About the Role

This role combines hands-on software engineering with client consultancy, taking ownership of projects from initial discovery through to building, deploying, and integrating bespoke AI-assisted solutions. You will work directly with senior stakeholders to understand their processes, identify opportunities for automation, and develop reliable software for live business environments.

Responsibilities

  • Own client engagements from initial discovery through to delivery, deployment, and ongoing improvement.
  • Interview users, operational teams, and senior stakeholders to understand existing processes and identify inefficiencies.
  • Run workshops and clearly explain proposed technical solutions to non-technical audiences.
  • Assess where AI and automation can deliver measurable operational or commercial value.
  • Design and build bespoke full-stack software solutions using AI-assisted development tools.
  • Review, understand, and take responsibility for all code produced.
  • Integrate new solutions into clients’ existing systems, workflows, and live environments.
  • Train client teams and support the successful adoption of new technology.
  • Measure whether delivered solutions have achieved the intended outcomes.
  • Build trusted client relationships and identify further opportunities to improve or automate their operations.
  • Progress towards managing client renewals and independently leading multiple engagements.

Requirements

  • Strong commercial experience as a full-stack Software Engineer, with the ability to build, understand, and review production-quality code.
  • Proficiency in at least one established programming language such as Python, Java, C#, or C++.
  • A degree in Computer Science, ideally achieving a 2:1 or First.
  • Strong client-facing experience, which may have been gained within software consultancy, solutions engineering, implementation, technical delivery, or a software company.
  • Experience gathering requirements, understanding business processes, and translating client problems into practical technical solutions.
  • Confident presenting technical concepts to senior stakeholders and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools while retaining a strong understanding of the underlying code.
  • Strong full-stack capability rather than experience limited to a highly specialized or low-level area of software engineering.
  • Excellent communication, questioning, and problem-solving skills.
  • Comfortable travelling regularly to client sites in London.
  • A full UK driving licence would be beneficial, but is not essential.
