Software Engineer at Electric Twin
Join an elite engineering team in Soho building a behavioral simulation platform that is revolutionizing how global organizations make decisions. Backed by Atomico, LocalGlobe, and Marc Andreessen, this startup uses digital twins of real populations to provide 95% accurate answers 10,000x faster than traditional methods. As an early engineer, you’ll escape the ticket queue to own complex systems end-to-end, working directly with founders to scale a platform already spanning 155 countries. If you are a Mid, Senior, or Principal engineer looking for high ownership and meaningful equity, this is the role for you.

What you will do
- Design and implement the services, data models, and APIs that make large-scale behavioral simulations reliable and reusable.
- Collaborate directly with data scientists and designers to turn validated research into robust, customer-facing product features.
- Take ownership of the entire development lifecycle, making critical trade-offs between speed and rigour to ship high-impact software.
Who you are
Who this is a fit for
- Proven track record of owning meaningful product areas end-to-end in a startup or high-growth engineering environment.
- Strong proficiency in modern software engineering practices, with experience or a willingness to master Python, FastAPI, and TypeScript.
- Exceptional judgment under uncertainty and a bias for shipping and iterating rather than waiting for perfect specifications.
Why this role
Why this role is remarkable
- Backed by top-tier investors including Atomico, LocalGlobe, and Marc Andreessen, with a founding team led by former UK government and military advisors.
- Rare opportunity to build a product that is 10,000x faster than traditional behavioral research methods with 95% accuracy.
- High-ownership culture with no ticket queues or bureaucratic layers, located in a collaborative Soho office with genuine work-life balance.
