About the Role

As a Senior Full Stack Engineer, you will design and deliver AI-powered solutions that combine intuitive user interfaces, scalable backend systems, and advanced data workflows. Working closely with the Head of AI and a small engineering team, you will help prototype and build new applications that leverage large language models (LLMs) and modern AI-assisted development tools.

This role requires strong capabilities across frontend development, backend services, and data engineering, with a focus on delivering solutions that meet complex business requirements. You will work directly with stakeholders to translate ideas into production-ready systems, designing both the technical architecture and the user experience.

The position involves building modern web applications using React, JavaScript, and Python, developing ETL pipelines, integrating with third-party APIs, and deploying containerised applications using Docker. You will also utilise AI-assisted development tools such as Codex, Claude Code, or similar platforms to accelerate development and experimentation.
The role offers an opportunity to work at the intersection of AI innovation, software engineering, and product development, contributing directly to the organisation's AI initiatives.
