This is both a significant milestone for us and a tremendous opportunity for you. Acuity Analytics is a business with a strong global reputation, an impressive client base and ambitious growth plans. We deliver deep insights and domain-led digital transformation to high-growth and heavily regulated organisations. To our customers, we bring a partnership that provides the talent, technology and capability to enhance performance and operational efficiency.\nOverview\nWe are seeking a Principal Software & AI Engineer to act as a technical leader across the full delivery lifecycle - from shaping solutions with customers to building, deploying, and operating them in production. You combine deep fullstack engineering expertisewith hands-on AI engineering capabilities and a strong DevOps foundation. Equally comfortable in front of a whiteboard with a client and deep in a codebase, you translate business problems into robust, scalable architectures, lead by example on technical quality, and mentor engineers across teams. This is a hands-on principal role: you set technical direction, drive solutioning, and remain close to the code.\nKey Responsibilities\nArchitect and build fullstack applications end to end, from modern web frontends through backend services, APIs, and data layers.\n\nDesign, develop, and operationalize Generative AI capabilities - including LLM-based solutions, RAG pipelines, prompt and context engineering, model integration, evaluation, and guardrails - and embed them into production applications.\n\nLead technical solutioning in collaboration with customers: gather requirements, shape architectures, scope and estimate work, and present technical proposals and trade-offs to both technical and business stakeholders.\n\nOwn the DevOps lifecycle - CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, containerization, orchestration, and observability - ensuring secure, reliable, and repeatable delivery.\n\nSet and uphold engineering standards across architecture, code quality, testing, and security.\n\nMentor and coach engineers, lead technical reviews, and grow capability across the team.\n\nAct as a trusted technical advisor to clients, supporting pre-sales and discovery alongside delivery.\n\nRequired Skills & Experience\nExtensive fullstack engineering experience. The specific stack is open, but you must be highly proficient with modern frameworks on both frontend (e.g. TypeScript with React or Angular) and backend (e.g. Python, Node.js, Java, or .NET).\n\nDemonstrated AI engineering experience: building and shipping production Generative AI solutions, working with LLMs, embeddings/vector stores, RAG, orchestration frameworks, and model evaluation and monitoring.\n\nStrong DevOps background: CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform / Bicep), Docker, Kubernetes, and hands-on experience with Microsoft Azure (mandatory - our primary cloud platform).\n\nProven technical consulting and pre-sales experience: directly engaging customers, leading solutioning and architecture discussions, supporting discovery and pre-sales, and communicating clearly with both engineers and business stakeholders.\n\nTrack record of technical leadership and mentoring appropriate to a principal-level role.\n\nSolid grasp of software architecture, design patterns, security, and scalability.\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with Microsoft Foundry or comparable AI platforms and tooling. \nFamiliarity with additional cloud providers alongside Azure, and a broad range of frameworks across the stack. \nContributions to technical strategy, capability building, or thought leadership. \nExperience with LLMOps practices for the lifecycle management of Generative AI systems.\nWhy join us\nPeople are at the Heart of our Business. By investing in people, we achieve exceptional results for our clients and create new opportunities for our teams to thrive.
