Full-Stack AI Engineer | Pre-Seed AI & Climate Infra | London / Remote | Contract → FT
About Veridue AI / the mission we obsess over Energy is the primary lever for the survival of our planet. The transition to a
zero-carbon economy is the greatest challenge of our generation, touching
everything from global affordability to the massive power demands of the AI
revolution.
Our mission is simple: Abundant, cheap, and clean energy for everyone.
To stay within a livable climate threshold, the world must invest $4 trillion every
single year in energy transition infrastructure: renewables, battery storage, and
EV charging. Currently, we are failing to hit that target.
The bottleneck isn't a lack of capital, the cost of hardware, or the speed of
construction. The bottleneck is automatable processes. On average, it takes five
years to get all the paperwork in place to build a one-year construction project.
The world is building paper stacks, instead of solar racks.
We are building the AI infrastructure to shrink those five years into five
seconds. By automating the most painful, manual bottlenecks in the development
Full-Stack AI Engineer | Pre-Seed AI & Climate Infra | London / Remote | Contract → FT 1
cycle, we unblock the flow of capital to the front lines of the energy transition. Our
current product delivers agentic AI due diligence for renewable energy
investors. We replace months of manual legal and technical review with a high-
precision AI audit delivered in one hour.
We raised a highly oversubscribed $4M pre-seed round and are backed by
world class investors, including Episode 1, HTGF, PiLabs, Cameron Hepburn 2x
energy unicorn founder), Ian Smedley Barclays Head of Power M&A , Jeremy
Palmer Chairman PhysicsX , and Sam Bourton (ex CTO Quantum Black) amongst
others.
About the founders Daniel, CEO has done over $10 billion in energy M&A transactions both as an
investor at a renewables investment fund in New York and as an advisor at
McKinsey in London and New York. He used to be our ICP, knows the problem
and the industry out, has an amazing network in the space, and has earned his
reputation and trust from a decade in the space.
Xander, CTO similarly has led AI risk modeling for over $1 trillion in insured value
of energy assets, working for one of the largest reinsurance companies in the
world SCOR . There, he gained hyper-relevant Agentic AI experience building and
deploying it in production for contract review, a high-stakes environment where
building trust in AI with users is key.
The Role We are looking for an experienced, highly autonomous Full-Stack AI Engineer to
join us on a contract basis 1 3 months) ASAP, with the possibility to convert into
a full-time role if thereʼs mutual interest.
As a core technical contributor, you will work directly with the CTO to build the
Agentic AI system and platform that powers Veridue's due diligence engine. We
need someone who can bridge the gap between sophisticated AI orchestration
and high-quality product engineering—moving from RAG architecture and agentic
loops to sleek frontend implementation with speed and precision.
Example problems you will work on:
Full-Stack AI Engineer | Pre-Seed AI & Climate Infra | London / Remote | Contract → FT 2
Create AI Subagents that tackle high-stakes due diligence pillars like land
rights analysis or permit matrix extraction from thousands of fragmented
documents.
Elevate our Context Engineering through advanced RAG patterns and
knowledge graphs, mapping and extracting truth across 10,000 document
data rooms.
Human–Agent Collaboration: Think Claude Code for Energy Investors.
Building a seamless interface where the AI acts as a digital colleague. Solve
for knowledge access, contextual UI (where users can right-click any content
to start a chat), linking references back to exact UI sections, and incrementally
modifying diligence outputs.
Note: Across any of these projects, you will be working on cutting-edge AI
implementations, but it will be in the real world of production AI, messy data,
and inconsistent criteria. While we have extensive ground-truth data, you will
be responsible for building your own evals to ensure legal-grade precision.
The Veridue Mindset
Obsession with the Energy Transition: We are deeply passionate about
solving climate change by removing the massive bottlenecks in energy
infrastructure. We want to use our engineering skills to accelerate the
deployment of abundant, cheap, and clean energy.
Conscious Evolution: We are building an ambitious business, which requires
us to be at our best. We actively invest in our personal growth through
coaching, therapy, meditation, or deep self-reflection, and support each other
in becoming more authentic and grounded.
AI Native Craftsmanship: We don't just build AI; we build with AI. Itʼs our
force multiplier. We are obsessed with staying at the bleeding edge of agents
and are power users of Claude Code. We donʼt ship AI spaghetti; we control
architecture and ship precision-engineered codebases that happen to be built
at 100x speed.
Systems Thinking from First Principles: We strip complex problems down to
their fundamental truths instead of following standard industry playbooks. We
Full-Stack AI Engineer | Pre-Seed AI & Climate Infra | London / Remote | Contract → FT 3
are systems builders who think in architectural primitives rather than just
tickets or features, designing systems that eliminate months of work.
Impact Over Ego: We measure our success by customer ROI and delight, not
just by building intellectually interesting tech. We leave our egos at the door,
handle radical candor gracefully, and lead from a place of vulnerability and
trust.
Relentless Velocity & Extreme Ownership: If someone says a solution will
take a week, our instinct is to figure out how to ship a high-impact MVP in a
day. We don't wait for permission; we see a broken process, take ownership
from concept to success, and put in the focused hours when it matters most.
Ideal Profile
Full-Stack Fluency: Highly proficient with our stack: Python, FastAPI,
PostgreSQL, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, shadcn/ui, TanStack.
AI Orchestration: Experience building custom loops for agentic memory, tool-
use, and state management (beyond simple API wrappers).
Data-Heavy Pipelines: Experience building pipelines that extract truth from
messy data or multi-thousand-page PDFs.
Founding DNA Youʼve been a founder, an early hire, or have shipped a side
project from 0 to 1. You don't need a spec to get started.
Reliability Obsessed: Deep familiarity with observability, testing, and ensuring
high-stakes financial/legal data is handled correctly.
What We Offer
Immediate Impact: A 1 3 month high-intensity contract with a clear mission.
Remote or Hybrid: Optional 3 days in office in London with the team.
High-Impact Domain: Energy transition infrastructure is one of the most
consequential investment spaces globally.
Technical Autonomy: You'll own architecture decisions and shape the
technical direction for the features you build.
Full-Stack AI Engineer | Pre-Seed AI & Climate Infra | London / Remote | Contract → FT 4
