We'd also consider AI Software Engineers and Forward Deployed Engineers. Multiple positions available.

We’re supporting a rapidly growing AI and intelligence technology business delivering cutting edge solutions within the defence and national security space. This organisation is building advanced AI driven platforms that help turn complex, high-volume data into actionable intelligence used in real world operational environments.

As part of continued growth, they’re looking for AI Engineers to help design, develop, and deploy scalable AI systems across a variety of greenfield and mission critical projects. You’ll work alongside high calibre engineers, data scientists, and product teams building next generation capabilities leveraging LLMs, machine learning, knowledge graphs, retrieval systems, and modern cloud infrastructure.

The environment is highly technical, fast moving, and engineering focused, making it an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys solving difficult problems and building production ready AI systems with real world impact.

What you’ll be doing:

• Building and deploying AI powered applications and services

• Working with LLMs, RAG pipelines, vector databases, and agent-based workflows

• Designing scalable backend systems and data pipelines

• Collaborating with cross functional engineering and product teams

Tech stack / experience of interest:

• Python

• LLMs and Generative AI

• RAG architectures

• Vector databases

The ideal person will likely come from an AI startup, advanced technology business, or engineering led environment where they’ve had exposure to building real AI products rather than purely academic research. Candidates who’ve demonstrated initiative through side projects, startups, open-source contributions, or personal AI experimentation will be viewed very positively.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business at the forefront of applied AI within a genuinely meaningful domain, with strong funding, exciting technical challenges, and the ability to work on technology deployed in real world scenarios.
