Contract Golang Engineer – AI for Defence
£700–800/day | Inside IR35 | Hybrid / Secure Site | SC/DV Cleared | UK Nationals Only
Initial 3-month contract (extensions expected up to 12 months)

Join a ground-breaking AI programme delivering national security impact.

We’re working with a leading UK AI firm on a mission-critical Defence deployment. This greenfield build calls for a Golang specialist to help deliver backend systems that support real-time inference, transcription pipelines, and natural language interaction – all under tight performance and security constraints.

Your Role:

  • Build high-performance services using Golang in secure environments

  • Develop ingestion and processing pipelines for transcription and structured/unstructured data

  • Contribute to intelligent data flows including graph-based and RAG inference pipelines

  • Expose well-structured APIs to support real-time dashboards and NLP workflows

  • Deploy and scale systems using Kubernetes and Docker

  • Collaborate with platform and data science teams to optimise model integration and system performance

    Your Experience:

  • Advanced Golang engineering background, ideally in distributed or secure systems

  • Solid experience with Kubernetes, orchestration tooling (e.g. Argo), and Kafka or equivalent

  • Strong database knowledge (Postgres preferred)

  • Ability to design and scale APIs and backend pipelines for data-rich environments

  • Bonus: Familiarity with RAG pipelines, transcription tooling, vector DBs, or LLM deployment

  • Bonus: Prior experience within Defence, aerospace, or highly regulated industries

    Why It Stands Out:
    This isn’t a generic software build. You’ll help deliver a real-time AI system supporting operational decision-making for Defence stakeholders. With direct impact, secure site exposure, and complex engineering challenges, this contract offers an unmatched opportunity for cleared engineers.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for AI Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The artificial intelligence sector has transformed from a niche technology field into one of the UK's most dynamic employment markets. With AI roles ranging from machine learning engineers to data scientists and AI product managers commanding average salaries between £45,000 and £120,000, timing your job search strategically can significantly impact your success rate. Understanding when companies typically hire for AI positions—and why these patterns exist—can give you a competitive edge in landing your dream role. Unlike traditional industries with predictable seasonal fluctuations, the AI job market follows distinct patterns driven by corporate budgets, educational cycles, and technological project timelines. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal months to apply for AI jobs in the UK, helping you align your career moves with industry hiring peaks.
