A London based end client is embarking on a major engineering transformation, moving from a fully manual software development lifecycle to a modern, automated, AI assisted SDLC.

They are looking for a hands on Senior Software Engineer to lead this transition and introduce AI augmented development practices across the organisation.

You will be responsible for transforming their current delivery model by:

• Assessing an entirely manual SDLC and designing a modern automated workflow
• Introducing CI/CD, test automation, code quality guardrails, and deployment automation
• Embedding AI tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot, Azure AI) into day to day engineering
• Using AI in solo and pair programming workflows to build and ship production code
• Training and upskilling the internal engineering team on AI powered development
• Establishing best practice, governance, documentation, and ongoing standards

• Strong commercial experience in .NET and React
• Proven ability to build and deploy production ready code
• Hands on experience using Claude or similar AI tools to accelerate delivery
• Track record implementing automated SDLC environments
• CI/CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, etc.)
• Test automation (unit, integration, E2E)
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/Bicep experience beneficial)

• Led development from manual → automated engineering workflows
• Embedded AI tooling into real world development practices
• Strong architecture, delivery, and communication skills
