Job Title: Founding Product Engineer

Salary: £110k-£145k + Equity

Company Description: Nexcade AI - Freshly funded AI startup automating complex global freight forwarding workflows

Job Description:
Join Nexcade AI as a Founding Product Engineer to build agentic AI systems that automate exception-heavy logistics workflows. Reporting to the CTO, you will own customer-facing product development, bridging the gap between sophisticated LLM orchestration and real-world operations. You'll ship full-stack features that transform unstructured communication into automated pricing and procurement.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Work at the cutting edge of agentic AI with a team that recently raised an $8.5m seed round and is seeing 40% month-over-month growth.

• Enjoy high ownership as a founding member, shaping the technical architecture and product strategy for a platform used by industry leaders like Zencargo.

• Join a high-velocity culture that prioritizes shipping code and solving tangible, billion-dollar problems in the global logistics and freight forwarding industry.

What you will do:

• Prototype and iterate on AI-driven automation workflows, converting complex email threads and WhatsApp negotiations into structured procurement data.

• Build and maintain full-stack features using React, TypeScript, and Python while ensuring high performance and scalability in cloud environments.

• Partner directly with customers and founders to translate operational pain points into technical solutions, maintaining a focus on usability and user experience.

The ideal candidate:

• Has 4-8 years of experience shipping production-grade systems at high-growth tech companies, preferably with exposure to LLM orchestration or agentic systems.

• Demonstrates high agency and a "first principles" mindset, having previously worked in early-stage environments or led 0-to-1 product initiatives.

• Possesses strong proficiency in modern stacks including React, TypeScript, Python, and Temporal, with a deep intuition for user-centric product design.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
