Software Engineer, Grant Thornton UK

• You're fluent across AI-native engineering from building natively in the platform, using AI tooling to accelerate your own craft, and taking coalface experiments through to production-grade operationalised solutions
• At Senior Engineer level, that fluency is already there and you apply it independently
• At Engineer level, we're looking for the right instincts and active curiosity. Experience is a genuine advantage but the mindset will be key
• At Senior Engineer level you have a track record of owning delivery end-to-end in a team-based model. You've shipped production software and can speak to the decisions you made. You have real depth in backend and integration engineering using Python or C# .Net, and genuine judgement about when to solve natively in the platform and when bespoke engineering is the right call
• At Engineer level you have demonstrable experience building and shipping working software. Solid foundations in at least one backend language, understanding of APIs and version control, and the instinct to take ownership of your work rather than stop at the task boundary
• It would be great if you had some of the following skills, but don’t worry if you don’t tick every box, we’ll help you develop along the way

Desirable

• We're hiring Engineers and Senior Engineers into our team, based in the North of England. You'll be a hands-on individual contributor, enabling our client facing teams, building real solutions that create measurable value, concentrating your engineering effort on solving in our GenAI platform, or building around and outside it when needed
• We’re happy to talk flexible working and consider reduced hours and job shares, we’ll support you to balance your work and life
• You'll work within a forward deployed engineering team or a delivery pod aligned to one of our service lines, alongside a product manager and under the technical direction of a Lead Engineer. The work spans the full stack of what engineering needs to do around a GenAI platform: solving problems natively, backend plumbing, API integrations, MCP server builds, and data connections
• Working in our GenAI platform doesn't always mean writing code. Often it means applying engineering judgement to solve problems natively, designing the right architecture, the right integration, the right data flow, directly within the platform itself. Knowing which mode the problem calls for is part of the craft here
• At Senior Engineer level, you'll own your delivery end-to-end. You translate business need into solutions and technical design, and work individually or as part of the team to solve those in the best way at pace
• At Engineer level, you'll deliver well-crafted, production-grade solutions within the team's technical direction. You own the quality of your output, raise blockers early, and build depth and judgement as your experience grows
