Two UK intelligence agencies are actively recruiting “neurodiverse” individuals and tech wizards – in the molds of iconic code-breaker, Alan Turing and James Bond’s ‘Q’, respectively – to tackle emerging cyber-security challenges.

The Secret Intelligence Service, better known as MI6 has put out a job advert for a “Director General Q” to lead a team of boffins that turn “disruptive technologies from threats to our operations into opportunities” to help with its mission against the country’s “hardest adversaries.”

The successful candidate, who will not be “publicly avowed,” will answer to MI6 chief Richard Moore – who apparently goes by the letter ‘C’ and not ‘M’. Over the past week, Moore took to radio and social media to pitch the vacancy, which is less about exploding pens than might be expected.
