We're seeking a Principal developer, to work predominantly on the implementation of AI & code generation tooling across a wide range of products, specifically software integrations

The purpose of this role is to provide both the technical guidance for change within a given area or platform and to advocate for a talented team of software and QA engineers.

In this role, you will balance three main focuses dependent on the group’s need:

1. on designing scalable, high-performance solutions—particularly within the AI-enhanced Integrations domain;
2. mentoring team members and influencing the technical direction of the organization;
3. hands-on contribute to achieve sprint goals –implementation of new features or maintenance.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams but will not have direct line management responsibilities.

What you'll be doing

• Code quality and best practices: Define and enforce coding standards, review code for quality, and establish best practices for software development leveraging available tech-stack and tooling, including AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot. Encourage thorough and consistent documentation, including AI-supported validation where applicable.

• Mentorship: Mentor and guide less experienced engineers, promoting technical growth and skill development across the team, especially in AI-first engineering practices and integration design patterns.

• Cross-team collaboration: Work closely with product managers, designers, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical deliverables, with a focus on intelligent and automated integration solutions.

• Technology evaluation: Stay current with emerging technologies, evaluate their potential, and advocate for the adoption of new tools, frameworks, and methodologies—including AI/LLM integration, prompt engineering, and orchestration of APIs like OpenAI and Azure OpenAI.

Experience & Skills 

• Strong experience and knowledge of Microsoft .NET stack & technologies.

• Proven experience in defining Software Development technical processes based on tooling that supports maximising developer output and quality (e.g. automating code analysis, code reviews, and documentation), including AI-powered tooling.

• Technical mentorship of Software Developers of different experience levels.

• Preferred experience of CI / CD and test automation including performance testing, ideally with AI-generated test cases.

• Hands-on experience or strong interest in AI/LLM integration, including prompt engineering and orchestration of APIs like OpenAI and Azure OpenAI.

• Familiarity with code generation techniques such as Roslyn, T4 templates, or source generators.

What's in it for you?

• Remote/Hybrid working
• The chance to work in a cutting edge technical environment, adopting latest AI code generation activities
• Investment in your future career with a variety of learning and development opportunities.
• No dress code - embrace the freedom to bring your whole self to work.
  
• 25 days annual leave, plus bank holidays. You'll even get your birthday off, too!
