The opportunity

We’re looking for a hands-on Lead Technical Architect with a strong engineering background to help design, build and evolve cloud-native platforms used by other developers.

This is not a strategy-only architecture role. You’ll work closely with engineers, contribute to codebases, and lead architectural decisions by building and delivering real systems.

If you’re an engineer at heart who’s progressed into architecture - or a technical architect who still codes - this role is likely to suit you well.

What you’ll be doing

  • Designing and building scalable, secure, cloud-native platforms on AWS
  • Working directly alongside engineers, writing and reviewing production code
  • Defining and implementing serverless architectures in large, multi-account AWS environments
  • Using Infrastructure as Code, particularly AWS CDK, to shape platform foundations
  • Designing and evolving authentication and authorisation solutions (OAuth2 / OIDC)
  • Communicating architectural vision clearly to engineers and non-technical stakeholders
  • Building internal tooling and shared platforms, where your primary users are other developers

What we’re looking for

You’ll be a strong fit if you have:

  • A strong engineering background, with hands-on delivery experience
  • Commercial experience with JavaScript / TypeScript and Node.js
  • Deep practical experience with AWS, particularly serverless services
  • Experience designing and operating production systems at scale
  • Knowledge of OAuth2 / OIDC or similar web-based authentication mechanisms
  • Confidence working in collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams
  • The ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly and pragmatically

AWS certification is desirable but not essential.

Ideal background

We’re particularly interested in candidates who have:

  • Progressed from software engineer senior/lead engineer technical architect
  • Built and operated platforms or internal developer tooling
  • Remained close to code rather than moving into purely enterprise or governance roles

This role is not suited to enterprise architects or architecture-only profiles without recent hands-on development experience.

Location & working pattern

  • Manchester is the preferred base location, as most of the team is based there
  • Hybrid working is expected (approx. 2 days per week in the office, with flexibility)
  • Occasional travel to other UK locations may be required for cross-team collaboration

We’re looking for a Senior Applied AI Engineer to design and deliver production-grade AI-powered features within a modern .NET product environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role focused on applying AI in real systems — not training models. You’ll work with commercial AI platforms such as Anthropic Claude, AWS Bedrock, and OpenAI to build reliable, scalable, and observable features that ship to users.

You’ll also play a key role in shaping how AI is adopted across the engineering team — setting standards, introducing tooling, and leading by example through high-quality, AI-assisted development practices.

This role suits someone who has already successfully integrated AI into production products and can bring proven patterns into a growing team.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build AI-powered product features within a C# / .NET ecosystem
  • Integrate commercial AI APIs into production systems with a focus on reliability, scalability, and cost control
  • Establish and promote best practices for applied AI engineering across the codebase
  • Lead by example using AI-assisted development workflows
  • Support and mentor engineers adopting tools such as Claude Code or Cursor
  • Build systems with strong observability, logging, and guardrails
  • Contribute to clean, well-structured, and versioned RESTful APIs
  • Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to deliver user-facing AI capabilities

Must Have

  • 7+ years of commercial software engineering experience
  • 5+ years working with C# / .NET (Core)
  • Proven experience designing and shipping AI integrations in production
  • Strong experience integrating paid AI APIs (e.g. OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock)
  • Demonstrated ability to set patterns and standards adopted by other engineers
  • Hands-on experience introducing AI-assisted development tools into a team
  • Strong REST API design skills (clean, versioned, observable)
  • Solid SQL experience (MariaDB or MySQL)
  • A strong focus on quality, resilience, and maintainability

Nice to Have

  • Experience with AWS (EC2, RDS, Lambda, S3, Bedrock)
  • Practical experience with prompt design, iteration, and evaluation
  • Familiarity with structured outputs, tool use, or function calling
  • Frontend exposure (JavaScript, Vue, Nuxt 3)
  • Experience working in microservices or distributed systems
  • Familiarity with Shape Up methodology
  • Awareness of secure-by-design principles (e.g. ISO 27001)

Not the Right Fit If You

  • Focus on training or fine-tuning models rather than applying them
  • Come from a purely data science or research background
  • Prefer Python-heavy environments and don’t want to work in .NET
  • Are sceptical of AI-assisted development workflows
  • Haven’t worked with commercial AI APIs in production
  • Are looking for a strategy-only or non-hands-on role

Why Join Us

  • Work on real-world AI features used in production
  • Be part of a team where AI is treated as an engineering discipline, not a buzzword
  • Influence how AI is adopted across the organisation
  • Hybrid working (2 days in the office)
  • Dedicated training and development budget
  • Clear opportunities for career progression

If you want to build high-quality, production AI systems and help shape how modern engineering teams apply AI in practice, we’d love to hear from you.
