Senior Backend Engineer

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDERS

Oxford Dynamics is at an inflection point.

We operate in some of the most complex and high-stakes environments in the world - defence, national security, AI and robotics. The decisions we make now will define not just how fast we grow, but who we become.

You will work closely with the entire team. You will be trusted with judgment calls. You will influence the business. And you will see the impact of your work every day.

If you are excited by ownership, pace and purpose - and by building something that genuinely matters - we would love to hear from you.

Who We Are

Founded in 2020, Oxford Dynamics is a fast-growing UK deep-tech company developing AI and robotic systems designed to operate in mission-critical environments.

Our flagship AVIS (A Very Intelligent System) AI framework fuses multi-modal data - text, imagery, telemetry and sensor feeds - enabling operators to interrogate complex information at speed and make better decisions under pressure. Our STRIDER robotic platform performs autonomous tasks in hazardous environments, protecting people while extending operational reach.

Our ambition is simple but demanding: to converge AI and robotics so machines can sense, understand and act in complex, real-world environments.

We work with defence and security organisations internationally to help protect nations, infrastructure and lives.

What You Will Be Doing

You'll sit at the core of our product, building the systems that make advanced AI usable in the real world. If you enjoy owning backend services end to end, care deeply about reliability and API quality, and want to work hands-on in a high-impact environment, this role offers both autonomy and real impact.
