Role Overview

• Principal-level engineer responsible for accelerating engineering delivery across a complex platform estate

• Focus on adopting AI-native engineering practices to materially improve development velocity

• Work across a large ecosystem including Microsoft CRM (SaaS), integration layers, portals, and bespoke middle-tier systems

• Identify delivery bottlenecks and implement practical improvements to engineering workflows, tooling, and processes

• Measure current engineering performance and drive measurable improvements in product backlog throughput

Key Responsibilities

• Benchmark current engineering velocity and delivery performance

• Identify areas of engineering toil that slow delivery (e.g. immature DevOps, manual processes, hand-offs)

• Create and prioritise a backlog of engineering improvements

• Implement AI-assisted development practices using tools such as GitHub Copilot

• Drive improvements across the full development lifecycle — coding, testing, integration and deployment

• Improve pre–user story development workflows to accelerate delivery earlier in the process

• Work across a platform ecosystem that includes:

  • Microsoft CRM (SaaS)

  • Integration layer (TIBCO)

  • Multiple customer portals

  • Bespoke middle-layer services

• Demonstrate measurable improvement by benchmarking delivery performance at the end of the engagement

Required Experience

• Strong experience as a Principal or Staff-level .NET Software Engineer

• Experience improving engineering productivity and delivery performance

• Deep experience in modern software development practices and architecture

• Experience working with large, complex enterprise platforms

• Strong understanding of CI/CD, DevOps, and engineering workflow optimisation

• Experience introducing modern developer tooling and automation

Nice to Have

• Experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot)

• Experience modernising engineering practices in large enterprise environments

• Experience working with Microsoft CRM or SaaS platform integrations

• Exposure to integration platforms such as TIBCO
