Founding Engineer at ThinkDivergent — Building the Neurodevelopmental OS
ThinkDivergent is looking for its first Founding Engineer to build the 'Neurodevelopmental Operating System'—an AI-powered platform transforming ADHD and autism care. With live NHS contracts and actual revenue, this isn't a concept; it's a scaling system. You'll work directly with the CTO in an AI-first environment, using tools like Cursor and Claude to build production-grade healthcare software. If you have a passion for high-impact engineering, a natural feel for intuitive UI, and a desire to help the 1 in 5 people who are neurodivergent, this high-equity founding role in London is for you.
