We are open to conversations about part-time hours. A note on AI: we're happy for you to use it for research and interview prep, but please don't use it to generate answers during live interviews. We also use an AI note-taker (Metaview) in interviews so interviewers can stay present (which you can opt out of just let us know,) and every application is reviewed by a human, never decided by AI. ## About Faculty ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Faculty is a British AI company that builds and deploys safe, human-led AI systems to help organizations across government and industry make better decisions and improve performance. - **Entity Type**: Private (Growth Stage) - **Headquarters**: London, United Kingdom - **Founded**: 2014 - **Founders**: Dr. Marc Warner (CEO), Dr. Angie Ma, and Andrew Brookes (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, AI Safety - **Target customers**: B2B, Enterprise, Government (including UK Ministry of Defence, NHS, and leading global brands) - **Mission or purpose statement**: "Putting AI to work for the world" — making AI useful by helping clients access cutting-edge AI to improve business performance. ## Products & Services - **Frontier (AI Operating System)**: Faculty’s proprietary AI platform that serves as the backbone for building, deploying, and managing AI solutions at scale.
