We are hiring for an ambitious and highly capable graduate to join our growing team as a Project Engineer, working closely with Seniors and their CEO during the business’ next period of growth. This is an extremely exciting opportunity for someone looking to kick-start their career in a start-up, with full training provided and the opportunity to diversify and shape your long-term career.
It’s an exciting time for Aluma, who have a quickly-growing customer base and a set of customers who are excited about the Aluma platform. The platform has been built on very solid technical foundations over several years and the company is profitable and secure. The signing of a large new customer has provided the resources to scale the team and exploit the potential to disrupt a stagnant market with old, expensive, under-performing competitors. 👀

Some coding experience is beneficial (the role is not a coding role, but there may be requirements to implement project-specific functionality or to prototype algorithmic approaches to a specific problem).
Experience of working with LLM’s in a business context is beneficial, but not required.
A personable individual looking to jump head-first into a professional role.
Office requirements
We are in the process of opening our Cambridge office, so this role will be fully on-site for the first 2-3 months (during training period), switching to hybrid, with roughly 2-3 days in the office per week thereafter.
Due to the nature of the role, we feel in-person collaboration will help you develop and shine.
Benefits
