Location: London · In-person · Full-time
with relocation to San Francisco
We're hiring a founding engineer who moves fast, cares about craft, and wants real ownership from day one. You'll build side by side with the founders, in person in London, from day one.
You should already use AI tools by default — pushing Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and agent workflows hard, judging output critically, and moving faster without lowering the bar.
Sparkles was founded by Dan, who dropped out of University College London and previously worked with the former CTO of Monzo at Iterate.com. We raised $3.5M, backed by Y Combinator, Moonfire Ventures, and angels from OpenAI, Anthropic, a16z, General Catalyst, Cloudflare, and others.

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
