Principle Engineer

Principal Software Engineer

London

£90,000 – £115,000 bonus

Instead of being one of hundreds of engineers in a bank or FAANG, you’ll be the hands-on technical authority, shaping standards, pipelines, and engineering direction for the firm.

Here you’ll have visible impact, with scope to explore GenAI/LLMs in production—no legacy lock-in, no 80-hour fintech weeks or start-up chaos.

You’ll gain career-defining exposure inside a global law firm, earning regulated sector credibility and a rare mix of engineering, governance, and AI adoption experience.

What you’ll do
  • Design, build and maintain secure Azure/.NET applications and integrations.
  • Lead and govern CI/CD pipelines, Terraform IaC, and Kubernetes deployments.
  • Own disaster recovery and resilience, ensuring tested failover and compliance.
  • Act as SME/escalation point, solving complex challenges and mentoring engineers.
  • Drive adoption of emerging tech (e.g. GenAI/LLMs) to enhance legal services.
What you’ll need
  • Hands-on coding and delivery of production-grade C#/.NET Core services.
  • Strong Azure cloud engineering (Functions, Service Bus, Cosmos DB, App Services, APIM).
  • Proven use of Terraform IaC for provisioning and managing cloud infra.
About the Firm

A leading international law firm at the forefront of digital transformation. With a strong UK heritage and offices across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, it is investing heavily in cloud, AI, and modern engineering to support its lawyers and clients. You’ll work on high-impact projects in a professional yet collaborative culture, where tech is seen as a business enabler, not just back-office IT.
