InstaLILY is an AI products and infrastructure company that puts execution at the frontier of enterprise AI. That work begins with Lily™, the world's first AI Forward Deployed Engineer, which learns how a business works, builds the software it needs, and goes live in days. It does not leave when the work ships; it stays and keeps the software working as the business changes. Lily runs wherever the work happens, in the cloud, on-premise, or at the edge, through InstaLILY's Small Data Center, built with NVIDIA technology. Founded in 2023 by Amit Shah and Sumantro Das, InstaLILY has raised nearly $100 million from Energize Capital, Insight Partners, and Home Depot Ventures. Headquartered in New York, with offices in San Francisco, London, and Toronto, InstaLILY serves leading companies across construction, industrial distribution, logistics, healthcare, and other operationally intensive industries.

The Traction
Revenue grew 5x over the past year, and Lily has driven over $200M in new annual sales for a single customer. We serve some of the largest operators in our industries, including SRS Distribution (part of The Home Depot family), United Rentals, and Henry Schein, and we work closely with the Google DeepMind and NVIDIA ecosystems.
How We Work
We work in small teams with real ownership: clear problems, direct access to the customers whose work you're changing, and room to ship. Your code runs in live production systems inside billion-dollar operations, so you see your impact directly. People who do well here want that proximity to the work. We're growing fast, and the people who join now shape what this company becomes. Everything runs on three principles: Customers, Culture, and Code.
Responsibilities
- Continue to develop the core AI platform and drive technical excellence throughout the organization.
- Work closely with cross-functional teams (product, UI/UX, business development) to design and implement new features and capabilities.
- Rapidly learn into the expected quality and reliability of the platform through comprehensive testing and continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices.
- Build a rapport with the Lead Software Engineer and Head of Product while fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
- Collaborate with the product and design teams to deliver high-quality products that meet customer needs.
- Stay up-to-date with the latest AI and software engineering trends and technologies.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, Mathematics, Physics or a related field.
- First Class degree preferred.
- 0 to 2 years of experience as a software engineer (prior software engineering internships and experience/projects a significant plus).
- Passion for understanding AI and machine learning technologies.
- Experience with Python, JavaScript, and other programming languages.
- Understanding of cloud computing technologies OR experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Track record of delivering successful products / working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment is a plus.
What You'll Get
- Real traction: The product works, customers are live, and we've already driven over $200M in incremental revenue for customers — this isn't a bet on an unproven thesis.
- Deep partnerships: Backed by Insight Partners with deep ecosystem partnerships across Google, NVIDIA, and Microsoft. InstaLILY's architecture has been featured in Google DeepMind's case study showcase.
- Customer impact: You'll drive measurable operational change inside the customers you own.
- Stage: Early enough to shape how InstaLILY runs customer relationships and expansion at scale.
- Culture: Offices in New York, San Francisco, and London — sharp, low-ego team moving fast.
- Growth: The learning curve is steep
Compensation and Benefits
- Salary Range: £54,000–£62,000 per year, commensurate with experience
- Equity: Generous stock options awards, and refreshers for top performers
- Benefits: Supplemental benefits, pension contribution, in-office Lunch reimbursement, Wellbeing Stipend, Generous Parental leave, PTO and UK National Holidays, and more!
