Founders and Coders is launching an advanced programme for experienced engineers navigating the rapidly evolving AI engineering landscape. We are creating a structured environment where software and data engineers develop practical AI engineering skills, share implementation strategies across organisations, and build a lasting community of practice. Participants gain dedicated time each week to experiment with cutting-edge AI tools, solve production challenges, and accelerate their transition from traditional engineering to AI-native development.

AI-Native Engineering Skills Learn AI tools that speed up everyday engineering: agentic coding, multi-agent systems, RAG architectures. Practice techniques weekly that apply directly to current projects, from automating repetitive work to shipping features faster.
Practical Ways to Improve Existing Products Add AI capabilities to current applications. Work with LLMs, semantic search, and natural language interfaces. Learn what works in production: handling real constraints around cost, latency, and scale.
Rapid Prototyping for New Products Build working prototypes quickly to test ideas. Validate market opportunities with minimal investment, creating MVPs in days rather than months. Share approaches with peers exploring similar challenges.
Community of Practice and Expert Guidance Join 20 engineers navigating the same transition. Learn from practitioners who've solved production challenges, share implementation strategies across organisations, and build a lasting network.
Recognised Qualification at No Cost Earn a Level 6 (degree-level) apprenticeship certificate in ML engineering, fully funded through the Apprenticeship Levy.
