Software Engineer – Agentic Orchestration

About the Role

We're a tight-knit, diverse team that believes software innovation is at the heart of creating value with AI, working across the organisation with cutting-edge technologies in a collaborative, supportive culture. We are seeking a backend-focused Software Engineer to work on Agentic Orchestration (AO), which turns a customer's intent into an outcome by reasoning over journey state, policies, and goals to decide and drive the next best action across AI agents, systems, and people.

What You Will Do

• Build the backend services behind an AI-assisted authoring experience that turns natural language into structured, machine-readable plans — the plans that drive an agentic orchestration system's decisioning at runtime

• Integrate large language models to both generate these plans and automatically validate them, handling structured output and non-deterministic behaviour, and enforce schemas that keep each plan complete, consistent, and ready to power orchestration

• Integrate with a range of internal services to discover and surface the building blocks authors assemble into their plans, normalising different data sources into a common model

• Own features end-to-end from design through deployment, working across an agile team and building alignment among multiple stakeholders

Required Skills & Experience

• University degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Data Science, or related field (or equivalent experience), with minimum 3 years of software engineering experience

• Strong backend service development in the team's stack either (Java) or (Python), with strong REST API design and solid understanding of OOP/FP principles, design patterns, data structures, and algorithms

• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs from a backend, including generating structured output and handling retries, malformed responses, and non-determinism

• Experience integrating across multiple services, including auth and pagination, and normalising data pulled from different sources

• RESTful API development, microservices concepts, and hands-on experience with CI/CD tooling and Git version control

• Effective communicator who builds stakeholder alignment and thrives in agile teams with active participation in code reviews

Desirable Skills & Experience

The following would be great additions but are not required:

• Experience with AWS

• MCP (Model Context Protocol): Building servers and exposing tools, as the integration path to other internal services

• Agentic & Orchestration Patterns: Understanding of state, tools, and planning loops

• Evaluation & Validation Mindset: Building eval harnesses or testing non-deterministic systems
