About Faculty

Faculty transforms organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-led AI. 

We are Europe’s leading applied AI company, and saw its potential a decade ago - long before the current hype cycle.

We were founded in 2014 with our Fellowship programme, training academics to become commercial data scientists. 

Today, we provide over 300 global customers with industry-leading software, and bespoke AI consultancy for retail, healthcare, energy, and governmental organisations, as well as our award winning Fellowship. 

Our expertise and safety credentials are such that OpenAI asked us to be their first technical partner, helping customers deploy cutting-edge generative AI safely.

Our high-impact work has saved lives through forecasting NHS demand during covid, produced green energy by routing boats towards the wind, slashed marketing spend by predicting customer spending habits, and kept children safe online. 

AI is an epoch-defining technology. We want people to join us who can help our customers reap its enormous benefits safely.

About the Role

We're looking for a full-stack Software Engineer to work in our Technology team on our ground-breaking Frontier platform. Your role will focus on scaling our Decision Intelligence platform - providing AI capabilities across high-impact decisions. This comes with genuinely interesting technical challenges, with huge space for creativity and influence.

As we continue to expand our platform's reach, you'll have the unique opportunity to build a scalable AI focussed product, whilst working in a team dedicated to best technical practices.

From optimising bed management in healthcare institutions to addressing logistics in the military and supporting sustainability goals in various industries, Frontier empowers organisations to make informed decisions through AI-driven insights.

What you will be doing:

At the heart of Decision Intelligence for each customer lies one or more Computational Twins (CT). A CT is a digital representation of an existing business process in which decisions are made. Our platform enables a CT to show historical process performance, model future behaviour and simulate decisions. 

As an engineer in the Frontier Solutions team, you will be building the customer facing aspects of Frontier. This ranges from building developer friendly apis for use by customers building products on top of Frontier, to building delightful user experiences that enable Frontier to be used as a SaaS decision intelligence platform.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Strong technical contributor to Frontier in one of the teams in the broader Solutions squad, comprising Engineers, Product Designers, Data Scientists and a Product Manager.

• Collaborating across Frontier to implement new features, address bugs, and support the product.

• Implementing the product using our primary languages - Python & TypeScript. Experience with Infrastructure as Code and Rust are also useful.

What we are looking for:

• Back-end engineering experience with either Python or Node plus Typescript and React on the front-end. 

• Experience with PostgreSQL.

• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines with GitLab.

• Good understanding of system architecture and design.

• Knowledge of automated testing strategies across various levels of the test pyramid.

• Experience working with cross-functional teams of engineers.

• Experience collaborating with Product Managers and Product Designers to ensure delightful customer experiences.

• Expertise in Docker with deployment on Kubernetes, preferred

• An understanding of the AI value chain

• Experience with startup-centric fast-paced work, sometimes introducing creative approaches to difficult problems.

What we can offer you:

The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come from different personal, professional and organisational backgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by a deep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.

Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll be surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to achieve our collective goals. Our consultants, product developers, business development specialists, operations professionals and more all bring something unique to Faculty, and you’ll learn something new from everyone you meet. You’ll also have the opportunity to make your mark on a high-growth start-up now poised to expand internationally.
