About Faculty

At Faculty, we transform organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-centric AI.

With more than a decade of experience, we provide over 350 global customers with software, bespoke AI consultancy, and Fellows from our award winning Fellowship programme.

Our expert team brings together leaders from across government, academia and global tech giants to solve the biggest challenges in applied AI.

Should you join us, you'll have the chance to work with, and learn from, some of the brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of the world.

About the role

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer you will be working closely with one or multiple of our delivery teams who are responsible for visualising insights from the output of our data scientists.

Working within the Professional & Financial Services team, you\'ll have the opportunity to deliver solutions to some of the most unique challenges facing customers in that space using AI and Machine Learning, examples of which can be found here.

What you\'ll be doing:

This role will evolve alongside business needs, but you can expect your key responsibilities to include

• Creating reliable, reusable and scalable frontend and backend to enable better delivery of AI systems
• Leading engineers in a cross-functional team of Data Scientists, Product Managers and Commercial staff to deliver technically sophisticated, high-impact systems.
• Leading on the architecture and design of projects
• Offering leadership and management to more junior engineers on the team
• Be the go to authority for engineering across the stack within your team
• Providing technical expertise to our customers

Who We\'re Looking For:

At Faculty, your attitude and behaviour are just as important as your technical skill. We look for individuals who can support our values, foster our culture, and deliver for our organisation.

To succeed in this role, you\'ll need demonstrable experience in the following:

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript and experience with modern front-end frameworks such as React or Vue.
• Solid experience with back-end development using Typescript/Python frameworks (Flask, FastAPI, or Django is a plus)
• Understanding of UI/UX principles and ability to create intuitive user experiences
• Proven ability to work in both rapid prototyping mode and to ship/maintain large-scale products
• Knowledge of modern front-end testing frameworks like Jest or Cypress
• Familiarity with deploying software for Cloud Environments (AWS/Azure/GCP) (IaC experience such as Terraform is a plus)
• Experience with containerisation technologies like Docker (Kubernetes experience is a plus)
• Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to debug complex issues
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment
• Excitement about working in a dynamic role with the autonomy and freedom you need to take ownership of problems and see them through to execution
• Contributions to open-source projects or personal side projects demonstrating passion for software development

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.
