THE ROLE

We're hiring AI Full Stack Software Engineers at multiple levels to join an established, fast-growing software business that's embracing AI at pace across its products. This is a back-end-leaning full stack role (C#/.NET) building and shipping features into real products that businesses genuinely depend on - not greenfield throwaway projects.

Just as importantly, you'll be someone who has already used AI tooling in a product-focused environment. That's central to how this team builds, and it's what will set the strongest applicants apart.

With various levels on offer (£45k-£80k), there's genuine scope here whether you're a solid mid-level engineer or an experienced senior.

ABOUT THE CLIENT

An established, global software business delivering integrated ERP/SaaS solutions to companies across the distributive trades. Their products have been earning their keep for years and are relied on by everyone from small traders to multinational enterprises, with offices across several countries and steady growth behind them.

They're now investing seriously in AI across both their products and their ways of working - so it's a genuinely interesting time to join and help shape what modern, AI-enabled software looks like inside long-lived, business-critical products.
