Senior Software Engineer II in City of London

We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to build and scale AI-powered internal tools that materially improve efficiency, quality, and speed across the organization. This role combines deep hands-on engineering with technical leadership, setting a high bar for execution while shaping how AI-first and agentic development practices are applied across teams. As a senior engineer, you will work on complex internal products, guide technical decisions, and help establish patterns and best practices that other engineers can reuse. While this is a strongly hands-on role, you will also act as a mentor and technical multiplier for the team. You will be part of a globally distributed set of engineering teams (U.S., UK, and international) focused on delivering internal tooling and shared platforms. Product leadership and business analysis support are provided, allowing this role to focus on high-quality delivery, technical design, and innovation.

Responsibilities

• Own the design and implementation of complex internal AI-enabled tools and workflows.
• Partner closely with Product Managers, Business Analysts, and Engineering Managers to translate defined problems into scalable technical solutions.
• Lead hands-on development using AI-assisted and agentic tools to accelerate delivery while maintaining code quality and reliability.
• Evaluate, select, and apply appropriate AI development tools and patterns based on use case complexity and risk.
• Perform and lead code reviews, providing constructive feedback and setting engineering standards.
• Collaborate across global teams contributing to shared internal platforms and reusable components.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across the stack and guide others in effective problem resolution.

Qualifications

• Significant professional software development experience with increasing technical responsibility.
• Strong full-stack engineering background with:

• At least one modern client-side framework (Angular preferred, but flexible).
• At least one server-side language (.NET/C# preferred, but flexible).

• How AI tools are integrated into real development workflows.
• Tradeoffs between different agentic tools and approaches.
• When AI accelerates development and when traditional engineering rigor is required.
