ABOUT SHIFT
Shift is an early-stage UK startup building an AI agent platform for enterprise transformation. Instead of large delivery teams, our agents handle the research, planning, building and validation behind complex programmes.

THE ROLE
You'll own the intelligence layer of the platform end to end: designing, building and improving the agent systems that make it work. This is systems engineering applied to AI, not prompt tinkering.

You'll be the technical authority on the product, working with the Product Owner. They own the what and the why. You own the how. Senior role, real ownership, full autonomy. No layers, no politics.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- Production experience building with leading LLM APIs, well beyond toy projects
- Strong Python and a track record building robust services
- Hands-on experience grounding agents in real context
- Systems thinking and a bias for shipping
- Comfort with ambiguity

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
