MID-SENIOR AGENTIC SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Build software differently. Engineer with AI. Shape what comes next.

Are you a software engineer who doesn't just want to use AI - but wants to engineer alongside it?

We're looking for Mid-Senior Agentic Software Engineers to join a next-generation digital transformation programme, where traditional software development meets AI-powered, agentic engineering.

This is an opportunity to help redefine how enterprise software gets designed, built, tested and delivered.

You’ll bring your strong software engineering foundations and combine them with AI development agents, intelligent workflows and human engineering judgement to deliver secure, scalable and production-ready solutions at speed.

THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT WRITING CODE

You'll work with AI as your engineering partner.

You'll use tools such as enterprise AI platforms, GitHub Copilot and Claude to:

  • Direct AI agents to build real software
  • Turn user stories, Figma designs and business rules into working solutions
  • Create and refine prompts, AI Skills and instruction files
  • Review and challenge AI-generated code
  • Identify security, performance and architectural risks
  • Build reusable AI-enabled engineering workflows
  • Continuously improve how AI contributes to software delivery

The AI writes code. You provide the engineering judgement.

WHAT YOU'LL BE BUILDING

This is full-stack, end-to-end engineering.

You could find yourself working across:

  • Frontend applications
  • Mobile and cross-platform experiences
  • Backend services
  • APIs and integrations
  • Cloud-native platforms
  • Data and persistence layers
  • CI/CD and DevSecOps
  • Automated testing
  • Observability and performance

The technology landscape will evolve, so we're looking for engineers who can learn fast, adapt quickly and aren't tied to a single framework or language.

THE AGENTIC ENGINEERING MINDSET

We're looking for engineers who are:

AI-NATIVE

You know how to use AI to dramatically increase your productivity - without outsourcing your engineering judgement.

CURIOUS

You enjoy experimenting with new tools, frameworks and ways of building software.

FRAMEWORK-AGNOSTIC

React Native today? Flutter tomorrow? .NET MAUI next? You can adapt.

CONSTRUCTIVELY SCEPTICAL

AI-generated code isn't automatically good code. You know how to question it, test it and improve it.

SYSTEMS-THINKING

You understand how individual components fit into larger, complex enterprise systems.

QUALITY-OBSESSED

Security, scalability, performance, testing and maintainability aren't optional extras.

CONTINUOUSLY LEARNING

You're excited about where software engineering is heading - and want to help shape it.

Requirements

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

We're looking for 4-8 years of professional software engineering experience, with strong foundations and a clear trajectory toward senior-level capability.

You'll ideally have:

  • Strong full-stack software engineering experience
  • Experience delivering complex enterprise applications
  • Frontend, backend, API and cloud experience
  • Understanding of distributed systems and modern application architecture
  • Strong software design and engineering principles
  • Commercial mobile/cross-platform development experience
  • React Native and/or Flutter experience highly advantageous
  • Experience with .NET MAUI, Swift, Kotlin or Ionic advantageous
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools
  • Exposure to AI agents, prompts, instruction files or AI engineering workflows
  • The ability to recognise when AI-generated code is incorrect, insecure or poorly designed

ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE STILL MATTERS

AI may accelerate development - but engineering standards don't change.

You'll be expected to understand and apply:

Software Architecture

  • Secure Coding
  • SOLID
  • Design Patterns
  • TDD
  • DDD
  • API Design
  • CI/CD
  • DevSecOps
  • Distributed Systems
  • Cloud-Native Engineering
  • Observability
  • Performance
  • Accessibility
  • Technical Debt Management

WHY THIS ROLE?

Because software engineering is changing.

This isn't a traditional Software Engineer role - and it isn't simply an AI Engineer role either.

It's a role for engineers who want to sit at the intersection of software engineering and agentic AI.

You'll have the opportunity to:

Accelerate how software is built

Work directly with AI development agents

Develop next-generation engineering practices

Influence how AI is used across enterprise delivery

Work across evolving technologies and frameworks

Build production-grade enterprise software

Help shape the future of software engineering

The programme's goal is to establish a new standard for AI-enabled software delivery, and you'll be part of building that capability.
