About the job

Scope is building an AI-powered platform to revolutionize the inspection industry, transforming a space where billion-dollar enterprises still rely on manual, pen-and-paper processes. With $4M in pre-seed funding from top-tier investors who backed Stripe, Lime, Discord, and Flexport, Scope is scaling rapidly and already works with some of the largest global Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) companies. As a Founding Engineer, you will be a key architect of both technology and company direction, building full-stack features, working directly with enterprise users, and shaping product strategy in an environment similar to forward-deployed engineering. You will own decisions end-to-end, from conversations with inspectors in factories and ammonia plants to designing and delivering scalable solutions using technologies like Typescript, NextJS, and NestJS. This role offers fast growth, high ownership, and the chance to solve massive real-world problems with meaningful impact. We are seeking someone with strong full-stack skills, passion for design and usability, high agency, and ideally, prior startup or 0–1 product-building experience. Compensation includes £80k–£120k salary, equity, visa sponsorship for global talent, and team perks like company dinners. This role is based onsite in London, where we embrace a dynamic and fast-moving culture. If you thrive in uncertain, high-impact environments and want to help define the future of AI-powered industrial automation, this is the place to be.
