Software Engineer - AI Threat Defence

At Compare the Market, we re building a cyber immune system, a self-adaptive layer of defence that uses AI to detect, assess, and respond to threats faster than ever before. To make this real, we e launched Project Wingspan: a bold reinvention of how we respond to operational and cyber risk using safe, collaborative AI agents. We re looking for a Software Engineer to help shape this future. You ll work at the intersection of engineering, security, and AI to build systems that support real-time, human 6AI collaboration at scale. This is a greenfield mission with impact, you ll be designing the platforms, tools, and patterns that will underpin intelligent defence across CTM.

Responsibilities

• Build systems that are discoverable, composable, and controllable by AI agents
• Engineer scalable services that process and prioritise millions of operational and security signals
• Develop agent frameworks that allow safe, observable interaction between humans and AI
• Modernise legacy platforms to be compatible with autonomous detection and response
• Be a part of AI capabilities, Security Engineering, and Data teams to ensure alignment with CTM s broader AI strategy

Requirements

• Strong skills in modern software development (e.g. Python, Go, Java, or TypeScript)
• Experience building secure, scalable systems, preferably in real-time or event-driven environments
• Demonstrable experience with Agentic AI systems, RAG architecture, embedding and multiuser access
• Curiosity about AI/ML, agent systems, or intelligent automation
• A passion for building safe, observable, and responsible technology
• Ability to collaborate across disciplines, learn quickly, and lead by example
