The Role
As a Senior Software Engineer in our Engineering Acceleration Team, you won’t be working on a single product. You’ll be working across the organisation empowering our software engineering teams to move faster, building shared tooling that benefits multiple teams, and embedding with squads to accelerate delivery of key projects.
This is a role for someone who genuinely cares about developer experience. You’ll identify where standardisation or automation can reduce friction, champion new technologies, and build the kind of platform infrastructure that makes engineers more effective every day. You’ll also support colleagues across Aerodynamics, Vehicle Dynamics, Performance Systems and Design who write software as part of their engineering roles helping them do it better.
What You’ll Be Doing
Developer Experience
- Understand the needs of our software engineering teams and identify where standardisation or automation can reduce developer friction.
- Advise on best practices across IDEs, build systems, package management, CI/CD, monitoring and observability.
- Implement and maintain standard templates, automations and infrastructure that support the development process at Williams.
- Contribute to platform tooling including CLIs, Claude Code skills and MCP server integrationsto support AI-assisted developer workflows.
- Support engineers across the wider business who write software as part of their core engineering roles.
Shared Tooling & Common Components
- Adopt or create shared libraries and components that benefit multiple software engineering teams.
- Build mechanisms for discovering and consuming shared components across the organisation.
- Stay informed on open-source and third-party toolingknowing when to adopt rather than build.
Technical Excellence
- Build tools to map our software estate, manage tech debt and surface risk.
- Identify areas of our technology estate that would benefit from modernisation and deliver tangible improvements.
- Conduct code reviews and mentor junior developers, raising quality and embedding best practices.
- Embed with engineering teams to accelerate adoption of new technologies or adapt existing solutions.
- Join wider application development squads to accelerate delivery of key projects.
