Founder's Associate

Founder's Associate | Start-up | Cybersecurity & AI | London | Hybrid About the Company

Hyre AI is partnering with a fast-growing, well-funded cybersecurity company on a mission to solve one of the biggest challenges on the modern internet: proving who's human in a world dominated by bots, scripts, and AI impersonators. Their technology protects some of the most trusted names in financial services and beyond, and they've just raised a multi-million seed round to accelerate growth.

Now they're hiring a founder's associate to join a small, exceptional team building the future of online trust.

As a Founder's Associate, you'll work directly with the founders, supporting how the company explores, applies, and scales AI across the business. This is a highly exposed role where you'll sit close to decision-making, helping turn ideas into action in an environment where priorities are evolving quickly as the company grows.

• You'll be involved in building processes across the business, helping shape how projects are scoped, tested, and delivered in practice.
• You'll work alongside founders, engineers, and product leaders to understand what the technology is doing, why it matters, and how it fits into the wider company strategy.
• You'll help capture and structure feedback from customers and the market, supporting better prioritisation and decision making.
• You'll explore how AI can be used across the company to improve how work gets done, supporting experimentation with tools, workflows, and systems.

NB:
Please note, this role requires 3-4 days on-site in the office, ~5 minutes from Liverpool Street Station.

• Strong organisation and follow through: you can take a messy problem and turn it into clear next steps
• Comfort in ambiguity: you don't need constant direction to make progress
• Excellent communication: you can write clearly, summarise well, and keep people aligned
• Interest in startups: you're excited by early-stage environments and moving fast
• AI curiosity: you've used AI tools and/or been involved in AI-related projects (uni, personal, internship, anything)
• Good judgement and discretion: you can handle sensitive context and represent the company well
• Bonus: experience working a startup environment, with small and agile teams.

• Salary range: £30,000 - £40,000
• Stock options: share in the company's growth
• Employer matched pension
• High impact learning, mentorship, and exposure to real production systems

If you want to:

• Build a career at the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and real-world systems
• Learn directly from experienced engineers and founders
• Develop skills that compound rapidly rather than doing narrow, repetitive work
• Be trusted early and grow into larger responsibilities over time

This is an exceptional place to start and shape your career
