Founding Engineer (AI/ML)

Clove is seeking a Founding Engineer specializing in AI/ML to join their early-stage fintech startup. This role represents a unique opportunity to shape the foundation of how AI is integrated into wealth management and financial advisory services. As one of the first hires, you'll be instrumental in building core AI capabilities that enhance both advisor and client experiences.

The position requires a seasoned professional with 5+ years of ML/AI engineering experience, including significant hands-on work with LLMs and production systems. You'll be responsible for developing sophisticated AI tools for transcription, summarization, and content generation, while ensuring these systems are reliable and well-integrated into the product workflow.

What makes this role particularly exciting is the chance to apply AI in meaningful ways to real human workflows in the financial advisory space. Rather than building simple chatbots, you'll be creating intelligent assistants that augment human capabilities and improve operational efficiency. You'll work directly with advisors to understand their needs and implement AI solutions that enhance their ability to serve clients effectively.

The company offers a compelling package including competitive compensation with meaningful equity, flexible working arrangements from their London HQ, and top-tier technical resources. You'll be joining a high-trust, high-performance culture where your work will have direct impact on customer outcomes. The founding team brings proven experience and market insight to their mission of closing the advice gap for a new generation of investors.

This is an ideal opportunity for an AI engineer who wants to be part of a founding team, values autonomy, and is excited about applying cutting-edge AI technology to solve real-world problems in wealth management. The role combines technical depth with practical business impact, offering the chance to shape both the technical architecture and the product direction from the ground up.
