About Deliverance AI

Deliverance AI is the Enterprise Agentic Operating System, the agentic control plane that sits above an enterprise's data and model planes, where agents are orchestrated, governed, and made accountable to the board. The platform ships with 100+ pre-built agents and 150+ skills, deploys across five modes (hyperscale, neocloud, sovereign, on-premise, and air-gapped), and bundles a forward-deployed engineering team into every subscription. We are UK-founded and built for the regulated enterprise: trust enforced at runtime, ROI measured per workflow, and value delivered in weeks, not years.

About the role

As a Staff Engineer on Agent Runtime, you own the heart of the Agentic OS, the execution engine that orchestrates agents and swarms reliably, safely, and at scale.

This is a Staff role on our Platform Engineering team, London · Remote.

What you'll do

  • Design and build the agent/swarm execution engine, scheduling, state, tool-calling, and HITL gates.
  • Make multi-agent orchestration reliable, observable and recoverable in production.
  • Define the runtime APIs that the applied-AI and FDE teams build on.
  • Set the engineering bar for the platform team as we scale.

What we're looking for

  • Deep distributed-systems and backend experience; you've built reliable execution/orchestration systems.
  • Strong opinions on API design, observability and failure handling.
  • Experience with LLM/agent runtimes a strong plus.
  • Staff-level technical leadership and mentorship.

How we work

We run on five operating values: trusted at runtime, proof over pitch, speed with control, customer-embedded, and earned reliability. We are not a research lab or a slide deck, we ship software that the board, the CISO, and the auditor all sign off on, and we are measured on whether they did.

What we offer

  • Seed-stage equity, a material allocation for every hire, with a Series A decision targeted for late 2026.
  • Market-leading cash compensation, benchmarked to top-tier London and remote markets.
  • Remote-friendly across the UK, EU and select global timezones (FDE and revenue roles are location-anchored).
