Founding AI Engineer — LEC AI
We're building the AI stack the next generation of businesses will run on. Not a lab. Not a wrapper. Not a consultancy. An operating company that intends to be one of the biggest players in this space.
London. In person. Fast paced. Real building.
We have Bishop, a foundation model for tabular data. Prices, inventory, transactions, time series, event streams. The data businesses actually run on rather than language.
On top of Bishop we're building Donnie, an executive cognitive model. Persistent memory across multiple tiers. Multi agent orchestration. Hierarchy layers above the agents. Digital twins of the operations Donnie reasons over. Live tool use across every system a business runs. Donnie is already deployed inside our operating businesses today with real data flowing through it.
Around Bishop and Donnie we're building companies. Predictive arbitrage on global collectibles resale platforms. Sports prediction markets for World Cup 2026. Energy and carbon derivatives trading. Credit, insurance and lending risk pricing. Bishop Studio, our SaaS product that puts Bishop and Donnie inside any SME.
LEC has been the operating company between Britain and China for 74 years. We already have the commercial engine to turn technology into working businesses at scale. Now we're doing it through AI.
Who we want:
You currently ship production AI at a top lab, top scaleup, or top quant fund. Anthropic, DeepMind, OpenAI, Meta AI, ByteDance, a Millennium pod, a serious AI startup that has actually shipped.
Your GitHub commit graph is a resume in itself.
You have taken something from zero to production with real users and real revenue.
You are hungry. You want to build, ship, own. You are done contributing your best work to a large collective effort that ships something with someone else's name on it.
What you get:
Top of market base salary. As the companies ship and generate revenue, the people who built them share in what they built.
A platform, a product company, and everything that comes with being early at something we intend to make one of the biggest players in the space.
You will name the stack. Real customers, real revenue, real data on day one.
In person, Fulham, five days a week. Report directly to the CEO. Work alongside our Principal AI Architect.
