Stage 2: Short practical exercise (video) If you progress, we ll send you a short brief and a few suggested technologies you could use. You ll then have time to go away, create a simple prototype or generate an insight in response to the brief, and record a short video walking us through what you have produced and why. For this role, we will be looking for evidence of technical judgement and engineering thinking, for example, how you approach system design, reliability, security, data or AI safety, rather than production quality or polished demos. The exercise is designed to be accessible to candidates who lead engineering teams and may not code day to day. Videos will be scored by a small group of assessors using clear criteria. Stage 3: Interview A shortlist of candidates will be invited to a competency-based interview, assessed against the criteria set out in the job description. We ll share full details, timelines and support as you progress. We re happy to make reasonable adjustments at any stage. Use of AI in applications You can use AI to help draft your answers, but remember, we are looking for your experiences and insights, not generic or AI-generated responses. We score for specific, real examples and your own judgement. If your answers read like AI output or could describe anyone s experience, they will score poorly. We are receiving excellent responses to our job advertisements. This may lead us to close the role early, so if you are considering applying, then please get your application in early to avoid missing out.

Use of AI in applications You can use AI to help draft your answers, but remember, we are looking for your experiences and insights, not generic or AI-generated responses. We score for specific, real examples and your own judgement. If your answers read like AI output or could describe anyone s experience, they will score poorly.
