About the role

We're growing our investment in modern, AI-assisted engineering, and we're looking for an AI Software Developer to own the end-to-end development of our enterprise merchandising application and other core line-of-business systems.

• Design and build internal line-of-business applications, integrations, automations and supporting services, integrating with our existing enterprise platforms, databases, APIs and third-party services.
• Use AI-assisted and agentic development technologies, including large language models such as Claude, to improve development speed, quality and capability.
• Gather and translate business requirements into clear, well-documented technical solutions.
• Manage testing, deployment, monitoring, troubleshooting and production support to keep everything running smoothly.
• Stay ahead of emerging AI and software development technologies and recommend where we should adopt them.
• Work autonomously while keeping our Global Technology Director informed of progress, risks and delivery timelines.

What You'll Bring

• Proven experience as a software developer, with demonstrated ownership of applications across the full development lifecycle (design, build, test, deploy, support).
• Practical experience using AI-assisted and agentic development tools (e.g. Claude, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot or similar) as part of a modern engineering workflow.
• Strong AI/agentic programming skills across relevant languages and frameworks, comfortable working across front-end, back-end and database layers.
• Experience integrating applications with enterprise platforms, databases, APIs and third-party services, plus cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines and modern DevOps practices.
• Working knowledge of information security, data privacy and secure coding principles.
• Self-directed and comfortable working autonomously, with a pragmatic, ownership-driven approach to problem solving and a genuine interest in emerging technology.

Why You'll Love The Role

• The chance to shape how AI-assisted and agentic development is used across Princess Polly's technology function.
• Real autonomy and scope to own systems end-to-end, from architecture through to production support.
• Direct collaboration with key departments across the business, with the chance to see the impact of your work firsthand.
• The chance to build deep, in-demand expertise in AI-assisted and agentic engineering.

Beyond the benefits and perks you already know and love as part of the team, this role is a chance to make a real impact on a fast-growing, global business. It's your opportunity to pursue your passion and shape your own future here at Princess Polly.
