£800–£900/day | Outside IR35 Preferred | London Hybrid (2 days/week) | ASAP

I'm working with a leading Fintech looking for 4–5 experienced Software Engineers to help embed Claude Code across their engineering teams.

This isn't a traditional AI Engineering role. You'll be working directly with developers, pairing, coaching and helping teams integrate Claude Code into their everyday engineering workflows.

What you'll be doing:

• Working directly with backend and full-stack engineering teams to embed Claude Code into their daily development workflows.
• Pair programming and coaching engineers on effective AI-assisted development.
• Implementing and optimising CLAUDE.md files, custom slash commands, subagents, hooks and context management.
• Helping teams integrate AI into testing, CI/CD, code reviews and secure development practices.
• Identifying opportunities to improve engineering productivity and providing feedback on team adoption and capability.
• Working across established codebases and adapting your approach to different engineering teams.

What we're looking for:

• Strong background as a Senior, Staff or Principal Software Engineer, ideally backend-focused.
• Extensive hands-on experience using Claude Code within real engineering environments.
• Practical understanding of agentic coding workflows, context management, subagents and custom tooling.
• Strong Python experience, with exposure to Ruby/Rails or Clojure beneficial.
• Experience working with AWS, CI/CD pipelines and modern engineering practices.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to coach, mentor and influence experienced engineers.
• Someone who remains hands-on technically and enjoys working alongside other developers.
