Must hold SC or DV Clearance

Permanent (may consider Contractors) You will work closely with the entire team. You will be trusted with judgment calls. You will influence the business. And you will see the impact of your work every day.

If you are excited by ownership, pace and purpose - and by building something that genuinely matters - we would love to hear from you.

What You Will Be Doing

We are looking for AI engineers who build and ship agentic AI systems in production. You will work at the cutting edge of agentic and generative AI - designing multi-agent pipelines, integrating large language models and vision-language models into real workflows, and deploying them into secure and air-gapped environments for defence and national security customers.

This is a delivery role. You will own features end-to-end - from design through to deployment in constrained environments where reliability and security matter more than speed to market.

Key Responsibilities

Architect, build, and optimise multi-agent AI systems using frameworks such as LangGraph, Haystack, or equivalent

Integrate LLMs and vision-language models into agent workflows for reasoning, search, summarisation, and task execution

Deploy AI systems into cloud, on-premises, and air-gapped environments

Build production-ready pipelines from data ingestion through to inference

Experience with observability for AI systems, including agent behaviour, model performance, and failure modes

Collaborate with engineers, product leads, and customers to translate requirements into working systems

Contribute to evaluation frameworks, system integration, and performance tracking

Act as a technical authority for agentic AI - setting design patterns for junior engineers

Requirements Required

Active SC clearance

Commercial experience building multi-agent or agentic AI systems in production

Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with LLM frameworks (LangGraph, LangChain, Haystack, or similar)

Experience deploying AI/ML systems into production environments

Familiarity with Docker, Git, and cloud platforms (AWS preferred)

Understanding of secure deployment patterns - air-gapped, on-premises, or sovereign cloud

Preferred

Experience with multimodal reasoning

Experience with edge or offline AI deployments

Familiarity with Kubernetes (EKS/OpenShift) for monitoring and managing deployed applications

MLOps experience - model evaluation, monitoring, reproducibility

Observability tooling for agentic systems (model drift, agent behaviour, performance monitoring)

Experience with agent orchestration patterns and inter-agent communication protocols (e.g. A2A)

Familiarity with MCPs for tool and context integration in agentic systems

Familiarity with secure-by-design development principles (ISO 27001, NIST, OWASP)

Experience in defence, national security, or similarly regulated environments

Contributions to open-source AI/ML projects

Soft Skills

Delivery-focused - you ship working systems, not prototypes

Comfortable operating across the stack when needed

Strong communicator - can present to technical and non-technical stakeholders

Thrives in small teams with high ownership

Benefits include:

Rapid career progression and personal growth

Flexible working hours

Opportunity to shape the future of a fast-growing business

Data Scientist - Operational & Optimisation-Focused AI £700+ per day | Inside IR35 | Long-term programme (2-3 years) I'm currently looking for Data Scientists to join a highly capable, collaborative team working on real operational problems at serious scale within a well‑established, commercially driven organisation.This is a role for someone who enjoys building things that actually run the business - not experiments that sit on a slide deck. You'll be working on postoptimization, decision‑making problems where the output of your models directly affects cost, performance, and customer outcomes every day. Location & Contract Rate: £700+ per day (Inside IR35, depending on experience) Contract: Rolling 6‑month contracts, with a realistic 2-3 year roadmap of work Working pattern: Hybrid - 2-3 days per week onsite in West London / Paddington area and West Drayton Start: ASAP (subject to onboarding) What the role is really about In this role, you won't be siloed away from the business. You'll be embedded alongside engineers and operational stakeholders, working on problems where data science is central to how decisions are made, not just how performance is reported.You will: Design and build optimisation, predictive, and prescriptive models that support live operational decision‑making Work on problems where multiple constraints, trade‑offs, and dependencies matter (cost, service levels, experience, risk) Take solutions from idea → model → production, and stay involved once they're live Iterate based on real‑world performance and business feedback, not theoretical metrics Explain why a model behaves as it does and help the business trust and use it A good way to think about this role: you are shaping the engine that runs day‑to‑day operations, not creating insights for someone else to interpret later. I'm particularly keen to speak to you if your background includes: Hands‑on data science using Python, ML Frameworks and modern tooling Experience with optimisation, simulation, machine learning, or advanced analytics applied to real systems Clear examples of models you've personally built and put into production, not just prototyped Working with engineers to deploy, monitor, and improve solutions over time Operating in commercial, corporate environments where decisions have financial and operational consequences Experience in supply chain, logistics, asset management, scheduling, or similar domains is useful - but what really matters is how you think about operational problems. Why this role is worth a conversation The work is meaty, operational, and genuinely impactful You'll be surrounded by people who understand and value good data science There's long‑term stability (not a short "fire‑and‑forget" contract) You get to see your work run at scale, improve, and evolve A quick but important note on CVs This is a specialist role, and CVs that read as academic, R&D‑only, or proof‑of‑concept‑focused tend not to land well. Please make sure your CV clearly shows: What you personally built How it was used in production What measurable impact it had on the business CVs that make that clear tend to stand out very quickly. If you enjoy solving hard, real‑world problems and want your models to matter, I think this is well worth exploring.If you'd like to talk it through, I'd be very happy to have a conversation.
