Our stack:
Python (Django/FastAPI), TypeScript, React, Astro, Svelte, PostgreSQL, AWS, Terraform, and frontier AI models via Amazon Bedrock.
What you’ll get:
- High-autonomy, high-trust environment
- Access to frontier AI models and significant compute
- Backing from No.10 and the Prime Minister
- Small, empowered, cross-functional teams
- £77,425 - £105,460 + 28.97% pension contribution. Salary is dependent on location and skills assessed at interview.
- Hybrid working in London, Manchester or Bristol
If you're excited by the opportunity to solve meaningful problems with AI, we'd love to hear from you.
Appointment is conditional on successfully completing UK Government SC clearance. Prior clearance is not required - we will sponsor and support you.
