Founding Head of Engineering (AI) - Deploy IQ Every conversation on our platform generates structured property data - buyer intent, pricing sentiment, location demand, valuation triggers - across 300+ estate agency branches. 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
