With a core focus on our multimodal data fusion platform, we combine the value of humans and agents to transform information overload into decision advantage.\nOur team is a hybrid of domain specialists and technologists. We believe this layering of experience is key to building cutting edge AI that is operationally relevant. With our foundations set in NLP, computational linguistics and graph technology we now draw on the latest ideas in agentic AI and knowledge representation, as we set our sights firmly on defining and building the next era of sovereign AI capability.\nTo work at Adarga you have to care deeply about the mission. We exist to support those with the ultimate task: upholding the liberties and values that define our society. We want people who are comfortable with uncertainty, who want to own decisions, who want to drive a vision.\nAbout the Role\nAdarga is seeking an experienced generalist engineer to advance the design and implementation of our multimodal data fusion platform. You will take significant components from design through to production, contribute to architectural decisions, and ship. You will work alongside our Chief Architect and a growing engineering team, contributing across the full surface area of the platform: data ingestion, transformation pipelines, semantic data representation, agent frameworks, and the deployment stack that takes our software from cloud to edge to airgap. We are a cross-functional team and on occasions you will also be expected to deliver on specific customer projects as part of a Mission deployment.\nWhat you will do\nDesign, build, and operate significant platform components, working closely with the Chief Architect.\n\nBuild and maintain distributed systems that ingest, transform, and serve diverse multimodal data types.\n\nContribute to the engineering of our agent framework, integrating existing architectures and emerging alternatives.\n\nHelp define and improve the deployment patterns that allow the platform to run cleanly across managed cloud, customer cloud, on premises, edge, and air gapped contexts\n\nPartner closely with colleagues across the organization to develop and standardise data platform solutions that solve cross-product challenges.\n\nCollaborate with Security and Mission stakeholders to define and enforce standards for access control, data protection, and system integrity.\n\nInfluence architecture, technology selection, and engineering standards across the company.\n\nRequirements\nWhat we are looking for\n7+ years of hands-on experience designing and delivering production grade software at scale.\n\nStrong system design skills and can make thoughtful tradeoffs across performance, reliability, scalability, and cost.\n\nProduction proficiency in Python.\n\nHands on experience architecting systems that handle multiple data modalities.\n\nWorking knowledge of container orchestration and deployment across varied infrastructure contexts\n\nRecent, hands-on experience building with agent frameworks.\n\nExpertise in AI-assisted development workflows using tools like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor.\n\nStrong API and cloud infrastructure fundamentals.\n\nExperience leading cross-team technical initiatives spanning multiple systems, and driven adoption through influence.\n\nAbility to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to a broad audience, including engineers, cross-functional partners, and end users.\n\nEligibility\nYou must be eligible to obtain UK Security Clearance (SC). This typically requires UK nationality, dual nationality or a minimum of five years continuous UK residency. Some projects may require higher clearance, which Adarga will sponsor.\nHiring Process\n· Initial conversation with the hiring manager\n· Technical interview with Member of Technical Staff\n· In person systems design exercise\n· Offer","description_format":"text","description_chars":3907,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Machine Learning","Intelligence"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-06-02T09:46:34Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":7,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.265,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":135,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-16T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/adarga-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/adarga-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T00:39:09Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":862,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":26401},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=26401"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fadarga-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fadarga-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fadarga-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/adarga-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fadarga-senior-software-engineer"}]}
