Our Defence team is focused on building and embedding human-centered AI solutions which give our nation a competitive edge in the defence sector. We collaborate with our clients to bring ethical, reliable and cutting-edge AI to high-stakes situations and maintain the balance of global powers essential to our liberty.
Because of the nature of the work we do with our Defence clients, you will need to be eligible for UK Security Clearance (SC) and willing to work between 2 to 4 days per week on-site with these customers which may require travel to locations throughout the UK.
When not required on client sites, you’ll have the flexibility to work from our London office or remotely from elsewhere within the UK.
As a Lead Software Engineer, you will spearhead our backend and edge/IoT engineering for high-stakes Defence projects, implementing patterns and practices that are both scalable and future-proof. You will bridge the gap between proof-of-concept and robust systems, raising the engineering bar across your team and the wider business unit.
