Shape the Future of Software Engineering

We're looking for an AI-Native Software Engineer to help redefine how software is designed, delivered and operated in an AI-powered world. This is an opportunity to join a forward-thinking technology team where you'll solve complex business challenges, influence engineering standards, and help build the frameworks, guardrails and verification systems that enable the delivery of high-quality software at scale.

Rather than focusing solely on writing code, you'll be responsible for building reliable, observable and resilient systems while championing modern AI-native engineering practices. Success in this role is measured by customer outcomes, system reliability and engineering excellence.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Designing scalable, resilient and observable software systems.
  • Translating complex business requirements into clear technical solutions.
  • Defining architectural standards, boundaries and best practices.
  • Building automated testing, quality and verification frameworks.
  • Driving AI-native delivery approaches across engineering teams.
  • Capturing and documenting knowledge to improve collaboration between engineers and AI systems.
  • Mentoring colleagues and helping evolve engineering capability across the organisation.
  • Connecting technical decisions to measurable business outcomes.

What We're Looking For

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Strong software architecture and system design experience.
  • Deep understanding of testing, quality engineering and observability.
  • Experience using AI as a core part of the software development lifecycle.
  • Ability to define evidence-based approaches to software quality and reliability.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and influencing technical direction.
  • Passion for modern engineering practices and the future of AI-enabled software delivery.

Desirable Experience

  • Cloud-native platforms
  • Platform engineering
  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
  • Security engineering
  • Observability tooling
  • Automated quality and verification systems

Why Join?

  • Work remotely from anywhere in the UK, or collaborate from our London office.
  • Play a key role in shaping next-generation engineering practices.
  • Solve meaningful customer problems with modern technologies.
  • Join a collaborative and supportive team environment.
  • Enjoy genuine opportunities for growth, ownership and career progression.
  • Influence how AI is applied across products, platforms and engineering teams.
