Lead the development of intelligent software solutions powered by modern engineering and AI.

We're partnering exclusively with an innovative technology business that is investing heavily in both its engineering capability and AI adoption.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Senior Software Developer who enjoys solving complex technical problems, influencing architecture and mentoring other developers while embracing modern AI-assisted software engineering.

You'll play a key role in designing scalable cloud-based solutions, driving engineering best practice and helping shape how AI is embedded throughout the software development lifecycle.

If you're someone who enjoys building robust software whilst continually exploring new technologies, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact.

The Opportunity

Working alongside experienced engineers, architects and product teams, you'll be responsible for designing and delivering high-quality software whilst providing technical leadership across projects.

This isn't simply a hands-on coding role.

You'll influence technical direction, improve engineering standards, mentor developers and help introduce AI-enabled development practices that improve both developer productivity and product quality.

What you'll be doing

• Designing and developing scalable, secure enterprise software solutions
• Influencing software architecture and technical design decisions
• Building modern REST APIs and distributed services
• Developing cloud-native applications within Azure
• Working with Infrastructure as Code, Docker and Kubernetes
• Supporting CI/CD pipelines and DevOps best practices
• Mentoring developers and promoting engineering excellence
• Driving Agile delivery and collaborating closely with Product and Architecture teams
• Identifying opportunities to leverage AI throughout software development and product delivery
• Championing secure software engineering and continuous improvement

Essential Skills & Experience

We're looking for strong commercial experience across most of the following:

• C# /.NET development
• Azure Cloud
• REST APIs
• SQL and database design
• Docker & Kubernetes
• Terraform / Infrastructure as Code
• CI/CD pipelines

You'll ideally have commercial experience using tools such as:

• Cursor
• Claude
• Codex
• GitHub Copilot
• ChatGPT

Alongside a strong understanding of:

• AI-assisted software engineering
• Agentic development workflows
• Prompt engineering
• Reviewing and validating AI-generated code
• Secure and responsible AI adoption
• Taking AI-generated code through testing, code review and production deployment

This is a genuine requirement for the role rather than simply an interest in AI.

You'll thrive here if you...

• Love solving complex technical challenges
• Enjoy mentoring other engineers
• Take pride in producing high-quality software
• Balance innovation with pragmatic engineering
• Stay curious about emerging technologies
• Want to help shape how AI is adopted within an engineering function

What's on offer?

• £55,000-£60,000
• Hybrid working (typically between 1 day per week and 1 day per month onsite)
• Modern engineering environment
• Genuine AI-first engineering culture
• Technical ownership and influence
• Career progression
• Collaborative engineering team
• Excellent benefits package

If you're an experienced Senior Software Developer looking to work with modern cloud technologies, influence technical direction and play a key role in AI-enabled software engineering, we'd love to hear from you.
