Pay up to £92,522, plus 28.97% employer pension contributions, hybrid working, flexible hours, and great work life balance.

As a Lead Software Engineer, you'll join our Engineering community, providing technical leadership across multiple agile teams delivering critical public services. You'll sit at the intersection of deep technical expertise and strategic leadership, helping define engineering direction while remaining close to the realities of delivery.

What skills, knowledge and experience will you need? Experience leading and influencing multiple engineering teams, setting direction and supporting engineers to do their best work Ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to non technical stakeholders, including senior leaders, and influence decisions at that level Strong, hands on knowledge of modern open source technologies, such as Java, JavaScript and Node.js Deep experience building and running systems in cloud environments (AWS or Azure), including APIs, RESTful services and microservice architectures Strong practical experience using Test Driven Development (TDD) to build reliable, maintainable software Experience working with SQL and NoSQL databases, such as Postgres, MySQL or MongoDB You and your role As our Lead Software Engineer, you'll provide technical leadership across a portfolio of teams and products, shaping how we design, build, test and run software across DWP Digital.

You'll be working on either: Working Age Services Digital -supporting some of the UK government's most high profile citizen facing services, including Universal Credit and the green field Jobs and Careers Service. Or Digital Payments Services - responsible for payment platforms that support 22 million citizens and handle roughly a third of the UK's BACS traffic. You'll guide teams through complex technical decisions, promote modern engineering practices, and help embed consistent standards across the wider engineering community. While this is a senior leadership role, it remains grounded in real delivery - you'll understand the systems, the trade offs and the day to day challenges facing engineering teams. This role will suit someone who enjoys complexity, cares deeply about quality and engineering excellence, and is motivated by purposeful work. Your decisions will shape how critical public services are delivered, ensuring they remain reliable, scalable and trusted by the people who depend on them. Details. Wages. Perks.

Each operating company benefits from the Transform centralised model, driving efficiencies, automation, and economies of scale. Purpose of the role We are hiring a AI Engineering Product Manager for our Multi-Tech Agentic Engineering team to lead the technical direction, engineering discipline and delivery velocity of IAG's next generation of agentic AI products. This is a hands-on senior technical leadership role. You must have real experience leading teams that build production-grade AI agents, not just theoretical experiments or hackathon projects. You will be the technical authority across agent frameworks, orchestration patterns, memory design and guardrails. You will report to the Group Head of Technology and work within the product oversight of the Group Head of Cognitive Automation. You will shape how we build, scale and operate a multi-vendor agent ecosystem across OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft Azure, LangGraph, AutoGen and other emerging frameworks. You will also lead in a matrix environment, working across multiple airlines, central teams, external partners and offshore/nearshore engineering units. You must be comfortable directing both internal engineering teams and partner-led delivery teams, maintaining consistent quality and velocity across all.

Maintain a sharp external radar on AI evolution and benchmark vendor capabilities, reliability and cost. Product and Delivery Impact Work with product leads to ensure technical designs deliver genuine, measurable EBIT impact. Identify quick-start approaches that left-shift value during discovery. Build a developer experience that encourages rapid adoption of AI components across the Group. Stakeholder Influence Build strong relationships across all airlines and influence at CDIO-1 level. Represent the AI engineering strategy to the Group CTO, CDAO, CISO and cloud/data platform leaders. Support Group-wide AI upskilling through contributions to the AI Academy curriculum. Your skills, experience and qualifications Qualifications, Experience and Qualities 15+ years of engineering leadership with proven experience delivering complex software systems at scale. Direct experience architecting and delivering production AI agents with measurable business impact. Deep technical command of the OpenAI ecosystem, including model orchestration, tool calling, evaluation and runtime optimisation. Strong experience with Anthropic, Azure OpenAI and at least one other agent framework such as LangGraph or AutoGen. Proven ability to lead both internal engineering teams and external partner teams to consistent, high-quality outcomes. Strong track record operating in a matrix environment, influencing without direct authority and aligning diverse stakeholders. Demonstrated ability to integrate LLM-based agents with enterprise systems, APIs, RPA, orchestration platforms and internal tools. Strong grounding in DevSecOps, cloud-native architecture, observability and CI/CD. Ability to translate complex technical considerations into simple, concise narratives for senior executives. Evidence of succeeding in fast-paced, ambiguous, high-stakes environments. Ability to travel internally (within Europe) on a weekly basis, where required, to work with the team and stakeholders. Nice-to-haves Airline or travel industry experience. Experience building reusable platform components adopted across multiple business units. Experience with model hosting, fine-tuning, distillation or model evaluation frameworks. Experience with globally distributed teams and multi-vendor delivery ecosystems. You are likely a great fit if you Thrive at the intersection of architecture, engineering craft and delivery. Cut through fog quickly and favour practical, high-value solutions. Stay ahead of AI evolution and separate hype from substance instantly. Inspire and challenge senior engineers while maintaining strong engineering discipline. Communicate with clarity, confidence and zero waffle. What we offer The chance to enjoy a challenging career in an exciting, fast-moving environment in a dynamic industry. The opportunity to work in a multi-cultural environment with great offices in many locations.
