Deployed AI engineer in defence

One of Europe's best-funded AI companies is building real-time intelligence infrastructure for national defence. Rather than developing isolated research models or enterprise SaaS wrappers, their platform deploys directly onto frontline operational assets—integrating live with mission-critical aircraft, sensors, and sovereign hardware. Backed by multi-billion-dollar capital from premier global VCs, their technical team brings together senior systems and AI talent from Tier-1 tech environments to solve genuinely consequential problems.

• Integrate modern AI capabilities directly into complex real-world platforms, collaborating with customer avionics engineers to interface with aircraft mission-control systems and operational hardware.
• Trace, reverse-engineer, and decode unfamiliar network protocols, legacy APIs, and bespoke databases to build resilient adapters that connect edge hardware to cloud infrastructure.
• Work alongside core product and machine learning teams to turn chaotic edge-environment constraints into formalized requirements, edge cases, and production updates.
• Coordinate and execute live technical demonstrations and trials across simulated and physical deployments, proving system reliability under operational stress.
• Own the integration lifecycle on the ground across customer sites in the UK and EU, traveling on a monthly cadence to guarantee deployment readiness.

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent systems-level grounding.
• Strong software engineering foundation in C++, Java, Rust, or similar systems languages, paired with scripting fluency in Python or Bash.
• Deep practical command of Linux internals, networking stacks, and database systems, with a proven instinct to debug and adapt legacy environments rather than demanding a rewrite.
• Demonstrated ability to operate directly in high-stakes, customer-facing technical environments, asking sharp diagnostic questions and working side-by-side with external engineering teams.
• Willingness to travel across the UK and EU on a monthly cadence, and eligibility to obtain UK or European security clearance.
