Searchability NS&D are working with a growing technology organisation delivering advanced software and AI capabilities across the National Security & Defence sector.

They are looking for an all-round Full Stack Software Engineer with an interest in AI/ML to join a highly technical engineering team.

This isn't a role where you'll be expected to be a dedicated Machine Learning Engineer or pure frontend developer. We're looking for someone comfortable getting involved across the software stack, solving difficult engineering problems and working alongside AI/ML specialists to turn emerging technology into usable, production-ready software.

THE ROLE

You'll work across the software development lifecycle, helping to design, build, integrate and deploy applications that make advanced AI and computer vision capabilities accessible to end users.

The role could involve:

Developing modern full stack applications and user interfaces
Building backend services and REST APIs
Integrating AI/ML capabilities into software applications
Developing tools for image, video and AI visualisation
Building scalable and maintainable software
Integrating applications, services and workflows
Working with data and modern data platforms
Contributing to software architecture and technical direction
Developing automated tests and CI/CD pipelines
Supporting customer demonstrations, trials and deployments
Working with AI/ML teams to turn research and models into practical software

The balance of frontend, backend, integration and AI/ML work will depend on your experience and interests.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're deliberately looking for an all-rounder rather than someone who ticks every box.

You'll ideally have several years of commercial Software Engineering experience and be comfortable working across different parts of the technology stack.

Experience with some of the following would be valuable:

SOFTWARE ENGINEERING
Full Stack Software Development
Python development
JavaScript / TypeScript or similar frontend technologies
REST APIs and frameworks such as Flask or Django
Git, automated testing and CI/CD
Strong software design and engineering practices
Linux development environments

DATA & INTEGRATION
Application or systems integration
Databases such as MongoDB or PostgreSQL
Data lakes / modern data platforms
Event-driven architectures or messaging
Building connected workflows between different systems

AI / ML
Experience working alongside AI/ML or data science teams
Exposure to Machine Learning or Computer Vision
Python-based ML technologies such as PyTorch
ML pipelines or model deployment
Image or video processing
An interest in integrating AI/ML into production software

You don't need experience across all of these areas - a strong software engineer with breadth, curiosity and an interest in AI/ML is exactly what we're looking for.

WHY JOIN?

You'll be joining a highly technical team working on genuinely challenging software and AI problems, with the opportunity to see your work move from development into real-world operational environments.

You'll have the opportunity to:

Work alongside experienced Software Engineers, AI/ML specialists and researchers
Build software around cutting-edge AI and Computer Vision technology
Work across software engineering, integration and AI/ML
Influence architecture and technical direction
Take ownership of meaningful projects
Develop your skills across modern technologies
Contribute to products designed for demanding real-world environments

SECURITY CLEARANCE

Due to the nature of the work, active SC or MOD DV clearance is required for this position.

APPLY NOW

If you're an SC or MOD DV cleared Software Engineer who enjoys working across the stack and has an interest in AI/ML, Computer Vision or emerging technologies, we'd love to hear from you.

You don't need to be an AI expert - we're particularly interested in engineers with a broad technical skillset who want to get closer to this area.
