Focus of the role:

This role is for an experienced, hands-on senior developer who wants to be at the forefront of AI-powered software development. You will work predominantly on customer projects, designing and delivering production-grade solutions that integrate large language models, agentic systems, and Azure AI services into real-world applications. As a senior member of the team, you will not only build - you will help define and prove the way we deliver AI solutions to clients, setting the standards, patterns, and practices that the wider business will adopt. 
 
If you are excited by vibe coding, AI-assisted development, and the rapidly evolving world of LLMs and autonomous agents - and you want to actually build with these technologies rather than just talk about them - this role is for you. 
 
For the first 6-12 months this role will sit within the AI and Data Innovation team, where you will establish and prove a mature, repeatable pattern of AI-powered delivery. Once that model is proven, you will transition into the Delivery team, taking those patterns into mainstream client engagements and helping to scale them across the business. 

Responsibilities:

Key Delivery Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and deployment of AI-integrated solutions for client engagements using modern full stack technologies.

• Integrate Azure AI services (Azure OpenAI, Cognitive Services, Azure ML, AI Search) into production applications.

• Architect and build LLM-powered features, agentic workflows, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations to a production standard.

• Work directly with clients to understand requirements, shape solutions, and translate them into working software.

• Provide technical leadership across engagements, setting the standard for code quality, engineering rigour, and AI-assisted delivery.

• Contribute to technical research, prototyping, and proof-of-concept development to support client proposals and win new work.

Shaping the Future Way of Working

Define and prove a mature, repeatable pattern for delivering AI solutions that can be scaled across the Delivery team.

Establish reusable tools, accelerators, and components that increase the speed and quality of AI delivery.

Explore and evaluate emerging AI technologies, frameworks, and development approaches, bringing the best of them into practice.

Champion the adoption of AI-assisted development practices (vibe coding, AI testing, agentic development) across the team and wider business.

Mentor and upskill other developers, building AI delivery capability as the model transitions into the Delivery team.

Help shape product and delivery strategy by identifying opportunities to package and position AI solutions.
