TECH-AGNOSTIC ROLE

ArduPilot / GPS-Denied Navigation Engineers - Urgent Need!

A heavily funded defence tech start-up that has just emerged from stealth has seen rapid success off the back of their passion to support Ukraine. What they do matters and they are set to have a huge impact on NATO Defence.

Right now, they are building autonomous systems designed to operate in GPS-denied environments.

The team is working on real-world platforms already being deployed, solving some extremely difficult navigation problems where GNSS simply isn’t reliable. Data from the front line means new iterations are constantly needed and technology changes.

So you’ll need to thrive in fast pace environments.

They’re looking for engineers who have experience with:

* ArduPilot

* GPS-denied / GNSS-denied navigation

* Sensor fusion across multiple payloads (No specific stack)

This is a small, high-calibre team tackling genuinely hard engineering problems based out of London.

If you’ve worked on UAV autopilots, robotics autonomy, or advanced sensor fusion, I’d be keen to speak.

Month 1 fully onsite - then hybrid (3 days onsite)

Are you an engineer who loves building real AI systems that actually do things?
Do you get excited about autonomy and turning manual workflows into intelligent automation?

If yes - we’d really like to talk to you.

We’re hiring an AI Automation Engineer to join a small, highly technical AI team in financial services who are building a brand-new automation tool from the ground up. This is a rare chance to step into a role where your ideas, your engineering approach, and your problem-solving mindset will directly define the outcome.

Why we need you

Right now, critical internal data workflows rely on manual matching, Excel processes, and human-driven calculations. It works - but it doesn’t scale, it’s slow, and it’s time-consuming.

We need you to turn this into an intelligent, automated AI system, capable of reasoning, validating, matching and running calculations without human prompting.

Your experience in agentic AI, LLM-based automation, Python engineering, and end-to-end build work is exactly what will enable us to replace a manual workflow with a robust, smart, production-ready tool.

The impact you’ll make

You will:

  • Use your Python skills to build an AI-driven automation tool that replaces manual data matching and spreadsheet workflows
  • Use agentic AI and LLM-based reasoning to create autonomous workflows
  • Design, prototype, iterate and ship - end-to-end
  • Collaborate directly with a Head of AI who values independence and technical depth
  • Bring engineering discipline to a greenfield automation project
  • Create something the entire business will rely on daily

Why this role is different

  • Massive autonomy - you’re not one of 20 engineers; your work is the work
  • Greenfield build - no Legacy code to untangle
  • Direct access to technical leadership
  • Clear, valuable real-world use case
  • Hybrid flexibility after the first month

If you enjoy creating intelligent systems that make people’s working lives easier - and you want the satisfaction of building something new from scratch - is this a role worth exploring?

Exposure to finance, enterprise data tooling, or B2B SaaS analytics is a bonus

The Senior AI Engineer will thrive in real-world environs where delivery is all - settings where you work directly with end users, navigate ambiguous or evolving requirements, and need to understand the commercial context as deeply as the technical one.

It is envisaged that over time the role could evolve, albeit in a small way, to include an element of trusted advisor / thought partner (i.e. for portfolio company / prospective investee company CEOs etc).
