Job Description
Graduate Software Engineer | London | Up to £54,000 + NYC Onboarding
If you've recently graduated from a Russell Group university and have an exceptional academic record, this is one of the strongest opportunities currently available in London.
I’m working with a rapidly scaling US AI startup to build their founding engineering team in London.
This isn't a traditional graduate programme.
There are no lengthy training schemes, layers of management, or years spent waiting for meaningful responsibility.
Instead, you'll join a small, high-performing engineering team where you'll be building production software from day one, working directly with senior engineers in New York, and helping shape the future of a fast-growing AI business.
For ambitious graduates who want to accelerate their careers, the learning curve is difficult to match.
Your first two weeks will be spent onboarding in New York alongside the US engineering team before returning to London to help establish the company's engineering hub (all expenses paid).
They’re looking for exceptional graduates who have:
🎓 Outstanding academic results from a Russell Group university, Oxbridge, Imperial, or equivalent international institution
🎓 Strong performance in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field
🎓 Strong internship / research achievements
🎓 Strong Python and web development skills
🎓 A genuine interest in AI and emerging technologies
You'll be:
- Building AI-powered software used by major enterprise customers
- Shipping production code from day one
- Working directly with experienced engineers and founders
- Solving real-world problems with AI
- Taking ownership of projects far earlier than most graduates ever get the opportunity to
What makes this opportunity stand out?
✅ Learn directly from engineers with backgrounds at Google DeepMind, Meta, and other world-class technology companies
✅ Two-week onboarding programme in New York
✅ Huge ownership from day one
✅ AI-focused product development
✅ Fast progression based on ability, not tenure
✅ Founding-team exposure as the London office scales
For high-achieving Russell Group graduates looking for an environment that rewards talent, ambition, and intellectual curiosity, this is genuinely one of the most exciting early-career software engineering opportunities in the UK right now.
