Skills
About the Role
You'll take ownership of Project Tricorder, a fast-moving venture at the intersection of software, hardware, defence and healthcare, driving it from concept to a working product in days rather than months. Working alongside the founder & CEO and the rest of the Founders Factory squad, you'll own the build and delivery end to end — architecting the solution, writing production-quality code, and shipping iterations at high velocity. You'll make pragmatic architecture and tooling decisions that balance speed with security and reliability, and you'll handle national security software and data responsibly by applying secure-by-design principles throughout. You'll work closely with stakeholders to validate direction and tighten feedback loops, and you'll set up lightweight but rigorous security, data-handling, and operational practices from day one.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering ability to design, build, and ship end to end without hand-holding
- A proven track record of shipping products fast, ideally in 0-to-1 or startup / venture-building contexts
- Hands-on experience working in national security, defence, or comparable sensitive-data environments
- Deep cyber security competence: secure development practices, threat awareness, and safe handling of classified or sensitive data
- Comfort with ambiguity, ownership, and rapid iteration under time pressure
- Eligibility to work in the UK and to undergo any security vetting the engagement requires
