Software Engineer

At UnlikelyAI, we are building the future of AI: one that is reliable, accurate and transparent. Our neurosymbolic technology harnesses the power of LLMs and generative AI, and combines it with classical symbolic technology to produce hallucination-resistant artificial intelligence for high-trust applications.

To support our rapidly increasing commercial momentum, we’re looking for a software engineer to join our exceptional team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys collaborating directly with customers to understand their needs and shape impactful solutions.

You’ll work on a range of customer-facing and internal projects, applying your engineering skills to solve complex, often novel problems. Your ability to write clean, efficient code and your comfort in navigating ambiguity will be key as we continue to develop advanced reasoning capabilities in software systems.

You’ll collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of software engineers, research scientists, and research engineers in a highly cross-functional environment. This is a hands-on role with real-world impact, offering the chance to shape both our technology and the way it reaches users.

Our ways of working may be different to what you’re used to. We work in a highly dynamic way, rapidly delivering projects in a few weeks. We do not subscribe to many classical Agile working practices, and our teams regularly change to adapt to changing projects and business priorities.

What we’re looking for

This is a full stack role, but successful candidates will be able to evidence clear competency with, and experience building, frontend applications. To thrive in this role, you:

• Possess strong computer science fundamentals

• Strong skills in Javascript/Typescript/React with professional experience with Python

• Experience writing testable code with strong understanding of testing practices and quality engineering principles

• Will have a relevant degree (e.g. Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering or similar);

• Have a bias for action – a natural tendency to take initiative and make decisions
  

Why Join Us?

We have a world-class team of intelligent, focused, collaborative people. We're ambitious, move fast and have a lot of fun while doing it.

We have a huge vision for the future. This offers a unique opportunity to work on the foundational layers of AI but, unlike many other companies, we're not just scaling LLMs, we're focused on a novel neuro-symbolic approach.

You'll work with our novel and cutting-edge tech. Driving this forward involves solving some exciting challenges, so our team has the freedom to be creative and explore innovative ideas in an environment where our technology is evolving and maturing.
