# AI Operations Engineer at Conduct

- **Company:** Conduct
- **Location:** London, United Kingdom
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-06-16
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-11
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/conduct/63400fc3-6839-41ee-af7f-978efe6ef9f0

## Job description

TL;DR: You'll make Conduct the most productive company per headcount by embedding AI into every workflow that matters - across GTM, finance, ops, and engineering. You understand what our developers are building, you can build alongside them, and you have the strategic instinct to know where automation creates the most leverage.

## Why Conduct

We believe the world's largest companies should move at the speed of their ideas, not the speed of the decade-old systems they run on. Today they don't. Every process change, every new product line runs into SAP systems layered with decades of custom code and complexity no human mind can fully comprehend. New requirements take months to ship, system migrations cost $100M+ and years of pain. We're building the AI operating system that absorbs this complexity and gives enterprises back their speed and ambition. Major enterprises already trust us with their most critical systems, we've closed game-changing SI partnerships, just raised a $60M Series A, and demand is outpacing what we can service. We're a small, talent-dense team doing our life's work out of London and NYC. Extreme ownership, high velocity, low-ego collaboration. What you build here shapes the company and how the world's largest companies operate. We sponsor visas and are convinced diverse teams build better products, so we especially encourage underrepresented groups in tech to reach out.

## What you'll own

The mandate is simple: make every team at Conduct dramatically more productive through AI. You'll identify the highest-leverage opportunities across the company, build and deploy the automations, and own adoption end-to-end. You'll work as closely with our engineering team as you will with sales and ops - understanding what we're building technically, contributing to developer productivity workflows, and building internal tooling that makes our engineers faster. In practice:

- Partner directly with functional leads across GTM, product, finance, and ops to identify and prioritise the highest-impact automation opportunities
- Build and deploy AI agents, automations, and internal tooling, using both code-first approaches and modern low-code platforms depending on what's right for the job
- Work closely with the engineering team to understand what we're building technically, contribute to developer productivity workflows, and build automations that make engineers faster
- Build and maintain internal knowledge systems that compound in value over time

Who we hire We're looking for someone who sits at the intersection of technical depth and operational instinct. You've built real things, not just mapped processes or written strategy docs. You understand how software gets built, you're comfortable working alongside engineers, and you bring enough commercial awareness to know which problems are actually worth solving. In practice that tends to look like:

- 2+ years in a technical operations, solutions engineering, internal tools, or technical product role. You've been close to engineering teams and you know how to work with them, not just around them.
- Genuinely technical. You're comfortable with code-first approaches and can prototype real workflows, not just wire together low-code tools. You understand what our developers are building and can contribute meaningfully to engineering productivity.
- Hands-on with modern AI tooling. You've built real workflows using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, n8n, Clay, Gumloop, or similar and you have strong opinions about when to use what.
- A sharp process thinker. You spot inefficiency fast, know how to prioritise ruthlessly, and design solutions that actually get adopted.
- High ownership, low ego. You're as comfortable doing the hands-on build as you are presenting a business case to leadership. No task is beneath you if it moves things forward.

## About Conduct

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Conduct provides an AI operating system that understands, operates, and modernizes complex legacy enterprise software systems, starting with SAP.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom
- **Founded**: 2024
- **Founders**: Jan Philipp Haas (Co-Founder & CEO), Henry Thompson (Co-Founder & CTO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Enterprise AI / Software Development
- **Target customers**: Large enterprises running complex legacy ERP systems (SAP), IT operations teams, and consulting firms managing system migrations.
- **Mission statement**: "To make IT the innovation powerhouse of every company."

## Products & Services
- **Conduct AI Platform**: An AI operating system that reads and understands custom code, dependencies, and configurations across enterprise systems. It enables system migration (e.g., S/4HANA) planning 83% faster, reduces delivery time for new features by 50%, and cuts manual system analysis by 80%. Users can "chat directly with their systems" to resolve major business issues in days instead of months.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Total Funding**: ~$72M ($12M Seed in Oct 2025, $60M Series A in June 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Index Ventures (co-lead), Iconiq (co-lead), SAP (strategic investor), Creandum, Lucid Capital, Booom.
- **Key Customers**: Daimler Truck, Heidelberg Materials, DHL.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 240% YoY (to ~35 employees), actively hiring in London and NYC. Backed by top-tier VCs and a strategic investment from SAP itself.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Deep Moat**: Solves the "opacity problem" of legacy enterprise code. Decades of customization have made systems like SAP indecipherable to humans and AI agents alike. Conduct's ability to read and understand this code is a foundational layer that competitors cannot easily replicate.
- **Strategic Backing**: Having SAP as an investor is a powerful signal and provides unique market access.
- **Founding Team**: Founders are former Palantir employees, known for building mission-critical, high-complexity data systems.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current Priority**: Expanding engineering and go-to-market teams to scale the platform from its current customer base (Daimler, Heidelberg, DHL) to the broader Fortune 500. The company is also building a US presence (NYC office).
- **Direction**: To become the "AI operating system" for all enterprise software, moving beyond SAP to other legacy systems, and enabling AI agents to operate on any enterprise system.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture & Team**: "Every team member is a builder at heart." The team includes alumni from Palantir, G-Research, Sana, and Sequoia. They describe the work as "one of the most complex problems of our generation."
- **Work Policy**: Hybrid offices in London (HQ) and New York City (NYC).
- **Benefits**: Top-of-market pay, tax-efficient share options, three meals a day, private health and dental, ClassPass, Cycle to Work scheme, pension, and two company offsites a year.
- **Engineering Culture**: Deeply technical and product-oriented. Open roles include Product Engineer, Backend Engineer, ABAP AI Developer, and AI Operations Engineer.
