We went from zero to 300+ live branches in under four months. No VC. No paid ads. Two products, real revenue. Now we need a founding engineer who can build the technical infrastructure to match the traction. The Company Deploy IQ builds AI-native platforms for the property industry. Yield - conversational AI for estate agencies. Live across 300+ branches, integrated with every major CRM, generating structured property data with every conversation. Growing fast. Harold - AI deal platform for land promoters, housebuilders, developers, capital markets teams, and property investment firms. Early access, pilot clients onboarding now. The Team Sam Sykes (Co-Founder & CFO) - grew up in the teams who built the UK property data industry. Building property data products since 14. Tens of millions in property deals completed by 25. Tom Heath (Co-Founder & CEO) - led global sales for a $20M-funded wearable AI startup, selling to Red Bull, Mizuno, and MLB. Grew up in a family of developers, saw firsthand where property deals move and where they break. Advisors - huge names who have already built, ran, and sold nine-figure companies in property and PropTech. We're both 25. You will not find a stronger founding team at this age, at this stage, building what we're building. If you want to be part of something early enough to shape it - keep reading. The Role This is not a "manage a team of 15" role. This is build from zero to one to scale. What you'll do: • Architect and ship core AI systems (LLMs, agents, automation workflows, data pipelines), • Build and iterate on product prototypes in days, not months, • Own the engineering roadmap from MVP through to scale, • Design the data infrastructure that turns every conversation into structured, queryable intelligence, • Hire and lead the engineering team as we grow, • 5-7+ years engineering experience with deep AI/ML expertise, • You've built and shipped products yourself, not just contributed to someone else's, • You have a portfolio: GitHub, side projects, experiments, things with real users, • You're a builder first, manager second, • Experience with LLMs, agent systems, or applied AI in production, • You've built tools or products used by thousands, • Active in AI communities - GitHub, Twitter/X, open source, • You think like a founder, not an employee Why This Role Is Different We're not looking for someone who just "has AI experience." We're looking for someone like Peter Steinberger - a prolific builder who has shipped multiple products independently and understands how to turn ideas into real, usable systems. If your GitHub is empty and your best story is about a feature you shipped inside a big team, this isn't the role. Compensation • Competitive salary, • Meaningful equity, • The opportunity to define the technical DNA of a company that's already in market with real traction Apply Send us: • Your GitHub or portfolio, • Links to things you've built (especially anything with real users), • A short note on what you've built that you're most proud of

The Opportunity - (Fully Remote, Perm role) This is a greenfield data platform build. ___ is in the middle of a major AI transformation — a multi‐agent copilot platform (KAI) is already live in production, serving manufacturing clients globally. The AI roadmap is ambitious (agentic AI capabilities, multi‐agent orchestration, voice interfaces), and the next wave of capabilities depends on a strong data engineering foundation. A Databricks lakehouse POC is being evaluated (Unity Catalog, Delta Sharing, PrivateLink to RDS), and the team is assessing the right long‐term analytics platform strategy. This role builds the entire data engineering function from scratch — defining the architecture, tooling, and patterns that power the next generation of AI capabilities. This is an entirely forward‐looking role. While there is an active platform modernisation underway (the engineering team is migrating a .NET platform from SQL Server to PostgreSQL and containerising for Kubernetes), this role’s primary focus is building new data pipelines and analytics infrastructure, not maintaining legacy systems. That said, collaboration with the platform engineering team is important, as the data pipelines need to ingest from both the existing SQL Server estate and the new PostgreSQL databases. Core Technical Requirements • Python — primary language for data pipelines, scripting, and integration with the AI stack. This is a Python‐first team, • SQL (SQL Server + PostgreSQL) — deep experience required across both engines. The platform runs a large‐scale multi‐tenant database estate with per‐client schemas (local, global, corporate). The new platform targets Aurora PostgreSQL, with several modules already migrated. Pipelines must bridge both., • Databricks / Apache Spark — a lakehouse POC is being evaluated with Unity Catalog and Delta Sharing via AWS PrivateLink. Experience with Databricks or equivalent analytics platforms is important for assessing and scaling the right approach, • Apache Kafka — event streaming experience is essential. The platform is evaluating Kafka as the strategic backbone for ordered event logs, consumer group replay, and guaranteed partition ordering as the microservices fleet scales, • ETL/ELT pipeline design — building and maintaining pipelines into a medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold layers) on Databricks or equivalent analytics platform, • Delta Lake — understanding of lakehouse table formats, time travel, and ACID transaction patterns, • AWS data services — RDS, S3, Lambda, Glue or equivalent. The platform runs entirely on AWS • Linux / CLI proficiency — must be comfortable working AI-Assisted Development Methodology -> Solvace is transitioning towards AI‐assisted development as a core engineering practice. Candidates should demonstrate: • Hands‐on experience with AI coding tools — Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or similar. We’re looking for engineers who have integrated these tools into their professional workflow, not just experimented casually, • Spec‐driven development — ability to write clear technical specifications that can be used to drive both human and AI‐assisted implementation, with strong evaluation criteria and test coverage, • Portfolio evidence — professional projects or side projects that demonstrate AI‐assisted development practices. Contributions to or experimentation with emerging projects like OpenClaw are a strong signal, • Testing and evaluation rigour — experience building robust test suites, automated quality gates, and evaluation frameworks that ensure AI‐assisted code meets production standards Nice-to-Have -> • Apache Flink — for real‐time stream processing as the platform moves from batch to streaming analytics, • Apache Iceberg — experience with open table formats alongside or as an alternative to Delta Lake, • Go or Rust — valued as evidence of strong backend engineering and systems thinking, even though Python is the primary language, • Multi‐tenant data architectures — the platform runs per‐client schemas with tenant isolation requirements. Understanding tenant isolation patterns is a significant advantage, • Terraform / IaC — infrastructure is managed via Terraform; the Databricks POC has been codified in Terraform, • dbt or similar transformation framework, • Manufacturing / industrial data domain experience (sensor data, quality metrics, OEE, SPC), • CDC (Change Data Capture) — the platform is building CDC pipelines for the SQL Server to PostgreSQL transition, • Weaviate or other vector database experience — currently used for semantic search in the AI agent layer Why Join? • Greenfield data platform — the entire data engineering practice needs to be built from scratch. A lakehouse POC is being evaluated but the production architecture is theirs to define — patterns, tooling, and platform decisions from day one, • Direct AI impact — every pipeline they build directly unblocks AI agent capabilities. The KAI copilot is live in production and evolving towards agentic AI — autonomous agents that take actions, orchestrate workflows, and operate across systems. This role provides the data foundation that makes agentic capabilities possible, • Event streaming architecture — opportunity to design and implement a Kafka‐based event backbone, shaping the platform’s real‐time data architecture, • Manufacturing AI — opportunity to work at the intersection of industrial operations and generative AI, a domain with massive untapped potential. Rich, real‐world data: quality inspections, KPIs, maintenance records, safety observations, process parameters across global manufacturing sites, • Small team, high autonomy — the Innovation Hub operates with startup‐level autonomy inside a funded, growing company, • Leadership trajectory — the data function is critical to the platform and will grow. As an early hire, there is an open career path that will grow with the function — earned, not guaranteed
