The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an established and successful UK business embarking on an ambitious programme of AI, automation and technology transformation.

This is a unique opportunity for a technically minded professional who enjoys working at the intersection of software development, Artificial Intelligence, business systems and commercial improvement.

This is not a conventional software development role, nor is it an IT support position.

You'll work closely with senior leadership and the company's lead systems architect to understand how the business operates, identify opportunities for improvement and develop technology solutions that deliver genuine business value.

Initially, you'll focus on understanding and enhancing the company's existing systems. Over time, you'll play an increasingly important role in developing new technology, automation and AI solutions across areas including operations, finance, marketing, customer service and business administration.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and enhance internal business systems and applications.
Design and build AI-powered solutions to improve productivity and efficiency.
Identify opportunities to automate repetitive processes using AI and modern technologies.
Work alongside the lead systems architect to understand, maintain and develop existing platforms.
Design and develop new functionality using appropriate technologies.
Work directly with business users to understand requirements and translate them into effective technical solutions.
Analyse business processes and recommend improvements.
Identify opportunities to use AI and automation to solve real-world business problems.
Utilise AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude effectively throughout your development and problem-solving work.
Produce clear technical documentation, technical designs and business recommendations.
Communicate technical concepts and solutions effectively to non-technical stakeholders.
Take ownership of projects and work independently where required.

About You

We're more interested in how you think and solve problems than the number of technologies on your CV.

We're looking for someone who has a strong technical foundation combined with curiosity about how businesses operate.

You'll ideally have:

Commercial software development experience.
A strong interest in Artificial Intelligence and its practical application.
Experience working with databases and business systems.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
The ability to understand complex business processes and identify opportunities for improvement.
Excellent communication skills and the confidence to work with senior stakeholders and business users.
A proactive approach and the ability to work independently.
A willingness to challenge existing processes and suggest better ways of working.
The ability to learn new technologies quickly.
A genuine interest in using technology to solve commercial problems.

Experience with some of the following would be beneficial:

You don't need to be an expert in all of these. We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate strong technical fundamentals, commercial awareness and a genuine enthusiasm for AI.

What You'll Achieve

During your first year, you'll have the opportunity to:

Develop a detailed understanding of the company's technology and business processes.
Become a trusted technology partner across the organisation.
Deliver practical AI and automation solutions that improve productivity.
Develop new functionality within the company's core business systems.
Reduce reliance on external software development.
Identify and implement new opportunities for automation and AI.
Help shape the company's longer-term technology and AI strategy.

Why Join?

This is a genuinely unusual opportunity to have a direct impact on the technology direction of an established and successful business.

You'll work closely with senior leadership and have the freedom to explore new technologies, challenge existing processes and develop solutions that can transform the way the organisation operates.

If you're a software developer, business systems specialist or technically minded professional who is passionate about AI, automation and solving real business problems, this could be an excellent opportunity to take your career in a new direction.
