Software Developer

Our client are a locally based software technology business, leading in the field of applying AI in building platforms to support compliance, risk and fraud detection solutions.

This is a small team, so what you build ships and gets used. You will report to the Lead Developer for AI and Platforms. You will own projects, not tickets. You take something from a rough idea to a running thing people rely on, and you keep it running.

As a Software Developer here you will:

• Build and own a number of projects end to end: backend, deployment, and the day-to-day of keeping them healthy

• Design systems that are simple to run and simple for the next person to read

• Work with AI agents as a normal part of how you build, and know when to trust them and when not to

• Integrate with third-party services (KYC providers, payment and gaming platforms, forensic datasources)

• Strong back-end engineering in at least one language, and the sense to pick the right tool rather than the familiar one

• Cloud and deployment: you can put a service into production and look after it, not just write the code

• Solid grounding in system design and engineering principles. You think about failure, data, and maintenance before you think about frameworks

• Fluent with agentic development. You’ve built real things with coding agents (Claude Code or similar) and you understand context management, skills and sub agents, prompting, and orchestration. You have a view on where they help and where they get in the way

• API design and integration: Clean interfaces, sensible contracts, third-party services wired in without drama

Desirable:

• Enough frontend and UI sense to build a decent interface, even if you’re not a front-end specialist

• Comfortable across several languages, for example Python, Go, or Java, and happy to pick up whatever a project calls for

• Application security, and care when handling sensitive data
