Crynodeb
Government must seize the opportunity of AI to drive outcomes in the public interest. This is of critical importance now. Government needs innovation and must not sleep on the opportunity presented by AI to drive better services for taxpayers and citizens.
In November 2023, the creation of the incubator for AI (i.AI) was announced, and following early successes, the team was expanded in March 2024. Our mission is to harness the opportunity of AI to improve lives, drive growth, and deliver better public services. This is an AI product team that focuses on delivery of technical solutions to public service challenges, responding to ministerial steers about priorities and driving impact out into departments from the centre.
i.AI delivers high impact products and is mission-led, delivering value and innovation within government. We are able to move fast and build things, and are set up specifically to pivot quickly towards priority use cases, and re-use technologies for future impact.
You can see more about our work on ai.gov.uk and on LinkedIn. We work in the open and our code can be found here: https://github.com/i-dot-ai
The Incubator for Artificial Intelligence (i.AI) will be moving to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) to form part of the new digital centre of government. If offered the position, you will be on-boarded to, and initially employed by, the Cabinet Office, but will move with us to DSIT under the machinery of government change. This is expected to happen on 1st June 2025, but this date is subject to change. If shortlisted, the hiring panel will be happy to answer any questions you might have. You're also welcome to reach out to us at i-dot-ai-recruitment@cabinetoffice.gov.uk
Our team is based across Bristol, Manchester and London, and we work in a hybrid manner as default. A minimum 60% of your working time should be spent at your principal workplace, although requirements to attend other locations for official business will also count towards this level of attendance. We will consider part-time and flexible working arrangements - we encourage you to discuss your needs with the hiring manager if you are offered the role.
About the role
We are seeking a talented Cloud Platform Engineer to join our leading AI team. You will collaborate with AI engineers, researchers and other roles to architect and implement the platform that powers our cutting-edge AI products and services.
This is a radical innovation team, and we hire team members who are collaborative, energetic, and are motivated to “get stuff done”, as well as being optimistic big picture thinkers. This role is perfect for somebody looking to operate in a start-up environment, using their skills and experience in central Government to make things happen for the public good.
You will be expected to take initiative, playing a convening function to bring together the whole team, and make i.AI the best it can be. This might mean working outside of your direct remit, for example getting stuck into AI projects, or operational management of the team - if this sounds exciting, we’d love to hear from you!
Role Responsibilities
- Build and design cutting-edge cloud architecture that can support rapid development of in-house prototypes and then be rolled out and leveraged across government for transformational impact across the public sector.
- Support the team to develop our AI capability and build out a modern and flexible architecture that can be leveraged for a whole variety of projects.
- Collaborate across the civil service working with existing technical solutions and understand how to best build into existing architectures.
- Build robust and secure infrastructure that is capable of meeting security standards when handling sensitive data.
- Work flexibly with all team members to deliver on the mission of i.AI - to harness the power of AI for the public good. This means sometimes you will be working outside of your direct brief.
