We advise businesses, government and public sector organisations and individuals in the UK and internationally across four principal practice groups: Real Estate, Corporate Services, Dispute Resolution and Private Client. We are defined by our Next Level Law proposition. We work with our clients as a proactive partner, horizon scanning and thinking ahead to the changes, challenges or opportunities that they may face. Next Level Law is also applied to our people. Our collegiate culture means everyone is encouraged to achieve their next level in everything they do. RollOnFriday recently ranked us as the 6th best law firm to work at in 2026. With our ambition to succeed, comes a strong desire to make a positive contribution to the communities we serve, and we are committed to delivering the objectives set out in our ESG strategy. Diversity plays an integral part in all that we do, with female partners comprising 42% of our partnership. The team you will join The AI capability sits within Birketts' Information Technology function, working closely with Product Development, Knowledge Management, Learning & Development, Security and Risk & Compliance. Delivery will be product-led and iterative, with a small cross-functional working group using matrixed resources across teams. The role will operate within Birketts' core ecosystem, including Microsoft 365 (Copilot), iManage (Document Management), Aderant Expert (Practice Management), Intapp Intake (new client onboarding) and Microsoft Fabric (data platform).

The work you will be doing As AI Technical Lead, you will be a hands-on technical leader within Birketts' IT team, working in close partnership with the Product Manager for AI.

This is a hands-on role: alongside shaping standards and enablement, you will write and ship code where needed to deliver small integrations, automations and repeatable AI-enabled workflows. This role is delivery-oriented: you will design, build and ship incremental improvements, partnering with colleagues across Development, Data, Security, Knowledge Management and Learning & Development to drive adoption, skills sharing and effective change management. You will also support evidence-based build vs buy decisions on specialist third-party legal tools and any future 'Birketts-approved AI environment'. Platform architecture and security governance will be delivered in collaboration with Birketts' wider Technology and Information Security leadership. You will be supported by matrixed colleagues in Development, Data and Security; this role leads hands-on delivery of priority items rather than owning all engineering capacity. Please note that this job profile is not an exhaustive list of duties but merely an outline of the key components of the role. You may be required by your line manager to take on additional responsibilities when requested. What we are looking for This role is well suited to a hands-on technical lead who enjoys building and improving products in partnership with product management and users. You will be able to translate business needs into secure, auditable and integrated solutions, and you will be comfortable delivering in a matrixed model, bringing others along through coaching, documentation and shared patterns. You will be comfortable coding as part of delivery, not only producing guidance and patterns. Essential experience and skills Proven experience delivering production-grade software, workflow or automation solutions in an enterprise environment, with hands-on build and delivery responsibility Strong experience integrating systems and data sources into coherent workflows (API-led integration, events and/or data pipelines) Hands-on software development capability, with proficiency in at least one mainstream language used for enterprise API integration and automation (e.g., C#/.NET, Python); able to design, build, test and release small services/integrations Practical experience delivering AI-assisted workflow features into production, including validation/testing and monitoring Understanding of common AI delivery patterns and controls Good cloud experience (preferably Azure) and understanding of secure delivery practices (identity, access control, audit logging, monitoring and operational readiness) Working knowledge of modern engineering practices (Git, code review, CI/CD basics, and operational readiness such as logging/monitoring) Experience working with security/governance stakeholders to apply controls in delivery (confidentiality, auditability and least privilege) Experience delivering through an agile product lifecycle with measurable outcomes (discovery, pilots, iteration, adoption/value tracking) Ability to apply pragmatic quality and evaluation approaches to AI-assisted features (testing/validation, guardrails, release gating and user feedback loops) Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills, including the ability to explain technical decisions and trade-offs to non-technical audiences and to support adoption Desirable experience Experience in legal or other regulated/professional services environments where confidentiality and auditability are critical Experience with Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Agents and/or Microsoft-aligned automation Familiarity with one or more of: iManage, Aderant Expert, Intapp Intake, Microsoft Fabric or similar platforms Experience building integrations with document/content platforms or line-of-business systems (e.g., DMS, intake, practice management, or data platforms) Exposure to Azure AI services (including Azure OpenAI/Azure AI) and/or delivering AI-assisted workflow features in production Experience evaluating and piloting third-party AI tools (security posture, integration approach, operating model) and supporting build vs buy recommendations Hybrid Working Birketts is a flexible business which has embraced a hyb

Bristol An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team of skilled Systems Engineers within The Security Engineering Department who ensure our products are secure during their service life, protect MBDA's IP and safeguard our Customer's through-life military capability. Salary: Circa £ 60,000 depending on experience. Dynamic (hybrid) working: 4 days per week on-site due to workload classification; where possible, we will seek to accommodate a blended approach to on-site and remote working. Security Clearance: British Citizen. Restrictions and/or limitations relating to nationality and/or rights to work may apply. As a minimum and after offer stage, all successful candidates will need to undergo HMG Security Check (SC) clearance, which is managed by the MBDA Personnel Security Team. Applicants either holding or willing to undergo Developed Vetting (DV) clearance are ideal, but not mandatory. What we can offer you: Company bonus: Up to £2,500 (based on company performance and will vary year to year) Pension: maximum total (employer and employee) contribution of up to 14% Overtime: opportunity for paid overtime Flexi Leave: Up to 15 additional days Flexible working: We welcome applicants who are looking for flexible working arrangements Enhanced parental leave: offers up to 26 weeks for maternity, adoption and shared parental leave -enhancements are available for paternity leave, neonatal leave and fertility testing and treatments Facilities: Fantastic site facilities including subsidised meals, free car parking and much more Healthcare Cash Plan: The Healthcare Cash Plan benefit provides the option to claim cash back on everyday healthcare expenses such as optical, dental, health and wellbeing and more . The opportunity: The Security Engineering Department provides all project teams across the business with skilled resources, Technical Experts and other specialist capabilities to manage the Security Engineering process throughout the Product Life Cycle phases to ensure our products are robust to tampering and resistant to reverse engineering attempts by an Adversary. The Product Security Solution comprises both Technical Protection features embedded at all levels of the design and a robust set of processes and procedures, which form an essential part of our Customer's ability to maintain an Operational Advantage and Freedom of Action. Product Security Engineers are primarily Systems Engineers with a specialist focus on Security Design. Therefore, experience in working in the Security Engineering Domain, whilst beneficial is not essential. A successful candidate need only be a skilled Systems Engineer with an eye for detail and a willingness to learn. Some prior experience with electronics or software design is useful, but again not essential. Specifically, the role will involve: Task package management of activities utilising multi-disciplinary engineers spanning across the Engineering Directorate to design and deliver a comprehensive technical security solution within the budget and timescale set out for the task. Managing the trade-space to maximise the effectiveness of through life protective measures without compromising product safety or Customer winning capability. Preparing and maintaining a robust security case and working directly with the UK Customer and its technical advisors to agree sufficiency of solutions. Undertaking a wide range of systems design and technical leadership tasks, ensuring a coherent design is maintained across the contributing engineering departments (hardware, firmware, software) that can be integrated, tested and qualified to demonstrate the effectiveness of the security solution. Liaising with manufacturing and support teams to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the missile/weapon system is maintained through manufacture and in the various through life support scenarios that may be offered to a Customer. Ensuring the Need to Know principal is adhered to and sufficient controls are in place to manage the knowledge of the technical implementation, providing direction on the release of information to Suppliers and Customers, where required. Product Security Engineers are required to look at the design at multiple levels: from the Missile as a whole with its multitude of complex interfaces within a wider Weapon System, to the individual electronic components at a printed circuit card level. Such a breadth of influence over and interaction with the design affords the Product Security Engineer a rich and challenging working environment unparalleled elsewhere in the Systems Design Function. You will gain an intimate knowledge of the product functionality and interact with stakeholders across the business from the highly technical to the more commercial. A role in the Security Engineering Department is therefore dynamic and diverse in its activities and provides a real opportunity to be part of a technically complex and essential part of the product capability. What we're looking for from you: Able to listen to, evaluate and resolve technical issues in a manner that upholds MBDAs reputation with our Customer. Strong engineering skills where a background in Systems Engineering is essential and experience in electronics design and/or embedded software or firmware design is desirable. Knowledge of Product or Systems Security is desirable. DV cleared or willing and eligible to go through the DV clearance process. Our company: Peace is not a given, Freedom is not a given, Sovereignty is not a given MBDA is a leading defence organisation. We are proud of the role we play in supporting the Armed Forces who protect our nations. We partner with governments to work together towards a common goal, defending our freedom.
