About the job

About the Company

Our client is a European defence-focused AI technology company with a mission to support and protect democratic societies. They develop advanced, ethical AI solutions that enable sovereign decision-making and responsible use of powerful technologies.

The organisation brings together world-class engineers, AI specialists, and programme leaders working on complex, real-world challenges. Their culture is open, transparent, and intellectually rigorous, encouraging healthy debate around technology, ethics, and impact. They are seeking mission-driven engineers who want to apply cutting-edge skills to problems of genuine global importance.

The Role

This role sits within a team that designs, builds, and deploys AI-enabled software systems and infrastructure for use in highly constrained, real-time, and safety-critical environments.

The software operates under unusual technical constraints, across rapidly changing conditions, and supports a wide range of demanding use cases. Solutions must be robust, reliable, secure, and intuitive, as they are ultimately used by people operating in high-risk, high-pressure situations.

You will work across a broad technical landscape, including but not limited to :

• Distributed systems (e.g. intermittent connectivity, adversarial environments)
• Embedded systems (e.g. constrained compute, hardware integration)
• Robotics and control systems
• Networking (e.g. low-bandwidth, long-range communications)
• Deployment infrastructure (e.g. air-gapped systems, heterogeneous fleets
• Security (e.g. low-trust networks, sensitive data handling)
• Machine learning infrastructure (model development, storage, deployment)

In many areas, the team operates close to the state of the art, often applying research-grade ideas in real-world conditions where reliability and safety are paramount.
