Experience with cloud-based model deployment (AWS) and ML engineering best practices. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and project delivery skills. Eligible for UK DV security clearance; candidates without clearance must be able to undergo the process. Why this role is unique:
Work on national security projects using niche datasets unavailable elsewhere. Influence the adoption of AI from the ground floor for high-profile clients.
