Software Development Lead Engineer AI ML Waters Connect

Overview

 

We are building a small research-focused engineering team to explore new technologies and help shape the future direction of our software platform. As a Senior Application Engineer, you will work across existing applications, proof-of-concept development and integration work, with opportunities to explore areas such as AI and agentic integrations. This role includes front-end and back-end engineering. Angular will be used in the role, but we are open to candidates whose front-end experience comes from other modern frameworks. The role spans both on-premise and cloud-connected software, so cloud experience is beneficial but not essential. 

Responsibilities

Responsibilities 

• Develop and maintain applications using C# and .NET across back-end services and user-facing software. 

• Contribute to a mix of existing application work, technical investigations and proof-of-concept development. 

• Build and enhance front-end applications, with Angular used in the role. 

• Explore AI integration options, including work on MCP clients and servers. 

• Work across multiple repositories and get up to speed quickly in unfamiliar codebases. 

• Collaborate with engineers, architects and product stakeholders to deliver practical, high-quality software. 

• Write clean, maintainable code and automated tests. 

• Support software running in on-premise environments and, where needed, cloud-connected solutions. 

Qualifications

Required Skills

• Minimum 6-8 Years of Software Development Experience. 

 

• Strong experience building applications using C# and .NET. 

• Front-end development skills are required. Experience with Angular is welcome, but we are open to candidates with strong experience in other modern front-end frameworks.  

• Comfortable working across different codebases and learning new technologies quickly. 

• Solid software engineering practices, including testing, code review and maintainable design. 

• Experience contributing to application development in Agile or iterative teams. 

• Strong problem-solving skills and a flexible, hands-on approach. 

 

Desirable (Nice to Have) 

• Experience with AI integrations, developer tooling, or emerging technology exploration. 

• Familiarity with MCP client/server concepts or a willingness to learn quickly. 

• Experience with both on-premise software and cloud-based systems. 

• Exposure to APIs, CI/CD pipelines, containerisation, or modern development tooling.
