Creandum
Founding AI Engineer at Stealth Portfolio Company
Job Description
We’re looking for talented and driven AI Engineers who want to tackle ambitious problems
We’re an all ex-Palantir founding team trying to solve one of the biggest hidden problems in the software world. We’re looking for engineers who are driven to build the next generational company with us here in London.
🚀 Conduct AI is here to supercharge businesses process modernization
At the heart of an enterprise tech stack is the ERP: the central system of record for everything that a company does.
Large enterprises have accumulated decades’ worth of complex ERP codebases: millions of lines of code, thousands of configuration options, and large operations teams. This adds huge overhead whenever companies want to update their processes, delaying their project roadmaps by years and costing them up to hundreds of millions per company.
🧠We’re using Generative AI to untangle this complexity and enable companies to move faster than ever before
We’re giving companies transparency into how their ERPs are truly set up, mapping it out using LLMs, symbolic AI, and static analysis. This lets teams move faster and more confidently, ultimately unblocking companies from realizing their biggest projects.
🤯 We’re seeing crazy demand
We’re already working with 2 of Europe’s largest enterprises, and demand is so high we have had to put a number of multi-billion dollar companies on a waitlist. With potential 6-7 figure ACVs, we’re sprinting toward hypergrowth.
🔥 We’re looking for world-class AI Engineers
ERPs are extremely large systems, and providing explainability into them is a complex technical challenge.
We’re looking for individuals who are excited by this, and have built agentic LLM and AI systems before—bonus points if its in the code analysis space. We’re not prescriptive about years of experience.
The ideal candidate:
✅ Understands LLMs, LLM Agents, and GenAI techniques at a fundamental level
✅ Has built and maintained LLM infrastructure for complex multi-agent systems
✅ Understands how to evaluate, improve, and productionize an LLM pipeline
✅ Stays current on LLM research and judges when to use new techniques well
✅ Is framework agnostic, preferring to use the best tool to solve a problem
🕺The Team
We’re a team determined to build a generational company and excited by the scale of the challenge, and are building out a world-class engineering team to get there. Our team includes two of the world’s forefront engineers in this space, including pioneers in language runtimes and analysis for proprietary enterprise software stacks.
The founding team is fully ex-Palantir:
- 👤 Henry Thompson (CTO)
Ex-Palantir Engineering Lead for Palantir Japan, formerly engineer for ERP connection tooling. Cambridge CS Grad. - 👤 JP Haas (CEO)
Ex-Palantir Head of Sales Engineering, accountable for 8-digit ACVs. Oxford PPE Grad. - 👤 Philipp Hoefer (CPO)
Ex-Palantir AI Platform Lead, Implementation Lead for flagship automotive + insurance accounts. Oxford Economics Grad.
💎 Our Values
Our team deeply believes in the following principles:
✅ Pragmatism and focus on user outcomes. We are here to solve real-world problems and get them into the hands of users as fast as possible.
✅ Get out into the field. We are looking for engineers who are excited by working side-by-side with users, rather than wanting to build the perfect solution in a vacuum. The only truth that matters is what customers tell us.
✅ A curious mind, whose main priority is to grow every day. As an ex-Palantir team we deeply believe in the power of a truth-seeking organisation, which means we value the power of the argument over who contributed it. We firmly believe in strong opinions weakly held and thinking from first principles.
✅ We believe in the power of building side-by-side. Building the next generational company in the enterprise space requires grit, creativity and – above all – a great team spirit to push each other forward every day and have fun while doing it. All that is only achievable if everyone comes into the office. We have a centrally located office next to Baker Street station that makes it easy for everyone to commute. Plus, we have a fully stocked fridge full of snacks in case an extra incentive is needed 😋🥑.
📈 About Our Investors
We have plenty of runway thanks to backing by Creandum, Europe’s leading early-stage investor—1 in 6 of their Seed and Series A portfolio (Spotify, neo4j, Klarna, etc.) becomes a unicorn.
In their own words:
We back the companies of tomorrow before it’s obvious. We invest in early-stage entrepreneurs and support them on their way to building global, category-defining companies. Our early investments include Spotify, iZettle, Depop, Klarna, Bolt, neo4j, KRY, Epidemic Sound and Small Giant Games.
We are excited to have invested in three former Palantir engineers who we believe are on their way to define a completely new category of technology within the ERP space. The team is now hiring the first cohort of founding engineers to help make this vision a reality.
