London holds Europe's deepest AI + fintech capital pool, yet post-Brexit sponsor caps have made senior hires slow and dear. The binding constraint isn't talent — it's leaders who ship fast and keep the team intact. That is precisely the gap Fauzul closes.
The numbers that make the London case before a single interview.
What lands in the first quarter
- →Ship payments-grade infrastructure without the burn — 300% TTM at 97% retention.
- →Stand up LLM/RAG product surfaces (NewScriber, TagRamp) that survive enterprise scrutiny.
- →Lead while coding: an EM who still ships production PRs daily — the archetype London underpays for.
Where the demand is
Tap any sector to ask who's hiring and how Fauzul fits.
Series A→C teams scaling payments infra. 97% retention + 300% TTM track from ELO is exactly the velocity-without-burn profile they hire.
AI products need engineers who sit with customers. 8 yrs of EU client delivery + LLM/RAG production builds (NewScriber, TagRamp) maps directly.
EM/coder hybrids in short supply. Fauzul leads while writing production code daily — fits the rare archetype.
2-3 days/week, 3 mo minimum. Pre-Brexit talent thinning makes fractional senior eng the bridge to permanent CTO hires.
