  • 5 Impact Days for learning, innovation or volunteering
  • Flexible working environment
  • Enhanced parental leave
  • Annual wellbeing budget plus 2 wellbeing days

  • Company Mac

Requirements

Do you have experience in TypeScript?, * Strong understanding of software engineering workflows built around gen-AI

  • Solid hands-on experience with agentic coding tools
  • You've built applications that interact with LLMs via APIs, as both a contributor and a leader
  • A track record of modernising ways of working and embedding AI-based practices in a team
  • Technical team leadership
  • Versatile software development (Python, AWS, JavaScript/TypeScript, etc)
  • Architectural solution design
  • Organisational programme management

About the company

AI is changing how software gets built, fast, and we'd rather shape that than watch it happen. We're building our AI practice now, across the work we do for clients and the way we build internally, and we want someone to own it end to end. This isn't a strategy-deck role. You'll shape the vision for AI transformation across the business, set the technical agenda, and then actually build the thing. You'll be hands on with LLM APIs and agentic coding tools, and you'll be the person who gets the rest of the team building that way too. What you'll do Own a portfolio of AI transformation objectives across our clients and inside the lab. Take real business needs and turn them into practical digital products. Design elegant solutions to demanding technical problems, ship the early versions yourself, then bring colleagues along by experimenting, guiding and supporting them so the new ways of working actually stick. You'll move between the keyboard and the boardroom, translating between technical and business audiences and getting people genuinely excited about the work.
