  • Fully funded private healthcare for UK employees, with broad provider access, virtual and in‑person care, and strong mental health and serious illness support.

  • Pension scheme with a total 8% contribution (5% employee, 3% employer) on full earnings.

  • Free daily breakfast, catered lunch, and snacks in‑office.

  • Collaboration with top‑tier engineers, researchers, and product experts in AI and robotics.

  • Freedom to influence the product and own key initiatives.
