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. To make this real, we 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 mission. You’ll work at the intersection of engineering, security and AI to build systems that support real‑time, human–AI collaboration at scale.
- 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
- Collaborate with AI capabilities, security engineering, and data teams to align with CTM’s broader AI strategy
- 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
- 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
We’re a business built for pace and performance. Here, you’ll be encouraged to think differently, act boldly, and deliver brilliantly in a culture that values results and rewards progress. We believe diverse teams make better decisions and are committed to creating an inclusive workplace where everyone feels empowered to grow, contribute, and thrive.
If you’re ready to stretch yourself, raise the bar, and grow with a team that’s serious about performance, innovation and purpose, we’d love to hear from you.
