Job Summary

MIDSENIOR AGENTIC SOFTWARE ENGINEER

Build software differently. Engineer with AI. Shape what comes next.

Are you a software engineer who doesnt just want to use AI but wants to engineer alongside it

Were looking for MidSenior Agentic Software Engineers to join a next-generation digital transformation programme where traditional software development meets AI-powered agentic engineering.

This is an opportunity to help redefine how enterprise software gets designed built tested and delivered.

Youll bring your strong software engineering foundations and combine them with AI development agents intelligent workflows and human engineering judgement to deliver secure scalable and production-ready solutions at speed.

THIS ISNT JUST ABOUT WRITING CODE

Youll work with AI as your engineering partner.

Youll use tools such as enterprise AI platforms GitHub Copilot and Claude to:

  • Direct AI agents to build real software
  • Turn user stories Figma designs and business rules into working solutions
  • Create and refine prompts AI Skills and instruction files
  • Review and challenge AI-generated code
  • Identify security performance and architectural risks
  • Build reusable AI-enabled engineering workflows
  • Continuously improve how AI contributes to software delivery

The AI writes code. You provide the engineering judgement.

WHAT YOULL BE BUILDING

This is full-stack end-to-end engineering.

You could find yourself working across:

  • Frontend applications
  • Mobile and cross-platform experiences
  • Backend services
  • APIs and integrations
  • Cloud-native platforms
  • Data and persistence layers
  • CI/CD and DevSecOps
  • Automated testing
  • Observability and performance

The technology landscape will evolve so were looking for engineers who can learn fast adapt quickly and arent tied to a single framework or language.

THE AGENTIC ENGINEERING MINDSET

Were looking for engineers who are:

AI-NATIVE
You know how to use AI to dramatically increase your productivity without outsourcing your engineering judgement.

CURIOUS
You enjoy experimenting with new tools frameworks and ways of building software.

FRAMEWORK-AGNOSTIC
React Native today Flutter MAUI next You can adapt.

CONSTRUCTIVELY SCEPTICAL
AI-generated code isnt automatically good code. You know how to question it test it and improve it.

SYSTEMS-THINKING
You understand how individual components fit into larger complex enterprise systems.

QUALITY-OBSESSED
Security scalability performance testing and maintainability arent optional extras.

CONTINUOUSLY LEARNING
Youre excited about where software engineering is heading and want to help shape it.



Requirements
WHAT YOULL BRING

Were looking for 48 years of professional software engineering experience with strong foundations and a clear trajectory toward senior-level capability.

Youll ideally have:

  • Strong full-stack software engineering experience
  • Experience delivering complex enterprise applications
  • Frontend backend API and cloud experience
  • Understanding of distributed systems and modern application architecture
  • Strong software design and engineering principles
  • Commercial mobile/cross-platform development experience
  • React Native and/or Flutter experience highly advantageous
  • Experience MAUI Swift Kotlin or Ionic advantageous
  • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools
  • Exposure to AI agents prompts instruction files or AI engineering workflows
  • The ability to recognise when AI-generated code is incorrect insecure or poorly designed
ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE STILL MATTERS

AI may accelerate development but engineering standards dont change.

Youll be expected to understand and apply:

Software Architecture Secure Coding SOLID Design Patterns TDD DDD API Design CI/CD DevSecOps Distributed Systems Cloud-Native Engineering Observability Performance Accessibility Technical Debt Management

WHY THIS ROLE

Because software engineering is changing.

This isnt a traditional Software Engineer role and it isnt simply an AI Engineer role either.

Its a role for engineers who want to sit at the intersection of software engineering and agentic AI.

Youll have the opportunity to:

Accelerate how software is built
Work directly with AI development agents
Develop next-generation engineering practices
Influence how AI is used across enterprise delivery
Work across evolving technologies and frameworks
Build production-grade enterprise software
Help shape the future of software engineering
The programmes goal is to establish a new standard for AI-enabled software delivery and youll be part of building that capability.
