About Arondite
Arondite enables organisations to wield autonomy, data and AI at scale. We equip operators with the foundational software to orchestrate their mix of platforms and capabilities, and then take mission-critical decisions faster than their adversaries.
We exist to ensure the UK and its allies out-think, out-pace and out-adapt those who seek to threaten our values and way of life. Our technology is designed for deployment in the world's most austere environments, and is relied upon by the world's most demanding operators. We deploy alongside them, bringing our technical expertise wherever it is needed.
You will join Arondite at a pivotal moment in the company's journey. We are ambitious, building for the long-term and backed by globally renowned investors including Index Ventures (Anthropic, Wiz, Figma, Revolut). Our company is being built by exceptional people; people who find high-tempo and challenging work engaging and exciting, and who consistently deliver outsized impact. You will collaborate with other brilliant minds to solve some of the world's hardest and most important problems.
You will have ownership and autonomy from Day One. There is no corporate ladder at Arondite. We hire the best people and give them extremely high levels of autonomy; the sky is the limit for an individual with the right ambition.
If you are motivated by our mission and if you want to be part of an outstanding team, then we want to hear from you.
About The Role
Arondite is looking for Deployed AI Engineers to understand our customer's problems and implement solutions using AI. We want people who are excited about the opportunity to take ownership for building AI within a high-performance, mission-focused team.
You will be working with AI/ML models and deploying them within our software products, both running in the cloud and on edge devices in the field. The role will also encompass addressing the wider practicalities and challenges in implementing AI-based systems, including obtaining training data, addressing ethical concerns and explaining model behaviours.
As an early member of the AI team at Arondite, you will be able to shape how we exploit the AI revolution, both as part of products and to accelerate our internal processes.
Your responsibilities will include:

- A passion for identifying and implementing pragmatic solutions to hard problems using AI and conventional algorithms
Ideally, you would also have:
- PhD in computer vision, machine learning, robotics, or a related field
- Authored publications in top-tier journals and conferences (e.g. CVPR, NeurIPS, ICLR, ICCV, ICRA, IROS, TPAMI)
- Experience working with MLOps infrastructure or deploying AI models to production, including the associated monitoring, testing and quality assurance
- An understanding of different sensor modalities, their trade-offs, and relevant methods for processing their outputs to drive performance in challenging scenarios
- Created and optimised state-of-the-art AI models for resource-constrained hardware
- Experience with synthetic data generation or simulation, or collection and management of large real-world datasets

Deployed work at Arondite
All 'deployed' roles at Arondite involve working closely with customers at their UK locations, and when they go abroad. This can mean being away from our office for between 1 and 4 days a week on a regular basis, or going abroad for up to 2 or 3 weeks every few months. As this is a big commitment, we endeavour to maintain flexibility in resourcing to support people's personal circumstances.
Right to Work
We require that all candidates have an existing Right to Work in the UK at the time of application.
Security clearance
We believe in working closely with defence customers. As a result, this role will require the individual to hold a clearance or be willing to undergo UK security vetting to Security Check (SC) or above. This normally requires having continuous residency in the UK for at least 5 years.
Office vs Hybrid working
We are focused on building a positive, collaborative engineering-driven culture. We therefore believe in making the office a friendly, comfortable and fun place to be, and we try to work from the office where possible. Of course, there are times when it makes sense for you to work from home and that's OK. You may also need to travel to visit customers, depending on your role. But in general you should only apply to join Arondite if you're excited to come into the office and work in person by default.
Application process
Our interview process for this role is normally:
- CV submission with initial questions
- Introductory Teams call (30-45 mins)
- In-person technical interview (1-2 hours)
- Final interview with one of Arondite's Founders (30 mins)
Benefits
- Highly competitive base salary
- Generous equity in EMI share options in a well-funded and growing startup
- 7% employer pension contribution
- Free meals in the office every day
- Private health and dental insurance, with opt-in cover for dependents
- Cycle to work scheme
- Relocation support
- Access to any resources, equipment and training that you need to do your job in a world-class way
