Backend engineer (IT)
Role: Backend engineer Rate: IR35 Status yet to be determined Location: Remote with occasional travel to London Duration: 6-month initial contract SC clearance required. Backend Engineer (Contract) About the Role You are a systems thinker with deep experience in backend engineering and distributed data infrastructure. You thrive in high-stakes environments, know how to ship reliable code fast, and are pragmatic about trade-o=s. You understand the unique constraints of experimental, edge-deployable systems, especially in air-gapped environments where resilience and autonomy matter most. This role focuses on building and adapting backend services to support experimental AI systems deployed in sensitive Defence contexts. You will help create and manage robust, portable pipelines for data ingestion, orchestration, model interaction, and querying - all within a classified, compute-constrained environment. While our SaaS platform handles production-scale workflows, this project demands thoughtful downscaling and adaptation, not replication. You will work closely with a cross functional team of frontend engineers, data scientists, platform engineers, and external partners. What You'll Do * Architect and implement backend services that support secure, air-gapped AI deployments, with a focus on NLP-based tooling * Develop pipelines for transcription ingestion and real-time analytical insight generation * Support graph and RAG-based inference layers using data from structured and unstructured sources * Build and expose APIs for frontend consumption, enabling natural-language querying, dynamic visualisation, and reporting
- Ensure system portability via containerisation
- Collaborate closely with data scientists to integrate self-hosted LLMs and
