Why Neuron
Neuron is building the machine internet. Sensors, drones, robots and software are becoming autonomous, but they can't yet find, trust or work with each other across organisations. Neuron is the coordination layer that changes that: the DNS and routing for agentic physical systems.
Each organisation runs its own Neuron console and registers its systems as agents with a verifiable identity. Other organisations can then discover those agents, trust them and work with them through shared protocols, across organisational and national boundaries, without anyone giving up control of their systems or data. Everything on the network is ready to work with AI agents.
It is already live and paid for. There are 470+ agents on our network, and we have won £4.3M in grants and sales since 2019, £1.7M of it since June 2026, from the UK CAA, Innovate UK and the European Space Agency. We are also part of NATO's multinational test and evaluation for counter-drone systems.
We started in lower airspace, where we know the domain best:
- 4DSKY, our community sensor network for aircraft tracking, with hundreds of active receivers across the UK and Europe.
- Funded programmes with the CAA, Innovate UK and the European Space Agency: federated surveillance for airspace modernisation, ground-based detect-and-avoid for drones, counter-drone sensing at a regional airport, and distributed acoustic drone detection.
- Deployments of airspace surveillance networks for defence and UAS operators.
Neuron is expanding rapidly. We are a team of 7 in London today, growing across product, engineering and delivery, and we are hiring exceptional people who want to build the infrastructure autonomous systems will run on. You would join early, with real ownership from your first week, share options in what you build, and work that goes straight into live operations at airports, along coastlines and in defence exercises.
The role
You make our products something customers love to use. You look after all of them: C2OS, our command-and-control platform; 4DSKY, our community sensor network; and the Neuron console, which each customer runs to connect their systems. The people using them run airspace, counter-drone and defence operations, working alongside the AI agents our network connects. You turn the product strategy into reality: you define how each feature should work, design and build the interface customers use every day, write the requirements our engineers build from, and make sure everything we ship is high quality. It's a hands-on role for an engineer who cares as much about the people using the product as about the code behind it.
What you'll do
- Work with the Head of Engineering (our CEO until they join) to turn the product strategy into a roadmap of features, and define the detail of each: user journeys, workflows, edge cases and how it should behave.
- Design and build the user interface and experience yourself: the console's screens and onboarding, C2OS's operator displays and real-time maps, and the 4DSKY app.
- Write the requirements and acceptance criteria our engineers, including our outsourced development partner, build the back end from.
- Own product quality: test what's built against the requirements, run acceptance before each release, and decide with the Head of Engineering when it's ready for customers.
- Talk to customers and operators, watch how they use the product, and feed what you learn back into the design.
- Prototype new ideas quickly, including AI agents that work with the systems customers register, and line up programme needs with our Systems and Assurance Engineer.
What you'll bring
- Front-end and full-stack engineering you have shipped, in TypeScript and a modern framework such as React, with real users relying on it.
- UX design: you design interfaces and workflows that customers love, not only implement someone else's designs.
- Product requirements and specifications that other engineers built from.
- Owning the quality of a shipped product: acceptance testing, release readiness and triaging what users hit.
- AI, IoT, robotics or connected-device products.
- UK-based and eligible for SC clearance.
Nice to have
Real-time maps and data visualisation; operator or mission-control interfaces; counter-UAS or defence systems; building with AI agents or large language models; drones, sensors or airspace; geospatial or aviation data such as ADSB; early-stage start-up experience.
What we offer
- Holiday: 25 days plus UK public holidays; one extra day for each year of service, up to five; your birthday off
- Pension: Neuron pays 3% of your full basic salary
- Share options: EMI options, vesting over four years with a one-year cliff
- Sick pay: Up to 10 days at full pay a year once probation is complete
- Working pattern: Remote until our London office opens, then one to three days a week there; flexible hours around a 10:00–16:00 UTC core
- Development: Support for training and professional development
- Probation: Six months
Contractors are paid a day rate and do not receive the employee benefits. Work for defence customers needs SC clearance, so this role needs eligibility for it.
How we hire
We give feedback within 24 hours of each stage.
1. A 30-minute screening call with Matt, our hiring partner.
2. A one-hour conversation with our CEO and, for engineering roles, our Chief Architect or incoming Head of Engineering: one project you owned end to end, then a short live scenario.
3. A short practical exercise on a fictional case (a delivery plan, a specification or a test plan, depending on the role), then a final discussion and your questions.
