Elyos AI – Founding Solutions Engineer

📍 Location: Old Street, London, UK (Onsite, 5 days a week)

Mission

We’re building the next generation of customer service with AI Agents. Our agents answer calls, reply to emails and WhatsApp messages, make bookings, take payments, and operate the CRM in the same way a human would.

About Elyos AI

We founded Elyos in June 2023 and took part in the Y Combinator S23 batch. We spent four months in San Francisco living and breathing AI. Since then, we’ve been growing revenue ~30% month on month and shipping fast. It’s been wild so far — and we’re just getting started. We recently raised a $13m series A to turbocharge our growth.

Why join us?

If you love building from zero, working directly with customers, and shipping real software that solves messy real-world problems, this role is for you. As a Founding Solutions Engineer, you’ll sit right at the intersection of engineering, product, and customers — shaping both what we build and how it’s deployed in the real world.

You’ll work hands-on with LLMs, Speech-to-Text, Text-to-Speech, Voice Activity Detection, and workflow automation to help real businesses handle calls, book jobs, take payments, and deliver best-in-class customer service.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Founding Solutions Engineer to join Elyos as one of our earliest technical hires outside the core engineering team. You’ll work closely with Adrian (CEO), product, and engineering to design, build, and deploy AI agents directly with customers.

In this role you’ll be:

• Building real implementations

• Writing code and configs

• Debugging live customer workflows

• Turning bespoke customer solutions into reusable product primitives

You’ll be the person who makes “this should work in theory” actually work in production.
