Join a fast-growing UK defence-AI organisation building a sovereign, mission-critical AI operating system used across MoD environments. They specialise in secure, deploy-anywhere AI. From cloud to air-gapped systems and are backed by major defence partners.

The Role

You'll help engineer and secure the infrastructure behind cutting-edge defence AI platforms. This is a hands-on, impactful role working across cloud, security, CI/CD, and automation in highly secure environments.

  • Automate security controls, monitoring, and compliance

  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams on secure architecture


What You'll Bring

  • Solid cloud security knowledge (IAM, network security, encryption)

  • Scripting skills (Python/Bash)

  • Incident response and security tooling experience

  • Active SC Clearance

Bonus: Defence experience, Kubernetes expertise, zero-trust knowledge, or exposure to AI/ML infrastructure.

Why It's Exciting

  • Work on real sovereign AI used in live defence programmes

  • Build secure systems for high-assurance, classified environments

  • Join a rapidly scaling team shaping the future of defence technology

  • Collaborate with leading AI and security engineers

  • Flexible hybrid working with mission-focused on-site sessions
