The Mission : We are looking for a Deep Tech Architect to co-pilot the build of the "Digital Immune System" for critical infrastructure.

What You Will Do :

• Security First : Implement "Sovereign-Grade" security protocols (encryption, IAM, zero-trust) compliant with UK Defence and Critical National Infrastructure standards.
• Prototype to Product : Refine the current MVP algorithms into scalable, deployable code for paid pilot schemes.
• IP Strategy : Work with legal teams to ensure all code is patent-ready and protected.
