Why faculty
We established Faculty in 2014 because we thought that AI would be the most important technology of our time. Since then, we’ve worked with over 350 global customers to transform their performance through human-centric AI. You can read about our real-world impact here https://faculty.ai/impact. We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well.
We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence. Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology. AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you’ll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.
About the team
Our Public Services Business Unit is committed to leveraging AI for the benefit of individual citizens and the public good. From our work informing strategic government decisions, to optimising our NHS, through to reducing bureaucratic backlogs - we know that AI offers opportunities to drive improvements at every level of Government and we are proud to lead on some of the most impactful work happening in the sector.
Because of the nature of the work we do with our Government clients, you may need to be eligible for UK Security Clearance (SC) and willing to work on site with these clients from time to time.
About the role
As a Full Stack Software Engineer, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to build and scale AI-powered systems that solve unique challenges for global clients.

- Building data pipelines and cloud infrastructure as part of wider AI systems.
- Providing deep technical expertise to customers, helping them navigate complex requirements.

- You possess solid backend development skills in Python frameworks (such as FastAPI) and are comfortable managing the full application lifecycle.
- You have full-stack experience and exposure to TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks like React or Vue
- You have experience deploying software within cloud environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP, ideally using containerisation tools like Docker.
- You demonstrate a scientific and pragmatic mindset, testing assumptions and balancing big-picture vision with the technical details required for execution.
- You know how to maintain a balance between rapid prototyping and long-term maintainability.
- You thrive in autonomous, fast-paced environments where you can take full ownership of problems.
- You are a compelling communicator who enjoys working in a team-oriented culture and has a relentless drive to learn and apply novel technologies.

Our recruitment ethos
We aim to grow the best team - not the most similar one. We know that diversity of individuals fosters diversity of thought, and that strengthens our principle of seeking truth. And we know from experience that diverse teams deliver better work, relevant to the world in which we live. We’re united by a deep intellectual curiosity and desire to use our abilities for measurable positive impact. We strongly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, religions and sexual orientations.
If you don’t feel you meet all the requirements, but are excited by the role and know you bring some key strengths, please don't hesitate in applying as you might be right for this role, or other roles. We are open to conversations about part-time hours. A note on AI: we're happy for you to use it for research and interview prep, but please don't use it to generate answers during live interviews. We also use an AI note-taker (Metaview) in interviews so interviewers can stay present (which you can opt out of just let us know,) and every application is reviewed by a human, never decided by AI.
Requirements
- scientific and pragmatic mindset
- autonomous
- compelling communicator
