The Opportunity

Join a mission-driven AI company developing the software foundation for the next generation of autonomous systems and robotics.


In this highly hands-on role, you’ll work directly with customers to deploy and integrate advanced AI into complex, real-world environments, from defence to autonomous operations. You’ll have high ownership, deep technical challenges, and a clear line of sight from your code to real-world impact.

  • Collaborate with AI researchers, roboticists, and systems engineers to build robust, scalable solutions
  • Write clean, production-grade code in Python, C++, or Java, and develop tooling using React/TypeScript

  • Occasionally travel to customer sites across the UK and internationally


Why Join

  • Join a high-growth AI startup deploying real-world autonomous systems
  • Work alongside a world-class engineering team (ex-Palantir, Microsoft, defence tech)
  • Thrive in an engineering-led culture with autonomy, ownership, and purpose
  • Build technology that’s shaping the future of autonomy


This is a hands-on engineering role at the frontier of AI and robotics, perfect for someone who wants to see their software power intelligent systems operating in the real world.
