AI Systems Engineer

Sourcing Location: South America, but happy to welcome candidates that are within -5H of UK time
Working Hours: 9AM - 5PM UK Time
Compensation: $2,000 - $2,500

We are a venture capital fund investing in early stage gaming and AI startups. We've built our own internal AI systems to run the firm, and we need someone to help us build more of it, faster.

The role

You'll work directly with our AI & Data Operations lead, on the systems that power how our team operates day-to-day. Internal tools, integrations, LLM-powered workflows, and the backend infrastructure underneath all of it — practical work that gets used immediately and has to hold up over time. The goal isn’t extra engineering capacity — it’s expanding what our internal AI layer can carry.

What you'll actually do

Build and maintain the backend infrastructure behind our internal AI systems
Design and manage the databases that power our workflows
Build internal tools and services that make our investment team faster
Wire up LLMs into real workflows — investment diligence, meeting prep, CRM enrichment, research,
Pair with your direct partner to keep things simple and shippable
Own reliability for the systems you ship — what was episodic project work last year is now a steady operating load
Collaborate directly with our investment team — on what to build next

Who we're looking for

2-5 years of hands-on coding experience — CS degree or equivalent
Real backend and database experience — you've designed schemas, written non-trivial queries, and shipped infrastructure that real users depend on
Solid fundamentals: you can read, write, and debug real code across at least one mainstream language (Python or TypeScript ideal)
Comfortable with APIs, cloud infrastructure (GCP a plus), and stitching systems together
Fluent with AI coding tools — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar — and noticeably faster with them than without
Strong written English and async communication
High agency: you can take a vague idea and turn it into a working thing without needing the spec written for you
