City Of Westminster, London
Lead Software Engineer WCC624412 Salary range: £83,448 - £98,472 per annum. Salary negotiable depending upon experience. Work location: Westminster City Hall,64 Victoria Street, Westminster, SW1E 6QP Hours per week: 36 Contract type: Temporary up to 18 months Vetting requirements: Basic DBS Check Closing date: 13 July 2026 About Us: THE EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF 809 CONNECTED BUSINESSES Digital and Innovation in Westminster City Council is a world of extraordinary stories, where creative and enterprising people put local residents and businesses first. Today, Westminster is the most connected borough in London. But, when David joined us in the mid-2010s, small businesses were still struggling to get connected to fibre. Without gigabit-capable broadband, some companies even resorted to biking memory sticks around the city, simply to share files with clients. Although still in a junior role, David took the initiative and successfully made the business case for £2.8 million of European funding to support connectivity for small businesses across Westminster. Feedback from businesses has been overwhelmingly positive as the project has enhanced their communications with clients. The new connectivity allows them to make video calls and work remotely. As the pandemic hit and many more people needed to work from home, it became clear just how vital this investment had been. Fast-forward a few years. Westminster is leading the way for connectivity, as a result of the project businesses are thriving, and David is heading up a service of his own responsible for delivery of the Smart City strategy. The Role: As a Lead Software Engineer, you can make your own powerful contribution to people across Westminster. Joining the council's newly established AI Innovation Hub, you'll act as the senior technical authority for AI agents - owning the most complex agent builds, setting the patterns the rest of the organisation follows, and running the Agent Ops operating model that keeps the council's agent estate safe. Your day-to-day will be varied and dynamic, including everything from designing resident-facing assistants and internal staff productivity agents, to responding to incidents and ensuring governance processes are followed. Acting as a mentor to less technical agent builders, you'll raise the technical floor across the organisation, building community, sharing knowledge and supporting council teams to harness AI to deliver better outcomes for residents. An established professional with demonstrable experience designing and delivering AI agents or AI-enabled automation in a production setting, you'll bring hands on experience of Microsoft Copilot Studio and the Power Platform. You may have worked in a complex or regulated organisation in the past, and will be confident monitoring and evaluating AI agents, controlling cost, responding to incidents and applying an AgentOps style lifecycle. You'll also have a strong understanding of the following: Agentic patterns. Prompt design, scripting and programming for integration and automation. AI safety, Responsible AI, prompt injection defences, data governance and privacy. APIs, JSON/XML, OAuth, Microsoft Graph, custom connectors, and Dataverse data modelling. As a leader, you'll be motivating and supportive, setting a high bar that inspires others to learn, grow and develop their own skillsets. On a personal level, you'll have the ability to communicate technical concepts to non technical audiences, strong problem solving and analytical skills and a commitment to user centred design and inclusive service delivery. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an innovative, supportive team, and to supercharge your career in the process. Westminster City Council is committed to supporting Care Leavers into the workplace. Care Leavers seeking their first job and who wish to be considered under our scheme, will automatically be invited to interview should they meet the essential criteria for the role.

We are home to more than 200,000 residents from all backgrounds, over 50,000 vibrant and vital businesses and three quarters of a million people work in Westminster.
