Full description
Ready to take ownership of technically ambitious software from idea to production?Want to work with AI and data-focused teams while still being firmly rooted in software engineering?Looking for a senior role where technical leadership, mentoring and future line management are genuinely part of the opportunity?
Our client is building technology designed to modernise an established sector through AI, data and modern software engineering. They’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to become a key contributor within their R&D-focused technology team on a fixed-term contract.
This is an opportunity to work across the complete engineering lifecycle: experimenting and prototyping, building production-quality applications, solving integration challenges and getting technology successfully deployed. You’ll also have the scope to lead projects end-to-end, mentor engineers and step into technical leadership and line management as the team develops.
Why This Role is Great
You won’t be confined to one small part of the stack. Instead, you’ll have the opportunity to:
- Own meaningful engineering challenges, helping develop, test and maintain new products, projects and technical initiatives.
- Build across a modern technology stack including React, TypeScript, Material UI, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, Helm and AWS.
- Take software from experimentation to reality, working across prototyping, integration, deployment and operationalisation.
- Collaborate closely with AI and product specialists, including Machine Learning Engineers, ML Scientists and Product Managers.
- Shape engineering standards, improving internal tooling, reusable frameworks, development practices and deployment approaches.
- Champion excellent engineering, using code reviews, pair programming and mentoring to help other developers grow.
- Solve complex technical problems, particularly around software, data, integrations and production deployments.
- Influence technical direction, communicating trade-offs, risks and delivery considerations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Develop your leadership experience, taking the lead on engineering projects and potentially supporting people through line management as the team grows.
About You
This could be a particularly exciting next move if you’re an experienced Software Engineer, Senior Software Engineer, Full-Stack Engineer or Backend Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems and wants exposure to AI and data-driven technology.
