Overview
We’re partnering with a global leader to transform one of its most critical business platforms. This opportunity is for a Tech Lead, Senior Software Engineer, or Software Architect who can lead the modernisation effort—balancing strategic architecture with hands-on delivery.
The focus is on incremental evolution of a legacy product, not refinement, ensuring AI capabilities are embedded both in the product and the software development lifecycle. You’ll shape the platform’s future while staying engaged with implementation.
Ideal for engineers who thrive solving complex technical challenges and building scalable, modern systems.
