About the role
Build AI into the products that power government!
AI is transforming how organisations interact with information, automate workflows and make decisions. At Objective, we're building the technology that will bring these capabilities to life across our enterprise software products.
We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer with strong Python expertise and hands-on experience building AI-powered applications to join our Objective Intelligence (OI) team.Working on our Corporate AI Services Platform, you'll help design and deliver reusable AI services and intelligent capabilities that can be integrated across Objective's product suite.
This isn't a traditional software engineering role with some exposure to AI. We're looking for an experienced engineer who understands how to take AI capabilities beyond experimentation and turn them into secure, scalable, production-ready software.
What You'll Be Doing
- Build AI-powered applications: Design and develop intelligent features and services that integrate large language models (LLMs) into enterprise software.
- Engineer with Python: Build scalable backend services, APIs and integrations using Python, alongside modern frontend technologies such as Svelte or React.
- Work with modern AI frameworks: Apply technologies such as LangChain, LangGraph, LiteLLM and similar tools to develop AI-enabled applications and workflows.
- Build for production: Develop reliable, secure and maintainable AI services with appropriate testing, monitoring and cloud deployment practices.
- Shape our AI platform: Contribute to the architecture and development of reusable AI capabilities that can be leveraged across multiple Objective products.
- Own technical delivery: Take complex engineering challenges from design and development through to deployment and continuous improvement.
- Influence engineering decisions: Collaborate with product teams, engineers and technical leaders to help establish strong engineering practices for AI-enabled software.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for an experienced software engineer who combines strong engineering fundamentals with practical AI application development experience.
Your experience will include:
- Strong commercial software engineering experience, with advanced Python development skills.
- Hands-on experience integrating LLMs or generative AI capabilities into software applications, ideally in production environments.
- Experience working with AI application frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, LiteLLM or equivalent technologies.
- Strong backend engineering skills, including API development, microservices and database programming.
- Experience developing and deploying cloud-based applications using AWS and/or Azure.
- Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Svelte or similar.
- Strong understanding of software architecture, automated testing, CI/CD and secure development practices.
- The ability to independently solve complex technical problems and contribute to engineering design decisions.
Experience we'd particularly value:
- Building AI agents, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions or LLM-powered workflows.
- Working with model orchestration, AI infrastructure or reusable AI services.
- Improving the performance, reliability and scalability of AI-enabled applications.
- Experience building enterprise SaaS products or shared technology platforms.
Why Join This Team?
You'll be part of a team developing AI capabilities that extend beyond a single application, helping shape how intelligent technologies are adopted across Objective's product ecosystem.
- Meaningful technical ownership: Influence how AI services are designed, developed and integrated into our products.
- Real-world AI engineering: Work on practical AI applications that solve complex enterprise challenges.
- Impact across multiple products: Build capabilities that support teams and customers across our business.
- Purpose-driven technology: Help deliver secure, intelligent software for governments and regulated organisations.
- Room to innovate: Work with emerging technologies while applying strong engineering principles to deliver solutions that are built to last.
If you're an experienced software engineer who enjoys building real-world AI applications and wants to help shape the next generation of GovTech, we'd love to hear from you.
If you do not tick every box, do not let that stop you. We value potential, learning agility, coachability and diverse perspectives just as much as experience, and we encourage you to apply.
