Senior Software Engineer at UnlikelyAI

LLMs are powerful but notoriously unreliable. Join the London-based team solving the AI hallucination problem for the world’s largest financial institutions. Founded by the creator of the tech that became Amazon Alexa, this Series A startup is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build the public API and symbolic reasoning engine that makes generative AI deterministic, explainable, and trustworthy at scale. If you thrive on deep technical challenges at the intersection of classical symbolic AI and modern machine learning, this is the most unique engineering role in London right now.

About this role

Role overview

You will architect the future of reliable AI by merging LLMs with proprietary symbolic reasoning technology. As a senior engineer, you'll transition bespoke enterprise solutions into a scalable public platform, building high-performance APIs and document pipelines that deliver deterministic, explainable outcomes for top-tier financial institutions where accuracy is non-negotiable.

About the company

Software

Series A neurosymbolic AI startup founded by the creator of Amazon Alexa

What you'll do

What you will do

  • Design and build the infrastructure for a new public API, including authentication, high-scale architecture, and developer experience tooling.
  • Develop complex symbolic reasoning engines that represent regulatory knowledge as machine-evaluable rules and knowledge graphs.
  • Scale production-grade document ingestion pipelines to handle sophisticated data extraction and OCR across multiple jurisdictions and formats.

Who you are

Who this is a fit for

  • Expert-level proficiency in Python with a track record of shipping well-typed, production-quality code in collaborative monorepo environments.
  • Deep experience with complex algorithms and data structures, specifically applied to non-trivial engineering problems or symbolic AI.
  • Proven ability to lead the end-to-end lifecycle of new software systems from initial ideation to large-scale production deployment.

Why this role

Why this role is remarkable

  • Work under the leadership of William Tunstall-Pedoe, the founder behind Evi (the technology that became Alexa), alongside a team from Google and Amazon.
  • Solve the "hallucination problem" in AI by building neurosymbolic guardrails that bridge the gap between probabilistic machine learning and deterministic computing.
  • Join at a pivotal Series A transition point as the company moves from bespoke enterprise deployments to a global, developer-facing public API platform.
