At CV-Library, we have a simple vision: to help the world to work and we are looking for exceptional and talented people to help us realise this vision in both UK and overseas markets. We are in a period of focused internal investment, following a year of key strategic acquisitions and significant investment across all parts of the business, from Tech and Data to People and HR, there's never been a more exciting time to join us or a better place to grow your career! The Role Hours: Monday-Friday, 9:00-17:30 Location: Fleet Working Pattern: Hybrid - twice a quarter We are looking for a Principal Software Engineer to provide technical leadership across our application estate. Following our multi-year re-platforming, our backend is now a collection of RESTful microservices managing state for our core data entities - meaning the majority of our business logic and product complexity now lives in our Next.js web client and React Native mobile app. This role carries ongoing influence over how those applications are built and evolve. This role is centred on driving alignment across teams and systems - owning the interface lifecycle (API specifications and event schemas), setting and managing engineering standards, and coordinating implementation approaches across Product, Architecture and Engineering. You will play a key role in shaping how our platform evolves, helping teams deliver independently while maintaining a cohesive and scalable system - carrying architectural vision into day-to-day engineering practice, and building proofs of concept where they de-risk or accelerate delivery. This is a highly collaborative role requiring strong communication, influence and the ability to build consensus across a diverse engineering organisation. Responsibilities: Own and evolve the interface specification lifecycle - REST API specifications and event schemas - including definition, documentation, versioning and governance Provide ongoing technical influence over the implementation of our Next.js web client and React Native mobile app, where the majority of our business logic and application complexity now resides Define, champion and manage engineering standards across the engineering organisation Act as the conduit for architectural vision, translating direction from Architecture into practical, deliverable approaches for engineering teams Maintain broad oversight across domains - web, mobile and backend microservices - identifying opportunities for simplification, reuse and consistency Build proofs of concept to validate approaches, de-risk complex changes and accelerate critical delivery Act as a bridge between web, mobile, backend and platform teams, ensuring alignment in how systems interact Drive clarity in system boundaries, contracts and integration patterns Facilitate cross-team technical discussions, building alignment and resolving ambiguity Identify and manage cross-cutting technical risks and dependencies Champion best practices in API and interface design, focusing on usability, scalability and maintainability Mentor engineers and technical leaders, particularly in systems thinking and across-domain design Ensure high-quality, accessible technical documentation Contribute hands-on to implementation when needed, particularly to unblock teams or de-risk complex changes What we're looking for Strong experience as a senior or lead engineer, with demonstrated impact beyond a single team Strong hands-on capability in modern full-stack web development; significant experience with Next.js and React is strongly preferred Experience across some or all of our core stack - MongoDB, PayloadCMS and React Native - is strongly preferred Deep experience designing, specifying and governing interfaces, including REST API specifications (e.g. OpenAPI) and event schemas, and managing them through their lifecycle Experience with AWS and Kubernetes/container orchestration is nice to have Familiarity with the wider technologies in our estate - Go, Perl, PHP, MySQL and Elasticsearch - is beneficial, supporting the broad domain oversight this role carries Proven ability to work across team boundaries, influencing technical direction and driving alignment Strong understanding of software architecture concepts and system design principles Excellent communication and consensus-building skills, with the ability to bring diverse stakeholders together Ability to navigate ambiguity and provide clarity in complex technical landscapes A systems-thinking mindset, with an interest in how different parts of a platform interact and evolve Experience supporting delivery through collaboration and influence rather than direct ownership Commitment to high standards in documentation, clarity and engineering quality Ability to context-switch between strategic thinking and practical implementation, depending on organisational needs We are actively committed to promoting a fully diverse and inclusive workforce and we welcome applications for this role from all candidates who meet the key requirements.

A growing technology team is changing how software is built and used across a nationwide retail business. AI is already supporting customer enquiries, call transcription, document processing and internal development. The next step is to apply it more widely, while improving the underlying products and processes that support the business. This is a hands-on software engineering role for someone who wants to understand real operational problems, help shape the solution and see it through to production. AI Product Engineer Remote, UK 40,000 to 60,000 You will work remotely, with regular opportunities to spend time at one of the company's stores or vehicle preparation centres. Living within practical travelling distance of a site would therefore be useful. The opportunity The business operates a growing network of used car supermarkets, supported by its own technology covering stock, pricing, sales, customer communications and internal operations. Its engineers use agentic coding tools such as Claude Code as a normal part of software development. These tools are used to build and deliver working products, not simply to autocomplete code. You will work with teams across sales, customer care, finance, logistics and vehicle preparation to understand how work currently gets done. You will then help decide what should be improved, what should be built and whether AI is genuinely the right solution. The immediate focus is likely to include improving how customer leads are managed across telephone, text, website enquiries and the company's existing AI assistant. Other projects could include: Building voice agents for appointment confirmations and follow-up calls Expanding the company's customer-facing AI assistant Using multimodal models to process service histories, photographs and documents Extending an internal MCP server that connects AI tools with company systems Developing internal applications and dashboards Contributing to applications used by employees across the company's stores The approach is pragmatic. Sometimes the answer will be an AI integration. Sometimes it will be improving the workflow, using an existing product or building conventional software properly. How the team works Engineers take ownership of particular business areas and work directly with the people using the software. The team works in short delivery cycles, releases regularly and uses agentic coding tools throughout development. AI may generate a significant proportion of the initial code, but engineers remain responsible for understanding, reviewing and safely releasing it. You will be supported by product colleagues, a Principal Engineer and an experienced wider team, with opportunities for pairing, technical guidance and code review. What you will need You should have: A good grounding in software engineering Experience developing with TypeScript Confident use of an agentic coding tool such as Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot or OpenAI Codex The ability to understand, review and improve AI-generated code The confidence to speak with non-technical colleagues and ask useful questions Experience taking a feature or personal project from an idea through to a working outcome Familiarity with Git and modern development practices Commercial experience building AI-enabled products would be useful, but it is not essential. Relevant personal projects, experimentation and demonstrable use of agentic development tools will also be considered. Experience with any of the following would be helpful: Third-party API integrations AWS Lambda or serverless development Event-driven systems OpenAI, Anthropic or other LLM APIs Prompt engineering, MCP or agent patterns React PHP, Laravel, MySQL or DynamoDB Swift or SwiftUI You are not expected to have worked with everything listed. What this role is not This is not an ML engineering or data science role. You will be integrating existing AI services into business workflows rather than training models. It is also not a ticket-only development position. You will be expected to help understand the problem, shape the solution and take responsibility for what reaches production. The level is flexible. Applications are welcome from capable junior and mid-level engineers who can demonstrate sound engineering fundamentals, strong use of agentic coding tools and the motivation to take ownership. Benefits Salary of 40,000 to 60,000 Remote working across the UK 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays Company pension Support from an experienced technical and product team Genuine involvement in deciding how AI is used across the business Apply now or contact Chris Lynes at Spectrum IT Recruitment for an informal discussion about the role.
