## Description

They're looking for Software Engineers who have been immersed in Agentic Engineering'; using AI coding tools as a fundamental tenet of your day-to day.

The Software Engineer won't just write code. You'll explore how AI can improve the entire SDLC, whilst driving AI Adoption internally + ensuring quality output!

Ultimately you will think about what tools to use, help teams adopt best practices and see if other teams can benefit too!

Looking at AI-coding zero to 1. Think research, planning, building, implementing, coaching and working cross functionally!

What You'll Be Doing

1) Software Engineering

2) Problem solving, experimentation and collaboration.

You'll:

 * Build and deliver AI-enabled software solutions from concept through to production
 * Use AI-assisted development tools to improve software engineering and delivery
 * Explore and implement agentic AI workflows and techniques for reliable automation
 * Help engineering and product teams adopt AI-enabled development practices
 * Develop reusable engineering approaches, examples and best practices
 * Ensure solutions align with architectural patterns, coding standards and performance requirements
 * Work across engineering, architecture, security, QA and platform teams
 * Help teams understand both the capabilities and limitations of AI within software development
