- Cloud-native architecture and design skills
- Strong AI tooling experience
- A genuine delivery mindset - able to ship software as well as design solutions
- Experience working within a Product or PaaS environment

This Senior Software Engineer position offers:

- £90,000 - £95,000 starting salary (depending on experience)
- Bonus scheme
- Short working week with flexible working hours
- Hybrid working (three days per week in the office)
- Excellent progression opportunities
