Job Title: Senior Software Engineer (AI-Native Development)

Business Unit: Create Future

About Us: The Future is AI-Native

At Create Future, we believe the next frontier of innovation lies in seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence into the very fabric of our products and processes. We are on an ambitious mission to become a truly AI-native business, revolutionising how software is conceived, built, and delivered. This isn't just about using new tools; it's about fundamentally transforming our culture and up-skilling our teams. We're looking for a pioneering engineer to help us build this future.

The Role: Build the Future of AI-Powered Software

As a Senior AI Enablement Engineer, you will be a key technical leader and practitioner in our evolution. You are a passionate engineer who is convinced that AI will redefine the craft of software engineering. Your core mission is to champion and implement AI-assisted development practices within our teams, acting as a hands-on mentor and a catalyst for innovation through your technical expertise and enthusiasm.

You will be at the forefront of adopting and mastering cutting-edge AI tools and platforms, ensuring our engineers are not just using them, but are excelling with them. This role requires a blend of hands-on coding excellence, technical leadership, and a product-focused mindset to drive meaningful improvements in how we build.

Key Responsibilities:

• Pioneer Advanced Engineering Practices: As a senior technical contributor, you will actively shape and refine our engineering discipline for the AI age. You will challenge current practices, introducing new workflows and development patterns that are faster, more creative, and uniquely suited to AI-powered development.
• Teach, Coach & Mentor: Serve as a go-to expert on AI development tools like GitHub Copilot, Claude, Google Gemini, and Cursor. You will lead by example through pairing sessions, insightful code reviews, and hands-on guidance, helping to elevate the skills of the entire engineering team.
• Lead by Example: Remain at the cutting edge by being an active, hands-on developer. You will embed within teams to model best practices, solve complex technical problems using AI tools, and demonstrate the art of the possible, inspiring others through your exceptional engineering skill.
• Champion AI-Powered Development: Drive the adoption of AI-first methodologies with a pragmatic and persistent approach. You will work with your peers, tech leads, and product managers to foster a culture of curiosity and innovation.
• Translate Technical Gains to Product Value: Develop a keen understanding of how new AI-powered methodologies impact our products. You will be responsible for articulating the value of these new approaches—from productivity gains to enhanced capabilities—to product and engineering stakeholders.

Who We're Looking For:

• A Technical Leader and Mentor: You are a hands-on coder who also excels at guiding and influencing your peers. You know when to build, when to teach, and how to elevate the engineers around you.
• An AI Tool Expert: You have deep, practical experience with multiple generative AI and AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Co-pilot, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, etc.). You don't just know the features; you know how to wield them for maximum impact in a professional development environment.
• A Workflow Innovator: You don't just adopt new tools; you rethink the entire development lifecycle. You are comfortable challenging established norms to introduce new ways of working that unlock greater potential.
• A Passionate Technologist: You are fully bought into the paradigm shift that AI represents for software delivery. Your enthusiasm is infectious, and you are relentless in your pursuit of technical excellence.
• An Effective Communicator: You possess strong communication skills, capable of discussing complex technical concepts with engineers, collaborating effectively with product managers, and demonstrating the value of your work.
• Product-Minded: You connect technical improvements to business outcomes. You understand user needs and can translate the benefits of new technology for a non-technical audience.

Why Join Create Future?

• Lead the Change: This isn't a role where you'll just follow trends; you'll be setting the standard for our AI-native future.
• High-Impact Work: Your efforts will directly accelerate our development lifecycle, enhance our products, and shape the skills of our entire engineering team.
• Autonomy and Support: We will provide you with the autonomy to innovate, backed by a leadership team that is fully invested in the AI mission.
• Shape the Future: Be at the absolute forefront of the most significant shift in software development in a generation.

If you are a pragmatic, curious, and skilled engineer ready to build the future of software development, we want to hear from you.
