*This position requires candidates to hold an active enhanced DV Clearance upon application*


You have a passion for harnessing and channelling the power of AI to make a positive impact, but feel hamstrung by your employer, who are more focused on selling you against particular projects, than unleashing your full potential.


You want to work with the brightest minds, working on cutting-edge technology to create and deliver bespoke and novel solutions to the problems faced by organisations in the National Security sector.


You have led teams of Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and DevOps engineers. You also have experience gathering requirements from and delivering demos to clients in the secure sector.


If you have been nodding along so far, this super unique opportunity could be right up your street!


In joining this scale-up business in central Manchester, you would be the first hire holding DV clearance and would be the driving force to further drive into the NatSec space. Working collaboratively with a brilliantly bright team of Engineers, and the founders, you'll own the delivery of client projects, from discovery to completion and handover.


As well as client work, you will also have time set aside for R&D projects, to ensure you keep on top of the fast-moving AI/ML landscape.


Your technical experience will include the following:


  • Experience writing and deploying production-grade Python.
  • Leadership, management and mentoring of other engineers.
  • Cloud computing, with modern DevOps practices and IaC tools.
  • A strong opinion on your IDE/editor of choice
  • Familiarity with TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch or SKLearn.
  • MLOps experience is not essential, but some awareness of this emerging space is beneficial.


Package details:


  • To £75,000 base salary + 10% clearance bonus
  • Equity option scheme
  • Hybrid working (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday in the office)
  • Lunch and learns - amazing food provided!


For further details, please either apply, or message me directly via LinkedIn.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
