Founding Engineer - Tech4Good - Python, AI, LLMs

I have a unique Founding Engineer opportunity with a London-based charitable platform managing c.£400M in assets across 40+ investment firms.

The organisation operates Donor Advised Funds and Collective Funds, and is now at a major inflection point. They are seeking a senior technologist to own and deliver their end-to-end technology strategy, reporting directly to the SLT and to build a modern, scalable platform from the ground up.

Founding Engineer - Tech4Good - Python, AI, LLMs

Key aspects of the role:

• Full ownership of technical strategy and architecture

• Phased system implementation (CRM → grant-making → financial ledger)

• Build vs buy decision-making responsibility

• Integration across multi-entity, multi-currency financial structures

• AI/LLM-enabled workflow automation

• No existing internal tech team — this is a founding role

Location: Central London (2–3 days/week in office - with long-term flex for more remote working)

Salary: £80K–£120K

This would suit someone who enjoys high ownership, building from first principles, and working in a mission-driven environment where technology directly enables charitable impact.
