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, particularly around who we hire, will define not just how fast we grow, but who we become.
This role is not about maintaining a hiring process. It is about building the talent engine of the company -setting the bar, shaping the culture and ensuring we bring in people who thrive under real responsibility and real mission pressure.
You will work closely with us and the leadership team. You will be trusted with judgment calls. You will influence strategy. And you will see the impact of your work every day in the calibre of the team we build.
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.
