Full Stack Engineer Contract 6 months+ UK hybrid Active SC required Morela is proud to be supporting a sovereign AI business whose software has to run where most software cannot: offline, locked down, and under real scrutiny. Their platform is an AI operating system built for exactly those conditions. They are well funded, growing quickly, and already live on serious government and commercial programmes. The engineering team is small and senior, so nobody here is a spare pair of hands. The Job You would sit inside the delivery team on a defence programme and build across the whole stack. Python services and pipelines at one end, the TypeScript front end that operators actually use at the other. The environments you ship into have no internet, the deadlines do not move, and the requirements will. It is a high trust seat. You take a problem from a conversation with the customer through to something running in production, and you are the one on site when it needs fixing. In exchange you get properly hard problems, senior people around you, and real influence over a product that matters. Not many engineers get this close to sovereign AI in defence. What is being built here will shape how these organisations work for years. What the Work Looks Like Building and maintaining features top to bottom: Python back end services and APIs, React and TypeScript on the front. Getting software into secure, air-gapped and sensitive environments, which means on-site deployment, integration and troubleshooting. Owning features properly. Scope it with the technical lead, CTO and customer, build it, test it, ship it, then support it. Containerising services and shaping how the platform runs on Kubernetes and bare-metal Linux. Writing code you would be happy to inherit, and holding that same line in review. Fixing production problems calmly, usually with less tooling than you would like and someone waiting on you. Working alongside the data, AI and platform engineers so models, pipelines and infrastructure land as one product rather than three. Improving the day to day: CI/CD, observability, security hardening, documentation. Sitting in front of customers and partners and turning what they need into something buildable. What You Will Need Python. Serious commercial experience building back end services, APIs and tooling. FastAPI, Django, Flask, whichever you have used in anger. TypeScript. Serious commercial experience on modern front ends with React, Vue or Angular. Linux. Properly comfortable without a GUI: shell, networking, processes, permissions, systemd, packages, and working out why a host is misbehaving. Full stack delivery. A track record of shipping whole features from database to browser, relational databases and SQL included. Containers and CI/CD. Docker plus automated build, test and deploy pipelines. Composure. You have delivered against customer deadlines that do not slip, and you get methodical rather than frantic when something breaks. Secure environment fit. Happy following strict security and handling procedures, and getting to UK customer sites when the programme needs you there. Communication. Clear with engineers and with customers who are not engineers. Clearance. Current, active SC. You must be UK based and able to hold and maintain UK clearance. What Would Put You Ahead Delivery into defence, national security or another heavily regulated sector. Running software in air-gapped or disconnected environments, including offline dependencies and moving artefacts across the boundary. Good instincts on secure development, authentication, authorisation and secrets management. Putting AI or ML models into production, LLM features included. Infrastructure as code with Terraform, Ansible or similar, plus configuration management. Observability and incident response: metrics, logging, tracing. Message queues, event-driven architectures or data pipelines. Also Welcome Kubernetes. Deploying, running or debugging workloads, including K3s, RKE2 or OpenShift. Data at scale. Spark, Trino, Parquet, Iceberg or similar columnar and distributed query tooling. GPU workloads and serving models on-premise. Open source contributions or a portfolio worth a look. Mentoring engineers or leading a small delivery team. DV clearance, or eligibility for it. Interested? Get in touch with Morela for a confidential conversation.

We are recruiting for a Senior Systems Engineer specialising in Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) and Distributed Sensing. The successful candidate is expected to fulfil the requirements of a Saab Specialist, and act as a technical leader to: drive development, lead innovation and anticipate future trends, identify opportunities, mitigate risks, and advocate change to maintain competitiveness. Also lead competence development, and formulate and maintain Specialist Work Programmes. Key Responsibilities: As a Senior System Engineer, you will be responsible for enhancing our current products, developing improvements and investigating new areas for product growth, as well as supporting the Engineering Team with various Systems Engineering-focussed activities. System Architecture & Design. Lead the architectural design of PNT solutions, integrating Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Inertial Navigation Systems, and alternative PNT (e.g., vision-based, RF-based, or celestial navigation). Architect distributed sensing networks, defining how data is collected, synchronized, and fused across multiple remote nodes to create a unified operational picture. Define system-level requirements, interface control documents, and performance specifications for timing accuracy and positioning precision. Perform trade studies to optimise the balance between size, weight, power, and cost and system performance. PNT & Synchronization Expertise . Implement and optimise high-precision timing distribution protocols (e.g., PTP/IEEE 1588, NTP, or White Rabbit). Develop strategies for PNT resilience, including mitigation of jamming, spoofing, and GNSS-denied environment operations. Lead the selection and integration of atomic clocks, quantum oscillators, and high-grade IMUs. Distributed Sensing & Data Fusion . Design algorithms and architectures for distributed beamforming, phased arrays, or coordinated sensor fusion. Manage the challenges of network latency, jitter and asynchronous data arrival in distributed sensing environments. Collaborate with software teams to implement edge-processing capabilities to reduce data backhaul from sensing nodes. Integration, Test & Evaluation . Develop comprehensive verification and validation (V&V) plans to prove timing and positioning accuracy. Design and execute complex test campaigns using hardware-in-the-loop and software-in-the-loop simulations. Lead the analysis of telemetry and test data to identify systemic errors and drive corrective design changes. Leadership & Mentorship . Serve as the Subject Matter Expert for PNT and Distributed Sensing across cross-functional teams (Radio Frequency, Software, Mechanical). Mentor junior engineers in systems engineering best practices and specialized domain knowledge. Present technical roadmaps and progress reports to senior leadership and external.
