Job Title: Founding Engineer, Full Stack

Salary: Up to £100k + Equity

Company Description: Elyndra - VC-backed social care startup with YC-exited founders

Job Description: As the Founding Engineer at Elyndra, you will lead the technical development of an AI-first platform designed to fix the UK's broken £96bn social care sector. Working directly with YC-exited founders, you will architect and build software that automates administrative burdens, ensuring vulnerable children find stable placements faster and more reliably.

Location: London, UK

Why this role is remarkable:

• Rare opportunity to join as a founding hire with generous early-stage equity and direct influence on the company's technical DNA.
• Backed by leading VCs and a strategic PE partner owning 160+ care homes, providing a clear, validated route to massive scale.
• Mission-driven work where your code directly improves outcomes for vulnerable children by removing friction from critical decision-making processes.

What you will do:

• Lead the end-to-end technical roadmap, making critical architecture decisions that balance rapid iteration with long-term system stability.
• Design and implement intuitive UIs and robust backend services that translate complex data into actionable insights for non-technical care workers.
• Integrate LLM services and AI features into the core product while maintaining high standards for security and sensitive data handling.

The ideal candidate:

• Full-stack expert proficient in Python and React, with a proven track record of building and scaling secure cloud-based applications.
• High-agency, product-first engineer who has previously thrived in early-stage startups or built sophisticated side products from scratch.
• Experienced in integrating LLMs and implementing security best practices (GDPR) for handling highly sensitive personal data within the healthcare or social care space.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network. Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description. We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
