At OakNorth were on a mission to empower the UKs most ambitious businesses. Since 2015 weve lent over $21 billion across the UK and US helped create more than 58000 new homes and 36000 new jobs and supported hundreds of thousands of personal savers all while fuelling the UK economy.
Were hiring Junior Software Engineers recent Computer Science graduates or early-career developers. Youll join our new AI-native engineering team: small highly autonomous teams working in an entirely new way. With your peers youll contribute across the full product development lifecycledesign build test and deploy within a highly autonomous pod.
This isnt an experiment at OakNorth. Its the clear direction for all our development practices and youll be at the forefront of this innovation.
Youll push the limits of modern AI tools then turn that capability into working systems used by real teams. Were looking for curious builderspeople who instinctively test compare break rebuild and optimize. Youll help shape what AI-native engineering culture looks like inside the bank. The focus is execution: rapid prototyping deployment and measurable impact.
Key Responsabilities
- Research emerging AI tools frameworks and coding methods
- Experiment with new approaches and validate technical feasibility
- Identify operational bottlenecks and redesign them using AI-native solutions
- Prototype rapidly using tools like Claude Code Cursor Copilot and Codexthen deploy into live environments
- Translate technical capability into business value
- Test and compare emerging AI tools for business impact
- Contribute to AI governance standards and best practices
What youll gain
- Direct exposure to multiple business functions and senior stakeholders
- Hands-on experience designing and deploying automation and AI solutions in a regulated financial environment
- Deep understanding of process optimization and automation best practices
- The opportunity to contribute to the development of AI governance standards and best practices.
