Join the team

Explore our current opportunities and put your expertise to work on some of the most consequential problems in defence, security and resilience. 





Is this the right place for you?

Our customers make decisions with significant consequences, and that gives the work a clear seriousness of purpose. We look for people who find that responsibility motivating: people who want to understand the problem, take ownership and see their work through to something impactful. 

You do not need to come from a particular career background to thrive here. We look for curiosity, initiative and sound judgement. You should feel comfortable taking responsibility, working through uncertainty and asking for help when you need it. Nobody expects you to arrive with every answer - finding answers together is part of working here. 

About Adarga

We build AI for defence, security and resilience, helping people make informed decisions when time is short and the stakes are high. Our customers face growing volumes of information fragmented across systems, while instability increases the pace at which they need to act. Our purpose is to help them make sense of that information and create positive mission outcomes. 

We built our first natural language processing pipeline in 2016 and have evolved through every major shift since: knowledge graphs, transformers, large language models and agents. Ten years in, AI is at the core of what we do. Our technology is trusted in live operational environments, and we understand what it takes to build and deliver software for those conditions. 

Joining Adarga means contributing to that work. It brings together people with different skills and perspectives, united by an interest in difficult problems and delivering work that makes a difference in practice. 

Working in our team

Adarga brings together engineers, who ship production software, and domain specialists with first-hand experience of defence, security and resilience. They work in the same teams, on the same problems, combining technical expertise with a clear understanding of what customers need. That connection shapes what we build and how we judge whether it works. 

Our client use-cases are complex and often unsolved. The data can be fragmented, sensitive and spread across systems that were never designed to work together. Making progress takes curiosity, persistence and the judgement to know when to push an approach further or change direction. For the people who thrive here, that is a large part of the appeal. 

AI is a key part of our working day, with more than 85% of our people using AI tools every week. We draw on multiple frontier models under the same governance standards we apply for our customers, giving us first-hand experience of the opportunities and responsibilities that come with the technology we deliver.
