The Company

A London‑based end‑client is embarking on a major engineering transformation - moving from a fully manual software development lifecycle to a modern, automated, AI‑assisted SDLC.

They are looking for a hands‑on Senior Software Engineer to lead this transition and introduce AI‑augmented development practices across the organisation.

Roles & Responsibilities

You will be responsible for transforming their current delivery model by:

• Assessing an entirely manual SDLC and designing a modern automated workflow
• Introducing CI/CD, test automation, code quality guardrails, and deployment automation
• Embedding AI tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, Azure AI) into day‑to‑day engineering
• Using AI in solo and pair‑programming workflows to build and ship production code
• Training and upskilling the internal engineering team on AI‑powered development
• Establishing best practice, governance, documentation, and ongoing standards

Skills & Experience

• Strong commercial experience in .NET and React
• Proven ability to build and deploy production‑ready code
• Hands‑on experience using Claude or similar AI tools to accelerate delivery
• Track record implementing automated SDLC environments
• CI/CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, etc.)
• Test automation (unit, integration, E2E)
• Infrastructure‑as‑Code (Terraform/Bicep experience beneficial)

Who They’re Looking For

Someone who has:

• Led development from manual → automated engineering workflows
• Embedded AI tooling into real‑world development practices
• Strong architecture, delivery, and communication skills
• The ability to move quickly, make decisions, and drive transformation
• A passion for modern engineering and AI‑accelerated development
