thrive Here If… • You are technically capable, but not purely technical., • You understand residential projects, but care deeply about design quality., • You are comfortable taking responsibility, asking the right questions, and working with a degree of autonomy., • You are calm under pressure, low-ego and commercially aware., • You enjoy being close to the project rather than removed from it., • You are confident in Revit and comfortable working in a fast-moving studio environment. Useful Experience The strongest fit will bring: • UK residential project experience (£10+ million construction value);, • exposure to multi-unit schemes;, • strong Revit capability;, • experience across all RIBA Stages;, • design / technical coordination and consultant coordination experience;, • confidence working with clients, consultants and internal teams;, • an interest in joining a studio where progression is based on contribution, not rigid hierarchy. The Working Setup The studio is London-based, with a general working pattern of four days in the studio and one day from home. The environment is relaxed, creative and informal, but also ambitious. This is a team looking for people who want to contribute properly, not simply fill a seat. This Opportunity Includes More responsibility. More visibility. Closer access to senior leadership (industry-renowned architects from leading design firms). A wider role across design, coordination and delivery. And the opportunity to join a studio at an exciting point of evolution, where its next phase is taking shape. If this sounds aligned with where you want to take your career, submit your CV to Grõ Careers.

If you’re an ambitious RIBA Part II Architectural Assistant in a leading practice… you probably already know the trade-off: Big-name studio = brilliant projects… but you can spend years supporting, not owning. Small studio = huge responsibility… but limited scale, structure, and progression. What if you didn’t have to choose? This isn’t a “traditional practice” role. This is an opportunity to join a fast-growing, design-led, medium-sized London studio entering its next stage of growth - still young, agile and non-corporate in feel, but now delivering increasingly substantial residential and mixed-use projects across London and the UK. You’ll be put in the seat where the opportunities are. Not just producing. Influencing. Presenting. Owning. Founded by prominent architects with backgrounds in globally recognised design studios, the practice combines serious design pedigree with the pace, openness and responsibility of a younger studio. No heavy hierarchy. No rigid box around your title. No waiting years to be trusted. The Work Notable design-led residential, mixed-use and developer-led projects across London and the UK, with a growing pipeline of larger schemes. You could be supporting schemes from early-stage design through planning, technical coordination and delivery, depending on project need and your own development. The role offers exposure that can be incredibly difficult to access at Part II level. And if you perform? You will be trusted with more. Who We’re Looking For • An experienced RIBA Part II Architectural Assistant, • At least 2 years of UK practice experience, • Comfortable working on residential or mixed-use projects, • Confident in producing strong drawings, layouts and presentation material, • Interested in both design quality and how projects are put together, • Proactive, low-ego and comfortable taking responsibility, • Looking for more ownership than your current role allows, • Keen to complete Part III with the right studio support Software: • Revit experience is highly desirable, • Rhino / SketchUp experience would also be useful, • A strong design eye and ability to communicate ideas clearly is essential Package • Competitive salary, dependent on experience, • Part III support available, • Four days in the studio, one day from home, • Energetic team and strong social culture, • Annual international studio trip, • Relaxed, non-corporate studio environment, • Genuine route to increased responsibility and progression How To Apply Send your CV to Grõ Careers via the apply button. Shortlisted applicants will be asked to share a portfolio. Further details are shared only at the post-discovery stage. If you’re the kind of Architectural Assistant who wants ownership, exposure and momentum, this is one of the rare roles at this level that genuinely offers it.
