Kernel - one of the UK's fastest growing small tech companies

Excited to see Kernel on cord’s UK tech hiring rankings 🥳

Honestly, with how much we’ve been hiring, we’re surprised we’re not at the top yet (big shoutout to De-Vene Swanepoel, Zak Benney and David Bentham).

We’ve brought some amazing people on board, and we’re just getting started.

We’re looking for ambitious, low-ego people ready to do the best work of their careers.

Every day, we process 30B+ tokens (that’s 7x all of Wikipedia's English content) and run 1.8M+ agents, all on an intentionally simple architecture: one database, one queue.

There aren’t many startups where engineers can work at this scale with AI and have this much ownership over how things get built.

If you join our engineering team, you’ll:
- Own infrastructure that powers billions of operations
- Ship features impacting real customer workflows
- Build with LLMs, data pipelines, and distributed systems in production
- Work side by side with founders and early engineers

We’re a small but mighty team solving huge problems and building something that lasts.
