STAFF SOFTWARE ENGINEER

We are looking for an experienced Staff Software Engineer to provide hands-on technical leadership across the design and delivery of up-to-date, secure and scalable software platforms.

This role is suited to an engineer with deep backend and distributed-systems expertise who can work across the broader technology stack and has practical experience using AI and GenAI to build better software and improve engineering productivity.

You will operate across architecture and delivery - solving complex engineering problems, establishing reusable patterns, mentoring engineers and helping teams deliver high-quality software at greater speed.

CORE STACK

.NET / C# • Python • Next.js / TypeScript • Cloud-native services • APIs • Event-driven architecture • DevSecOps . AWS

Deep expertise in every technology is not expected. We are looking for strong depth in backend and platform engineering, supported by broader capability across AI and modern web technologies.

What you'll do

- Provide Staff-level technical leadership across architecture, engineering and delivery while remaining hands-on

with the codebase.
- Design and build secure, scalable and resilient services using .NET / C#, APIs and modern distributed-system

patterns.
- Lead the design of cloud-native, API-first and event-driven architectures that can evolve as business and customer

needs change.
- Use Python to build and integrate AI-enabled services, automation and supporting platform capabilities.
- Integrate GenAI and LLM capabilities into production applications where they create meaningful customer,

colleague or engineering value.




- Establish clear boundaries between AI capabilities and deterministic enterprise services so solutions remain

reliable, secure and maintainable.
- Contribute to and provide technical direction for modern customer and colleague experiences using Next.js /

TypeScript.
- Drive engineering standards across software design, testing, observability, security, reliability, performance and

DevSecOps.
- Apply AI-assisted software engineering practices across the SDLC, including development, testing, code review,

documentation and engineering automation.
- Identify opportunities to simplify architecture, reduce technical debt and create reusable engineering capabilities.
- Mentor senior engineers, influence technical decisions across teams and raise engineering capability across the

broader organisation.
- Work with product, architecture, security, data and engineering teams to turn ambiguous problems into pragmatic

technical solutions.

What we're looking for

- Robust experience operating at Staff, Principal or equivalent senior engineering level in complex technology

environments.
- Deep hands-on experience with .NET / C# and backend software engineering.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems, APIs, integration patterns and event-driven architecture.
- Experience designing and operating cloud-native,



highly available production systems.

Staff Software Engineer | 1
- Strong knowledge of engineering fundamentals including security, observability, automated testing, resilience,

performance and DevSecOps.
- Practical experience with Python, particularly for automation, data processing, AI-enabled services or integration.
- Experience integrating GenAI, LLM or AI capabilities into production software is highly desirable.
- Understanding of AI engineering concepts such as retrieval, tool integration, evaluation, observability and

guardrails is advantageous; deep AI specialisation is not required.
- Working knowledge of Next.js / TypeScript or comparable modern frontend technologies; deep frontend

specialisation is not required.
- Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools and practices to improve developer productivity, quality or delivery

velocity.
- Demonstrated ability to influence architecture and engineering standards across multiple teams.
- Strong communication and technical leadership skills, with the ability to mentor engineers and communicate

complex technical decisions clearly.
- Experience in banking, financial services or another regulated, high-availability environment would be

advantageous.
