# Principal Agentic Software Engineer

Introduction We are looking for exceptional Principal Agentic Software Engineers to join a major digital banking transformation programme and help establish a new standard for enterprise software delivery. This role represents the evolution of the Principal Software Engineer. Rather than focusing primarily on manually producing code, you will use enterprise AI engineering capabilities, development agents, AI Skills and structured instruction files to accelerate delivery while maintaining rigorous engineering standards. You will operate as the senior human-in-the-loop: directing agents, reviewing their outputs, making architecture decisions, identifying failure modes, improving the instructions that guide future work, and ensuring every solution is secure, performant, maintainable and production-ready. Technology choices will continue to evolve. Today's implementation may use .NET MAUI, while tomorrow's may use React Native, Flutter, Ionic or another emerging framework. Success therefore depends less on allegiance to a specific framework and more on deep engineering capability, strong systems thinking and an ability to learn and apply new technologies rapidly.
