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 team

In our Professional and Financial Services Business unit, we bring everything we have learned in more than a decade of Applied AI, and use it to help our clients navigate a rapidly changing landscape.

We develop and embed AI solutions which help financial institutions become more efficient, enhance customer experience, and find the commercial upside in uncertain markets. Within the constraints of a highly regulated industry, we see so much opportunity for impactful innovation and are proud to set the gold-standard for marrying technical excellence with safe deployment.

  • Leading technical scoping and architectural decisions for high-impact ML systems
  • Designing and building production-grade ML software, tools, and scalable infrastructure
  • Defining and implementing best practices and standards for deploying machine learning at scale across the business
  • Collaborating with engineers, data scientists, product managers, and commercial teams to solve critical client challenges and leverage opportunities
  • Acting as a trusted technical advisor to customers and partners, translating complex concepts into actionable strategies
  • Mentoring and developing junior engineers, actively shaping our team's engineering culture and technical depth

Who we're looking for:

  • You understand the full ML lifecycle and have significant experience operationalising models built with frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch
  • You bring deep expertise in software engineering and strong Python skills, focusing on building robust, reusable systems
  • You have demonstrable hands-on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), including architecture, security, and infrastructure
  • You've extensive experience working with container and orchestration tools such at Docker & Kubernetes to build and manage applications at scale
  • You thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments, demonstrating ownership and autonomy in driving projects to completion
  • You communicate exceptionally well, confidently guiding both technical teams and senior, non-technical stakeholders

  • System Design Interview (90 minutes)
  • Commercial Interview (60 minutes)

Our Recruitment Ethos

Faculty's standard text

We aim to grow the best team - not the most similar one. We know that diversity of individuals fosters diversity of thought, and that strengthens our principle of seeking truth. 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.

If you don’t feel you meet all the requirements, but are excited by the role and know you bring some key strengths, please don't hesitate in applying as you might be right for this role, or other roles. We are open to conversations about part-time hours.

Faculty's standard text

A note on AI: we're happy for you to use it for research and interview prep, but please don't use it to generate answers during live interviews. We also use an AI note-taker (Metaview) in interviews so interviewers can stay present (which you can opt out of just let us know,) and every application is reviewed by a human, never decided by AI.
