Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
The role involves owning the end-to-end process of turning fuzzy ideas into proven retail features using AI and rapid prototyping. You will test these features with real shoppers and hand validated versions to the engineering team for durable implementation.
Candidates must blend a strong instinct for shopper desires with high-level agentic coding skills to build prototypes quickly. The role requires a high-intensity drive and a desire to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
Grocery retail is among the industries that are best positioned to benefit from AI. Retailers create huge volumes of data across a plethora of domains (Customer, Supplier, Store, Staff, Energy, Transport, Supply Chain etc.), but today most grocers come nowhere close to using this data to its full potential. Retailers today are united in their belief that AI will define the next era of competitiveness yet most have only scratched the surface of its potential.
algo1 was born to correct this.
Mission matters to us. There are plenty of great startups that can give you autonomy, pace, and the feeling of being in it together. What makes us different is how we obsess over grocery and the shopper. If you want to change an experience that touches everyone, this is the right place.
This is a role that blends curiosity and execution: you imagine how in-store retail could feel, code it with AI, and get it in front of shoppers. You rapidly iterate, observing shoppers as you test prototyped features, looking at how they respond, then deciding if the feature makes the cut. Successful features are handed to engineering to review, refine and commit to the live product, all at pace.
How you build is key to success too. We're agentic-first, we've built our own coding harness, and everyone works on max plans, so you'll never be rate-limited. The only limit will be your ability to imagine what shoppers truly value.
Own an idea end to end, from a concept to a proven feature.
Research market trends, shopper behaviour, and competitor offerings to formulate initial concepts.
Code a feature and iterate rapidly, observing shoppers as you test prototyped features.
Evaluate shopper feedback and sentiment to determine if a feature makes the cut.
Provide Engineering a validated feature so they can build the durable version.
The person who thrives in this role will blend an instinct for what shoppers desire with the agentic coding skill to build their ideas fast. We are a startup and that inevitably means a high-intensity environment. We're looking for capability, drive and a desire to make a meaningful difference. The right person will always have been a bit obsessive about the things they care about.
This role sits under our Head of B2C Product. It's a great fit for someone who wants to bridge coding and product: a product role at heart, but built for an exceptional coder who wants to be close to customers and help solve real problems.
We get our energy from being together, and this is primarily an office based role. It will suit someone who loves the quick conversations and the connection of building something together in a fast paced environment. We're on what we think is the best garden square in London, a couple of minutes from Tottenham Court Road, so it's an easy place to get to and a good place to be.
Backed by leading VCs, we pay competitive salaries for top talent and give meaningful equity.
