Software Engineer, Deployed

Software Engineers, are you tired of building products you never see used in the real world?

I'm working with awell-funded, VC-backed Defence AI start-upbuilding intelligent systems designed to solve some genuinely difficult real-world problems.

They're looking forForward Deployed Engineerswho want to do more than sit behind a desk writing code against a backlog.

Thinksoftware engineering, AI, complex systems and real-world deployment- working at the intersection of cutting-edge technology and challenging operational environments.

What makes this interesting?

• Building and deploying sophisticated software systems in real-world environments.
• Working closely with end users to understand complex technical and operational challenges.
• Writing production-quality code and solving problems across the software stack.
• Integrating AI-powered capabilities into existing systems and workflows.
• Taking ownership of engineering problems from initial requirements through to deployment.
• Working alongside highly capable software engineers and AI researchers.

Who are we looking for?

• Engineers with strong foundations insoftware engineering, Python and complex systems, who enjoy solving ambiguous technical problems.
• You might come from a high-performance engineering team, an AI start-up, a defence technology company or a technically demanding software environment.
• Experience inbackend engineering, distributed systems, infrastructure or systems integrationwould be particularly interesting.
• You don't need to have worked in a Forward Deployed role before.
• What matters is your ability towrite great code, communicate with technical and non-technical stakeholders, think independently and make complex technology work in practice.
• This is for engineers who enjoy being close to the problem, taking ownership and seeing the direct impact of what they build.
