Principal Software Engineer, Global Public Sector
Scale’s rapidly growing Global Public Sector team is focused on using AI to address critical challenges facing the public sector around the world. Our core work consists of:
Creating custom AI applications that will impact millions of citizens
Generating high-quality training data for national LLMs
Upskilling and advisory services to spread the impact of AI
We are hiring a Principal Engineer to join a small team of our most senior engineers who take on the problems no one else can. You will work at the earliest stage of our engagements: shaping the technical approach with clients, defining the technology we build on, and turning ideas into working prototypes fast. You will step in when a project is stuck or a problem is unusually hard, and turn what you learn in the field into shared capabilities every team can build on.
This is a very senior, hands-on role. Our engineering organisation is young, so mentoring is a core part of the job: you will raise the bar for how we design, build and deliver, and grow the next generation of technical leaders around you. The role is based in London.
At Scale, we’re not just building AI solutions, we are building repeatable blocks to enable the public sector to transform their operations and better serve citizens through cutting-edge technology. …
