Scope automates the data collection that's slowing down the physical world.

Standards are vital for the safety of our infrastructure. Spending hours manually documenting them is not.

Dave is an inspector. Today he's climbing through one of Europe's biggest chemical plants, looking for the corrosion that could shut the whole site down, with a notebook and pen in hand. Tomorrow, he'll spend even longer on the part of the job he hates: turning those scribbles into a report.

We're building the best AI-native data collection layer for the 2 billion field workers like Dave. Scope radically simplifies how inspectors collect data in the field, make decisions, and produce reports. Along the way, we're building the world's largest dataset on the condition of the built world and the decisions experts make about it.

It's a $2T market and we're just getting started, with ambitions. We have grown revenue 10x in the last year and on track to reach 10M ARR in 2026. We work with 6 of the top 10 companies in the space. Our customers inspect facilities and products for companies including AstraZeneca and SpaceX.

We've assembled a best-in-class team: acquired and future founders, people from institutions like Imperial, Carnegie Mellon and Oxford, and from firms like Goldman Sachs, Flexport and Amazon.

Since launching from Entrepreneurs First in 2024, we've raised $4m in seed funding from Susa Ventures across two rounds and raised an oversubscribed $20m round led by Index Ventures (backers of Figma, Revolut and Wiz - 100+ unicorns to date).

About the role

You'll own problems end to end. You won't be handed tickets and asked to stay in your lane. You'll talk to users, decide what matters, design the solution, ship it, and see whether it worked.

We work in person five days a week from our sunny office in Farringdon. We believe being together helps us move faster and solve problems more effectively and it's also more fun!

We're looking for people who want to help invent what inspection software should look like in a post AI world.

What you'll do
Spend time with inspectors in factories and chemical plants. Understand how they work and redesign the mobile app with them
• Build the systems that takes voice notes, photos, videos and proactively finishes reports without being annoying
• Engineer how we feed context to AI models: how to store, fetch and select standards, reports, media, user intention
• Evolve our workflow builder, something between Retool, Webflow and n8n for inspections

Who you are

We believe great teams are made up of highly agentic managers of one. People who care more about shipping results than collecting badges.

You should apply if you are deeply technical, are a little bit sad that AI tooling creates more distance between yourself and the code, and want to own problems end to end.

Interview process

  • An initial call
  • A collaborative technical exercise with an engineer
  • An Interview with a cofounder - Jonny (CEO) or Jakob (CTO)
  • Onsite Product Interview - Meeting more people on the team and getting a feel of what it would be like to work here.
  • Offer!

Compensation and benefits

£80,000 - £120,000 + equity

Visa sponsorship available - We welcome top talent globally and will support the visa process. Please let us know when you apply.

Dinners + team lunch on Fridays paid for by Scope
