AI-driven B2B growth and strategy platform
About us
STRATOS builds the commercial digital twin that large industrial companies run on. We work with global B2B companies to synchronize strategy and execution and ensure commercial success is driven by potential, not gut feel or old data. STRATOS is a category-defining, rapidly growing startup, profitable and majority founder-owned with our Series A still ahead of us, funded by high-profile investors (e.g., Accel) and trusted by 15 global industrial leaders and Fortune 500 customers. Our software integrates complex datasets into a unified solution, combining deep data integration, best-in-class workflows, and cutting-edge generative AI.
The role
Take messy data from some of Europe's biggest industrial companies and ship it into production systems that their leaders and sales teams use every day. There are no slide decks and no hand-offs: you scope it, build it, ship it and see it change how a business sells.
What you'll do
Own client deployments end to end, from the first conversation with a client's team through to production
Build data pipelines in PySpark, Python and SQL that bring ERP, CRM and market data together into one model
Ship AI agents and workflows on Palantir Foundry and AIP that commercial teams use every day
Work directly with client leaders to understand what matters to them, then decide what to build and what not to
Feed what you learn back into the core product, so each deployment makes the next one faster
Your first 90 days
Month 1: Get to know the platform and the team, and ship your first pipeline to production.
Month 2: Own a workstream on a live client deployment.
Month 3: Take the lead with the client's team on what you're building.
You might be a fit if you
Have 0–4 years' experience in data engineering, software engineering or analytics
Write strong Python, PySpark and SQL
Can turn a vague business problem into clean, maintainable pipelines
Pick up new tools fast and want real responsibility early
Would rather build at a fast-growing company than wait your turn at a big one. Startup or top-tier consultancy backgrounds are both welcome
Nice to have
TypeScript, API development or dashboarding tools
Airflow, dbt or Databricks
Experience with ERP (SAP, Oracle) or CRM data
Palantir Foundry or AIP
Why engineers join us
Big clients, small team. Some of the biggest names in industry, served by a team of 40. Your work reaches their leadership in weeks, not years.
Own the stack. We fully control our stack and choose our tools. No committees, no tickets passed between five teams, no egos.
Built to last. Profitable, founder-led and majority founder-owned, backed by high-profile investors (e.g., Accel), with our Series A still ahead of us. That means growth on our terms and real upside for early joiners.
Learn from people who've done it. Founders who have run a $1B business, plus people from Palantir, McKinsey and BCG, all in the same room.
In person, on purpose. Three days a week together in Farringdon. Fast feedback, fast decisions and fast shipping.

AI-driven B2B growth and strategy platform
STRATOS Technologies offers an AI-powered B2B SaaS platform, the STRATOS Commercial Digital Twin, which acts as a Strategy Operating System by building a digital replica of a client’s business and market through integrating external data (like market signals) with internal CRM and ERP data. The system uses AI to score and micro-target the most attractive growth opportunities across markets, products, and customers, and provides workflows for go-to-market strategy, sales optimization, financial planning, and automated marketing. It differentiates itself by delivering an end-to-end data-integrated platform designed for large, complex portfolios—serving Fortune 500 companies and private equity clients in fragmented markets such as construction, specialty chemicals, and life sciences. The goal is to enable sustainable growth by synchronizing strategy and execution across dispersed portfolios through a unified commercial operating system.
