Front-End Engineer (Contract) – Secure AI Systems for Defence
Contract | Inside IR35 | £600–£700/day | Hybrid / Secure Site | SC/DV Cleared | UK Nationals Only
Contract Length: Initial 3-month engagement (rolling), part of a 6–9 month roadmap
We’re supporting a cutting-edge AI organisation delivering a government-funded mission into the Defence sector. They’re seeking a talented Front-End Engineer to help build and iterate on user interfaces that bring complex machine learning outputs to life - transcription analysis, graph-based risk models, and natural-language interfaces for end users in secure, disconnected environments.
This is not your typical dashboard gig. It’s a chance to design and build offline-first, insight-rich tools that support real-world decision-making—where clarity and usability can have operational consequences.
What You’ll Be Doing:
* Designing and developing React-based UIs for:
* Live and retrospective transcription review
* Graph navigation and data visualisation
* Natural language querying
* Insight generation and reporting
* Building robust, offline-first interfaces that run in air-gapped, secure environments
* Creating visualisation components (e.g., networks, timelines) to support scenario analysis
* Integrating with backend APIs delivering LLM, NLP, and structured data outputs
* Contributing to internal design systems and building reusable, scalable components
* Collaborating closely with users and the wider delivery team to evolve features through feedback
What You’ll Bring:
* Strong experience building production-grade React applications with TypeScript, hooks, and modern state management
* Proven capability delivering rich data visualisations using D3, Recharts, Plotly, or similar libraries
* Experience creating interfaces that surface AI outputs; from LLMs, knowledge graphs, or analytics pipelines
* Familiarity with design systems, accessibility, and responsive UI practices
* Comfortable integrating front ends with data-heavy APIs or real-time backends
* (Bonus) Prior experience in Defence, government, or enterprise-class security environments
Why This Project?
You’ll be building the front end of real AI-powered tools for Defence decision-makers where clarity, usability, and reliability matter. From edge deployments to secure systems, this is work that will be seen, used, and relied on
