About the role
Reports to: Head of Engineering
Works With: Engineering Leadership, Product Managers, Designers, Software Engineers
Hours: 37.5 pw (9.30-6pm Monday to Friday, 1 hour lunch)
Term: Permanent
Location: Hybrid – London office based in Oval (2 days / week)
We are seeking a pragmatic, impact-driven AI-Native Senior Software Engineer to help evolve and extend our platform while guiding technical direction and supporting team development.
Our technology team comprises over 50 people across Product, UX and Engineering, working in cross-functional teams geographically distributed principally between the UK and Brazil with a technical operations team in the UK and South Africa. The current tech stack includes Python, TypeScript, and C# in Azure, GCP and AWS cloud environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Help the team move faster by adopting AI-native workflows and the shift to an agentic development lifecycle, without compromising the architectural qualities that make our platform reliable, scalable, and maintainable over the long term.
- Define guardrails, review practices, and validation gates that hold AI-generated code to our standards for security, reliability, and cost-efficiency (FinOps) — first-class concerns in agentic pipelines.
- Design, build, and operate software across our platform, applying the same rigor to AI-augmented work as to anything else you ship.
- Embed deeply with Product and Design from discovery through rapid prototyping and iteration to compress the gap between idea and validated solution.
- Own complex features and ambiguous technical problems end-to-end, leveraging AI tooling to increase throughput without sacrificing engineering rigor.
- Serve as a critical technical voice, stress-testing AI-generated solutions, surfacing second-order risks, and ensuring the team builds the right thing, not just the fast thing.
- Shape platform architecture with an architectural lens, contributing to long-term decisions about AI tooling, LLM integrations, and human-in-the-loop controls across the stack.
- Continuously identify and exploit opportunities to improve performance, reliability, and user experience using observability and analysis to find signals in noisy systems.
- Navigate across legacy and greenfield contexts, applying AI tooling pragmatically where it matters most.
- Set the engineering standard, demonstrating through your own work what excellent looks like when much of the code is AI-generated.
- Grow the team’s capability and confidence with AI-native practices, coaching junior engineers to think critically about model outputs, prompt design, and automation boundaries.
- Define and evolve best practices for code quality, testing, documentation, and delivery in a world where much of the first draft is AI-generated.
- Evolve CI/CD pipelines to incorporate agentic workflows, automated testing, AI-assisted code review, and intelligent deployment gates.
- Champion secure-by-design principles across both human-written and AI-generated code, embedding security validation into the development pipeline.
- Own system observability and reliability, moving from reactive alerting to proactive, model-assisted incident prevention.
- Participate in on-call rotation, bringing the same rigor to incident response that you bring to day-to-day development.
About you
You’re a hands-on senior engineer with a product mindset and the judgment to know which trade-offs matter. You care about business impact as much as engineering quality, and you’ve been building with AI tools long enough to know how to use them effectively.
You’ll likely bring
- Deep experience building scalable, secure, cloud-based systems, providing the foundation to guide and validate agentic workflow outputs.
- Proven ability to work across both legacy and greenfield codebases, using modern tooling to improve reliability and evolve architecture pragmatically.
- Strong system design fundamentals across scalability, performance, and distributed systems, including API design (REST, GraphQL).
- Hands-on experience with observability tooling (Datadog, Grafana, or similar) and a data-informed approach to system health and reliability.
- Solid SQL and data management skills with an appreciation for AI-enabled, data-driven systems.
- Familiarity with CI/CD, containerisation (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Docker), and DevSecOps practices in modern AI development environments.
- A pragmatic approach to testing, knowing what to cover, what to skip, and how to use AI to improve efficiency.
- Experience mentoring engineers and supporting the adoption of modern tools and AI-native workflows.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to articulate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly.
You’ll stand out if you
- Ask what problem are we solving and why before reaching for a solution.
- Act as a genuine partner to Product and Design, shaping the problem, not just delivering against a spec.
- Balance technical debt and feature delivery with long-term business value in mind.
- Make confident decisions with incomplete information and thrive in fast-moving environments.
- Bring curiosity and hands-on experience with agentic workflows to raise the bar for engineering.
Performance indicators
- Delivery of high-quality, reliable solutions that drive measurable customer and business value.
- Meaningful contribution to the evolution of the strategic platform and overall technical direction.
- Improved technical decision-making, engineering standards, and team capability.
- Effective mentorship and development of engineers within the team.
- Strong partnership with Product and Design, resulting in well-shaped, high-impact solutions.
- Improvements in system performance, reliability, and maintainability.
- Consistent adoption of engineering best practices and processes.
