We provide the control infrastructure that allows government and regulated enterprise to put frontier-class AI to work safely. We are bringing a frontier AI experience inside secure boundaries for the first time. Our technology supports mission critical workflows across government, healthcare, and enterprise, including: Scaling open-weight models without external inference endpoints. Putting frontier class AI to work across organisations through partnerships with other leading AI startups such as Perplexity. Increasing operational resiliency for air gapped, on prem, and cloud based systems. Securing intellectual property and maintaining auditability for high stakes enterprise environments. Facilitating secure information flow during disaster response, M&A due diligence, and privileged legal communications. We’ve only scratched the surface. Built in Britain by veterans of the Ministry of Defence, British Forces, Darktrace, and elite engineering backgrounds, we are driven by a shared mission to safeguard western democracy . Whether you join our London HQ or our wider global organisation, you’ll be part of a collaborative, high performing team creating the cutting edge software and infrastructure that defines the frontier of enterprise AI.

The Role As a Solutions Engineer, you will deploy, extend, and integrate our secure Kubernetes platform (ACRA) into real-world workflows. You aren't just writing backend services in Go—you are partnering directly with end-users to understand their operational constraints, adapting our containerized workloads to their infrastructure, and feeding crucial feedback back into the core platform team. You will write production Go, build React frontend components, configure microservices, and orchestrate Kubernetes workloads while collaborating across frontend, core backend, infrastructure, and AI teams to deliver client outcomes. What you’ll do: Deploy & Integrate: Build backend microservices, APIs, and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) in Go to integrate ACRA into diverse customer environments (isolated enclaves, edge clusters, hybrid cloud). Bridge Product & Customer: Translate ambiguous client security requirements and user workflows into practical technical implementations without waiting for detailed specs. Kubernetes Application Development: Develop containerized applications, Helm charts, and event-driven microservices running seamlessly on customer K8s platforms. Collaborate with Specialists: Partner with embedded DevOps/Infra specialists (for base cluster provisioning) and ML/AI engineers (for model harness integration), keeping client value at the center. Close the Feedback Loop: Identify recurring integration patterns and work with core engineering to turn custom client fixes into standardized platform features. What we are looking for:
