Building: work with Founders to develop venture ideas, systematically de-risk them, and turn them into new companies with team, funding and a roadmap to seed. You'll ensure robust diligence to support progress / stop decisions.
Alongside these, you will take on supporting work and special projects based on priorities and your profile, such as: external content creation, events, founder resources development, portfolio support, ecosystem relations, etc.
REQUIREMENTS
This role is ideal for an engineer or computer scientist who can build, reason from first principles, with enough technical foundations to navigate various domains where intelligent systems interact with the physical world:
Technical expertise in AI/ML applied to physical systems, robotics and autonomy. You hold a PhD or MS in Computer Science (ML/RL), Robotics, or related (EEng, MechEng), with applied experience in startup or industry.
Experience shipping systems in a real-world environment. You understand operational constraints such as safety, uptime and latency, human-in-the-loop workflows, and integrations with other systems.
Commercial orientation. Beyond tech alone, you enjoy thinking about product, customers, economics, deployment, manufacturing or supply chains.
First principles reasoning. You can break down a problem into its core constituents to understand what needs to be true for things to work.
Clear communicator. You can articulate complex ideas and defend a conviction with sharp memos and engaging presentations.
Talent intuition. You know a great founder when you meet them, and if you want to work with them, you know how to persuade them.
Makes things happen. Team player who moves fast, with high standards for excellence, and high ownership on projects from start to finish.
We would love to hear from you if this sounds like you
You have prior experience working with early stage startups, deep tech commercialisation, applied R&D, or industrial tech development.
You are AI native. You can combine frontier tools and human judgment to maximise productivity and leverage in your work.
You are relentlessly curious. You stay current in your own field, you enjoy learning about new domains, and you learn very fast.
You have a superpower. For example: technical mastery in a field, the ability to see patterns where others cannot, truly original ideas, high EQ and energy level, strong network in a relevant domain, extraordinary writing skills, etc.
You are playing to win. You know that venture is competitive and follows a power law, and the challenge motivates you.
You are a pragmatic optimist with a driving motivation to solve the hardest problems in physical industries, AI and climate infrastructure.
Your ability to learn on the job matters more than ticking every box.
