At McMillan Shakespeare, we’re modernising systems and redefining how financial services technology delivers value at scale.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives on ownership, architectural influence, and lifting engineering standards. This is for someone already operating at a senior level who wants to shape the future of our platforms, not just maintain them.
You’ll have proven experience designing solutions, writing high-quality production code, troubleshooting complex technical issues and working across the full software development lifecycle. If you’re passionate about modern architecture, AI-driven solutions and improving BAU systems, this is a high-impact opportunity to make your mark.
Here’s how you will make a difference in this role…
- Drive technical quality, scalability and security across applications and integrations
- Lead and uplift engineering standards through mentoring and code reviews
- Partner with Product, Architecture and Business stakeholders to shape solutions
- Champion modern engineering practices including CI/CD, observability and automation
- Contribute to event-driven, cloud-native systems
- Support production environments and lead incidents
We are deliberately targeting experienced engineers. Please only apply if you meet the majority of the below.

- Strong commercial experience developing and maintaining enterprise applications using C# with .NET / .NET Core.
- 5+ years of hands-on experience writing SQL, including complex queries, stored procedures, joins, data manipulation and SQL performance optimisation.
- Strong hands-on experience designing, developing and deploying applications using Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Azure Logic Apps, Azure Service Bus,
- Azure Key Vault and Azure API Management. This is specifically an Azure-focused requirement; AWS Functions/serverless experience alone is not sufficient.
- Practical experience working with Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), ideally including integrating AI/LLM capabilities into software applications and using AI to generate or assist with code in a production environment.
- Experience with Agentic AI, AI agents and intelligent automation, including using AI to automate business processes, workflows, development tasks or other operational activities. Production experience is highly desirable.

- You’re comfortable engaging non-technical stakeholders
What Sets You Apart
- You’ve improved or modernised legacy/BAU systems, not just built new ones
- You bring a continuous improvement mindset and challenge the status quo
- You understand how to balance speed, quality and risk in financial services
