Drive Technical Excellence: Take ownership of the team's technical direction, leading the design and architecture of scalable, high quality software solutions and championing best practices through code reviews and automated testing. This includes overseeing the plugin registry, MCP server governance, and rollout tooling. Innovate & Evaluate: Continuously assess and recommend new technologies, frameworks, and tools to enhance development efficiency and keep our agentic solutions at the cutting edge. Collaborate & Influence: Partner closely with internal developer teams (your customers), product managers, and Infosec to align technical strategy with business objectives, acting as the key technical voice in the Claude rollout. Communicate with Impact: Clearly articulate complex technical concepts, challenges, and trade offs to both technical and non technical audiences. Champion Improvement: Proactively identify and implement process improvements to boost team productivity and drive a culture of continuous learning and knowledge sharing. Build the Community: Actively contribute to our engineering Community of Practice, specifically the Agentic Development space, sharing your expertise and helping to advance our collective craft across the organisation. You'll be a successful role at OVO if you Project & Team Leadership: Have extensive professional experience in software development, with a proven track record of leading teams and successfully delivering complex projects. Software Architecture & Development: Possess expertise in designing and building scalable architectures using languages like TypeScript. Experience building developer tools or internal platforms is highly desirable. AI Tooling & Ecosystems: Have proven experience or a strong understanding of AI development tools (like Claude Code), Model Context Protocol (MCP), LLM integration, and prompt engineering. Cloud, DevOps & Observability: Show proficiency with cloud platforms (GCP, AWS), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), CI/CD automation, and implementing observability pipelines (e.g., OTEL collectors). System Design & Security: Have strong command of software architecture, data modelling, and implementing robust security controls and governance models for AI tools. Mentorship & Stakeholder Management: Bring exceptional leadership and communication skills with the ability to mentor engineers, manage internal customers, and drive technical consensus. Strategic Thinking & Business Acumen: Are a strategic problem solver with a strong ability to balance technical trade offs with internal developer requirements. Let's talk about what's in it for you: We'll pay you between £80,000 and £100,000, depending on your specific skills and experience. We keep our pay ranges broad on purpose to give us, and you, flexibility to match your experience to our zero carbon mission. You'll be eligible for an on target bonus of 15%. We have one OVO bonus plan that focuses on the collective performance of our people to deliver our Plan Zero goal. We also offer plenty of green benefits and progressive policies to help you feel like you belong at OVO and there's flex pay. We'll give you 9% Flex Pay on top of your salary - 4% of this is auto enrolled into your pension, and the remaining 5% is yours to do what you like with. You can use this to buy from our extensive range of flexible benefits, including our green benefits which we've put at the heart of our offering, add to your pension or even take it as cash. Here's a taster of what's on offer: For your health: With benefits like a healthcare cash plan or private medical insurance, critical illness cover, life assurance, health assessments, and more. For your wellbeing: With gym membership, travel insurance, workplace ISA, will writing services, dental insurance, and more. For your lifestyle: With extra holiday buying, discount dining, home & tech loans, and supporting your favourite charities with give as you earn donations. For your home: Get up to £400 towards any OVO Energy plan, plus great discounts on solar, smart thermostats and EV chargers. For your commute: Nab a great deal on ultra low emission car leasing, plus our cycle to work scheme and public transport season ticket loans. For your Belonging: To find better ways to support our people, we need to listen to each other's experiences and find ways to build a truly inclusive and diverse workplace. As part of this, we have 8 Belonging Networks at OVO. Led by our people, for our people - so when you join OVO, you can play a part - big or small - with any of the Networks. It's up to you.
