We’ve raised more than $125M from Lightspeed, Section 32, Kleiner Perkins, Microsoft’s M12 venture fund, Founders Fund, Meta and Stanford, among others. Our technology has powered experiences from companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft Xbox, Niantic, Logitech Streamlabs, Wishroll, Little Umbrella and Bible Chat. We’ve also been recognized by CB Insights as one of the 100 most promising AI companies globally and have been named one of LinkedIn's Top 10 Startups in the USA. Who We're Looking For A year ago, reliably working agentic systems and sub-second multimodal inference at scale barely existed. Nobody has a decade of experience here. So we're not screening for a resume template — we're looking for strong people from varied backgrounds who learn fast, thrive in ambiguity, and can show us what they've built, broken, and understood. Experience We Find Useful You don't need all of this. But you need enough to make a case. • Inference Optimization. Deep understanding of modern serving frameworks and techniques like vLLM or TRT-LLM., • Model Acceleration. Hands-on experience with quantization, distillation, caching strategies , continuous batching, paged attention, and speculative decoding., • High-Performance Systems. Proficiency in C++, CUDA, Rust, or highly optimized Python. You know how to profile code and squeeze every ounce of performance out of NVIDIA GPUs., • Distributed Systems & Scaling. Experience with Kubernetes, Ray, custom load balancing, multi-GPU/multi-node inference, and reliably handling thousands of concurrent connections., • Public work. Non-trivial systems programming projects, open-source contributions to major inference engines, or deep-dive technical write-ups., • Full-cycle ownership. You can take a model from the research team, containerize it, optimize its serving, and ensure it runs reliably in production., • Background. PhD in CS, Physics, Math, or equivalent practical experience building backend or ML systems. Who Thrives Here • You don’t need a roadmap to start walking; you’re comfortable picking a direction and building the map as you go., • You believe engineering isn't finished until it’s shipped and stable. You have a bias for impact over purely theoretical optimizations., • You don't just ship code; you obsess over the why. You’re the first to question an architecture if you think there’s a better way to solve the core latency or throughput problem., • You aren't satisfied with "the PM said so." You thrive on deep context and want to understand the fundamental logic behind every decision we make. What Working Here Is Like We hand you unclear problems and expect you to make them clear. We value engineers who say "I don't know yet" and then design the benchmark or prototype that finds out. We treat performance, latency, and reliability as first-class product features, not a box to check before launch. Impact comes before everything else, though we support sharing work and open-source contributions that move the field forward. Your work should be visible. Flat structure, fast iterations, minimal process theater. The base salary range for this full-time position is £140,000 – £200,000. In addition to base pay, total compensation includes equity and benefits. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location, level, and additional factors, including competencies, experience, and business needs. The base pay range is subject to change and may be modified in the future. Candidates must already have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom, as visa sponsorship is not available for this role. For candidates interested in relocating to the San Francisco Bay Area in the future, full U.S. visa and relocation support may be available, subject to business needs and applicable legal and work authorization requirements.

You are equally comfortable writing production code, debugging an integration the night before a go-live, walking a customer's VP of Operations through an architecture decision and translating a messy business problem into a feasible agentic workflow. You thrive in ambiguity, make abstract problems concrete, and reduce chaos rather than amplify it when things go wrong. You'll work closely with Value Engineering, Product, Engineering, Infrastructure, and the customer's IT and business teams to prove that agentic AI can be implemented responsibly — not heroically. What You'll Work On End-to-End AI Delivery Ownership • Own technical delivery from design alignment through production rollout and Stabilization, • Configure, extend, and integrate Ema's agentic AI platform to meet customer requirements, • Ensure solutions align with Ema's agentic architecture and platform capabilities Hands-On Engineering • Write clean, efficient, maintainable code to build customer integrations, custom agents, and workflow extensions, • Build and maintain APIs (REST, gRPC) and integrations across enterprise SaaS systems, • Work with back-end languages such as Python and Go, and contribute to front-end interfaces (React/Angular, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) where customer-facing tooling is needed, • Work with data stores such as PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, Elastic, and Redis to shape scalable, extensible schemas for customer deployments Feasibility Judgment & Agentic Workflow Translation • Develop deep understanding of each customer's business processes, systems, and constraints, • Translate business workflows into feasible agentic AI workflows — and push back when something shouldn't be built, • Anticipate where AI implementations break: integrations, data quality, scale, edge cases Customer Leadership (Post-Sales) • Be the primary technical point of contact for customer business and IT stakeholders during implementation, • Coach customer teams and internal partners during high-stress phases — go-lives, incidents, scope changes, • Communicate progress, risks, and decisions clearly across technical and executive audiences Production Readiness & Stabilization • Stand systems up in multi-tenant SaaS environments and harden them for production, • Apply security best practices and enterprise integration patterns (auth, RBAC, audit, compliance), • Track success through adoption signals and outcome metrics — not just feature shipment, • Stabilize systems post go-live under real pressure Cross-Functional Collaboration • Coordinate across Ema Engineering, Product, Data, Infrastructure, and Value Engineering, • Feed customer learnings back into product and platform improvements, • Contribute to shared standards, delivery discipline, and reusable patterns across the implementation team Ideally, You'd Have • 5–8 years of relevant experience in technical implementation, post-sales engineering, solutions engineering, or hands-on software engineering with significant customer-facing exposure, • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field, • Hands-on production experience with agentic AI, automation, LLM applications, or workflow orchestration platforms — beyond pilots, • Strong back-end engineering skills in Python and/or Go; solid foundations in algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented programming, • Experience designing and building APIs (REST, gRPC) and integrations across enterprise systems, • Working knowledge of databases (PostgreSQL, Elastic, Redis, Clickhouse) and front- end frameworks (React or Angular), • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), • Experience deploying and operating software in multi-tenant SaaS environments, • Understanding of security best practices and protocols for enterprise software, • Track record of owning customer-facing delivery end-to-end — production, scale, and accountability, • Background in fast-growing startups or enterprise platform companies, • Strong technical judgment, calm under pressure, and excellent written and verbal communication with both engineers and business stakeholders, • Experience working with global, distributed teams Compensation offered will be determined by factors such as location, level, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. Certain roles may be eligible for variable compensation, equity, and benefits.

Moodsonic uses sound to improve how indoor spaces feel. Our platform delivers adaptive soundscapes for workplaces, hospitals, universities, and other shared environments shaping daily life, integrating with hardware, building systems, and an array of applications to respond dynamically to activity levels, time of day, environmental sensors, and user input. The work sits at the intersection of audio, real-time systems, and human experience. The role We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to own the backend that the entire product stack sits on: services, data layer, identity and authentication infrastructure, partner-facing integration APIs, device communication, and the security posture. You will own, evolve, and build the systems that power our internal tooling, customer-facing applications, partner integrations, and hardware deployments, strengthening what is already in production and shipping what comes next. You will be the technical lead on production engineering, security, and code quality, building on the foundations the team has put in place. As Moodsonic scales, you will keep the platform safe, reliable, and defensible. You are joining a team where colleagues hold deep domain knowledge. You will need to build trust, collaborate well, and lead through influence rather than authority. This is not a management role. The platform is live and growing quickly, with real customers and real consequences. What you'll work on In your first six to twelve months: • Own and evolve the backend platform: services, data layer, infrastructure, APIs. Strengthen what is in production today, design what is missing, and build what comes next, • Own the backend side of how our deployed hardware connects to the platform: ingestion, device authentication, fleet management, and remote provisioning. Visibility and input into on-device code decisions, because device security is platform security, • Own the identity, authentication, and account layer of the platform, • Own and operate our data protection posture across the platform: encryption in transit and at rest, key management, data lifecycle, and recovery, • Own the partner-facing integration APIs end to end, from design through operation. These are the surfaces our customers and hardware partners build against, and their reliability is our reputation, • Own the engineering practices that support our certifications and audit-readiness, • Establish and maintain the engineering standards (testing, review, deployment, monitoring, secure coding) that the team operates by, • Partner with the engineers owning the audio engine and frontend surface on the backend contracts their work depends on What we are looking for Required: • 5+ years shipping and operating production backend systems, including time on-call and in incident response. You know what it feels like when something breaks at 2am and you own the fix, • Operational resilience as a habit: you design for failure, build with recovery in mind, and treat incident learning as a driver of engineering quality, • Strong judgment in small-team environments. You have owned quality yourself rather than inheriting it from process. You can take high-level product, customer, or security needs and turn them into practical technical plans without a big PM or architecture layer handing you a spec, • Deep relational data modeling and schema design. Postgres or equivalent as a daily tool. Strong instincts for migrations, indexing, and query performance under load, • API design experience: you have built and maintained APIs that outlived their first version and you have opinions about versioning, compatibility, and contract discipline, • Identity and authentication systems experience: modern identity protocols (OAuth or similar), session management, role-based access, multi-tenant boundaries. You understand what breaks when these are wrong, • Security mindset in practice, not theory. You think about attack surface, threat models, and access control as a matter of course, with working knowledge of cryptography and data protection fundamentals, • Code quality and observability as habits. Tests, substantive review, documentation, and the instinct to measure how software behaves in production are part of doing the work, not chores after it, • Strong Python for backend services. Comfortable with SQL, Docker, at least one major cloud, infrastructure as code (Terraform, Pulumi, or equivalent), and modern CI/CD practices, • Modern AI development tools are part of how you ship. You stay current as they evolve, adopt what adds value, and use AI to go faster on work you already understand, which is why you catch AI mistakes before they become bugs, • Demonstrated technical leadership through influence, not authority: you raise the bar through code review, standards, and example, and you have earned trust from engineers who were there before you, • Pride in craft, proactive risk-flagging, and the instinct to raise quality bars rather than work around them. Intellectual honesty and the willingness to push back when the right answer is unpopular, • Clear written and verbal communication, particularly when working asynchronously across time zones Valued: • Designing systems that interface with deployed hardware: device fleets, provisioning flows, secure OTA updates, telemetry ingestion, • Shipping to enterprise customers, incident response commitments, and contractual security obligations, • Experience inside a compliance-driven environment (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or equivalent) or building for auditability as a default, • Kubernetes and modern container orchestration, • Additional backend language fluency (Node or TypeScript, Go, Rust) for polyglot service work, • Audio, signal processing, or real-time systems background, • AI and machine learning in product contexts: audio generation, personalization engines, training and serving pipelines Not required but welcome: • Interest in sound, music, acoustics, or the wellbeing applications of audio Team and how we work You will join a small, senior team distributed across the UK, Europe, and the US West Coast. We run a weekly product cadence, work asynchronously by default, and rely on clear written communication to stay aligned across time zones. Compensation and benefits Base salary £65,000 to £85,000, calibrated to experience. Equity will be a material part of the package. Benefits include private medical insurance for UK employees, 28 days paid holiday inclusive of UK holidays, flexible remote-first working. UK right to work is required. How to apply Send a short note, your CV, and links to work you are proud of. Please include three to five sentences on a production system, API, identity/auth, or platform hardening project you owned.
