# Graduate Software Engineer

- **Company:** ICS.AI Limited
- **Location:** Manchester, UK (Remote available)
- **Experience:** Starter
- **Salary:** £35,229.0
- **Contract:** Temporary contract
- **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, PostgreSQL, Software Architecture, ReactJS, Generative AI, Information Technology
- **Published:** August 2, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs/details/5824388303

## About the Role

* A Computer Science (or related) degree, or due to graduate

 * Evidence of learning beyond your course such as side projects, hackathons or independent certifications

 * Working knowledge of ReactJS and PostgreSQL

 * Hands-on experience with, or strong curiosity about, Generative AI tools such as Claude

 * A basic understanding of software architecture though you don't need to be an architect

 * No prior commercial experience required as this is a genuine graduate-level role

## Description

We're offering a graduate opportunity to join our Central POD as a Harness Operator. "The harness" is our governed AI engineering framework. It uses AI to build (or "print") client software at far greater speed than traditional development, while a human developer verifies every output before it ships. As a Harness Operator, you'll be right at the centre of this: turning client requirements into specifications, running build cycles, and checking the results against what the client actually asked for.

It's a fantastic entry point into a career in AI engineering and you'll get real, hands-on experience with modern AI tools (including Claude), modern web technologies, and how a fast-growing tech company delivers software to customers.

What You'll Do

 * Working with requirements and specifications for harness-printed products

 * Operate the harness by dispatching cycles and setting scope alongside our Architects

 * Review cycle outputs and relay summaries back against the original client need

 * Support basic architectural decisions under the guidance of our Technical Leads

 * Quality check software built with ReactJS and PostgreSQL
