Join Pax8 as an AI Platform Lead, where you’ll shape how AI agents, tools, and workflows connect to our systems and data — turning ambition into production‑ready capability across the business.

This is a hybrid role, based in Farnborough, UK.

Why this role is different

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the centre of Pax8’s AI journey. You’ll design and own the platform layer that makes AI usable, trusted, and scalable across every department. As Pax8 grows into an agentic organisation, you’ll grow alongside the technology — setting standards, shipping real platforms, and seeing your work adopted daily by teams worldwide.

Few roles offer this level of ownership, visibility, and long‑term impact: you’re not joining a mature platform — you’re creating the foundation others will build on for years to come.

Life at Pax8

At Pax8, culture is not a side note — it’s core to how we operate. We’re a fast‑growing, cloud‑first organisation where innovation, autonomy, and collaboration are part of everyday work.
