Company mission
To create a future where humans and AI work together to solve the world's most important problems.
Role
Who you are
- We understand that no single person can do it all, and we don't expect everyone to be an expert in every aspect of frontend, backend & DevOps, but you’ll need skills & experience across many levels of a web app stack
- You will have at least two years of commercial software engineering experience and be fluent in at least one high-level programming language. We primarily use Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Our core technology stack is Python Machine Learning, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, React, and Node.js. We’d love for you to have experience in more than one of those, although if you have equivalent experience in different technology stacks and have transferable skills, we’d still love to hear from you
- You will have a degree in a technical discipline such as Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, etc., or equivalent skills and knowledge
- You will have experience working in an iterative Agile environment and an understanding of the DevOps movement, its tools and its culture
Desirable
- Wider software engineering skills, like scripting, CI/CD, UI/UX, design, databases
- Experience architecting and designing complex software systems for the cloud
- Experience working closely with users, working out what to build and why
- Understanding of Machine Learning, AI, or Data Science, including experience deploying ML in production or commercial applications
- Familiarity with other technologies in our stack like Java, Protobuf/gRPC, FastAPI, Redux, AWS
- Experience with modern numeric, big data frameworks, and MLOps such as Sklearn, Pandas, PyTorch, Spark, Numba, Kafka, Apache Arrow, Parquet, MLFlow, KServe
- Experience working with edge hardware found closer to the edge, such as FPGAs, microcontrollers, or Jetson Nanos
What the job involves
- As a Full-Stack Software Engineer, you will join the rapidly growing Engineering team at our University of Oxford machine learning company to help us realise a future where AI and Humans collaborate to solve the world’s most important problems
- You’ll share your days with teams of talented software engineers, scientists, designers, and product specialists. Together, you will take ideas from concept to production, making elegant and maintainable solutions to complex data-centric problems
- You’ll help build an exciting portfolio of products that will have a real and positive impact on society, the environment, and the individual lives of people across the globe
- As a Full-Stack Software Engineer, you will be at the heart of the engineering effort that enables the delivery of state-of-the-art AI/ML in a diverse range of projects.
- Currently, active projects you will be working on include work with our Quantum Technologies team, which delivers AI solutions for managing and operating quantum devices, or with our team developing AI solutions, using computer vision to detect degradation in civil infrastructure, like bridges
- You will work with users on new features, rapidly prototyping, exploring and validating ideas, and designing and developing features for scalable, secure, and observable cloud-based systems
Our take
When risk and complexity are high, organisations turn to Mind Foundry to deliver responsible AI solutions that operate reliably in demanding environments.
Mind Foundry works with customers and partners across a range of operational domains to deliver targeted impact in challenging environments through deployed AI systems in the Defence & National Security space.
The company is certified against recognised industry standards, with a focus on security, cyber protection and supplier assurance.
It was also founded by AI and machine learning researchers, including University of Oxford professors Stephen Roberts and Michael Osborne. Their academic work spans areas such as signal processing, Bayesian inference, Bayesian optimisation and probabilistic numerics.
Today, the mathematical and algorithmic foundations behind Mind Foundry's technology spans applications in sensor systems, information fusion, and decision-support under uncertainty.
