A look into the role
As a Software Engineer within our CAS practice:
You'll work within a forward deployed engineering team or a delivery pod aligned to one of our service lines, alongside a product manager and under the technical direction of a Lead Engineer. The work spans the full stack of what engineering needs to do around a GenAI platform: solving problems natively, backend plumbing, API integrations, MCP server builds, and data connections.
Working in our GenAI platform doesn't always mean writing code. Often it means applying engineering judgement to solve problems natively, designing the right architecture, the right integration, the right data flow, directly within the platform itself. Knowing which mode the problem calls for is part of the craft here.
You're fluent across AI-native engineering from building natively in the platform, using AI tooling to accelerate your own craft, and taking coalface experiments through to production-grade operationalised solutions.
