Five open positions across Britain's hard tech sector this week, two software, two hardware, one ops.
Software Engineering & AI
Research Scientist, Generative Modelling for Materials and Chemistry — DeepMind
Join Google DeepMind to apply generative modelling to materials and chemistry, building on the same lab that produced AlphaFold. The role sits within their science team pushing AI toward real scientific discovery.
- Location: London (Hybrid)
Software Engineer — Anduril
Anduril builds AI-powered autonomous systems for national security, taking a Silicon Valley approach to defence by investing its own capital in R&D rather than relying on cost-plus government contracts. This is a generalist software role on the London team.
- Location: London (Hybrid)
Hardware Engineering
Senior System Architect — Fractile
Fractile is building in-memory computing chips that aim to run large language model inference up to 100x faster and 10x cheaper than current GPUs. This role shapes the system architecture around their novel processor.
- Location: London (Hybrid)
Senior Laser Engineer — Olix
Olix Computing is developing the Optical Tensor Processing Unit, a photonics-based AI accelerator that integrates light with SRAM memory. The laser engineering role is central to making the chip's optics work at production scale.
- Location: London (Hybrid)
- Visa sponsorship: Yes
Commercial & Operations
Office Manager/Workplace Experience Assistant — Proxima Fusion
Proxima Fusion is a Munich and Oxford-based stellarator fusion startup spun out of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics. This Oxford role keeps the UK office running as the team scales their commercial fusion plant designs.
- Location: Oxford (On-site)
