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.

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 opportunity:

This opportunity is open to applicants in their last 12 months of regular service.

Are you a Veteran who is exiting the service? Looking to better understand how a leading Tech company works, or interested in a future career within AI or Data science? Faculty, a leading UK AI company, is offering opportunities throughout the year for service veterans to complete a work placement (unpaid “Civilian Work Attachment").

Whether it’s analysing intelligence, coordinating operations, extracting insights, or driving decision-making, AI is the tool of the UK’s military – and the advantage that tomorrow’s forces need to protect British citizens.

At Faculty, our custom machine learning software is helping defence companies tackle the sector’s
latest challenges and opportunities. From surveillance and reconnaissance, through to autonomous systems and combat service support.

We will host you for one week at our London offices in Old Street, and aim to provide educational and structured engagement with different roles, processes and people across our Defence Business Unit.

How to apply:

If you would like to be considered, please submit your CV and complete the application form.

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.
