Description
Position Overview
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to join our IMCS digital transformation team in Dudley (West Midlands). In this role, you will lead technical efforts across diverse projects for multiple Mitsubishi Electric businesses — driving architectural decisions, setting technical direction, and delivering production level platforms and the systems thereon end-to-end. You'll operate with significant autonomy, owning problems from ambiguous requirements to reliable, running software. This is a role for engineers who take initiative, pull others along with them, and use every tool at their disposal — including generative AI — to ship quality work faster than anyone thought possible.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the design, development, and delivery of full-stack applications, owning technical direction from architecture through production deployment
Drive technical decisions and trade-offs, communicating rationale clearly to both engineering peers and non-technical stakeholders
Leverage generative AI tools (coding assistants, LLM APIs, AI-augmented workflows) to accelerate development, improve code quality, and build AI-powered features into products
Architect and implement cloud-native systems using containerized deployments, infrastructure as code, and modern CI/CD practices
Identify and resolve technical risks and bottlenecks proactively — don't wait to be asked
Collaborate across business units, translating ambiguous business needs into well-scoped technical solutions
Elevate the team through code reviews, technical mentorship, and establishing engineering best practices
Rapidly learn and become productive in unfamiliar codebases, technology stacks, and problem domains
Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues spanning the full stack, from frontend UI to backend services and cloud infrastructure
Requirements
- Education & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, software engineering, or related field preferred (or equivalent practical experience)
- 8+ years of professional software development experience (10+ years preferred)
- Demonstrated experience leading technical efforts — designing systems, making architectural calls, and driving projects to completion without close oversight
- Production experience using generative AI to deliver real work products — not just experimenting, but shipping AI-assisted code, AI-powered features, or AI-augmented workflows that are running in production today
- Track record of increasing scope and ownership over your career
- Technical Skills
- Deep understanding of web application and distributed systems fundamentals (HTTP, REST APIs, authentication, state management, security)
- Proficiency in multiple programming languages (e.g., Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#, Java, or similar)
- Strong experience with modern frontend frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, or equivalent)
- Strong experience with backend frameworks and API development (e.g., Node.js/Express, FastAPI/Django/Flask, ASP.NET, Spring Boot, or similar)
- Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DynamoDB, MongoDB, Cosmos) including data modeling, query optimization, and understanding trade-offs between storage technologies
- Hands-on experience with generative AI tools and APIs (e.g., LLM-assisted coding, prompt engineering, integrating AI services into applications)
- Solid experience with cloud platforms in production (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar)
- Experience designing systems for reliability, scalability, and observability
- Ability to navigate and become effective in codebases and technologies you didn't build, with strong debugging and problem-solving skills across the full stack
- A genuine drive to continuously sharpen your craft and adopt better tools and approaches
