Senior Software Engineer (javascript, AI and CMS)

Who we are

CreateFuture is fast becoming the UK’s most recognisable digital consultancy, with years of experience building digital products and services for major organisations whilst putting our people first. We have offices in the centre of Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, and London as well as remote employees located throughout the country. 

 

We are a team of creators - whether that’s code, project plans, go to market strategies, culture initiatives, marketing campaigns, large language models or people policies. And together, with our clients, we create the future. This has seen us collaborate and partner across a multitude of industries and sectors, with the likes of PayPal, adidas, Natwest, FanDuel and Money Saving Expert, to name just a few.

 

Our reputation as a partner determined to deliver high-quality, robust and thoughtful products has enabled us to scale to over 500 people in the last couple of years, and it is our amazing people - along with the safe, supportive and friendly culture we have built - that makes CreateFuture a great place to work. Don’t just take our word for it though, we have been recognised by Best Workplaces UK multiple years in a row - across a number of categories - and our employee exit rate is astonishingly low. 

Join us on our journey… Let’s create something awesome, together, today.

Job Description

Role: Senior Software Engineer - Javascript & AI

Department: Engineering 

About the role and team:

 

This is an opportunity to join a team working on the modernisation of web and marketing platforms. The team has recently inherited the CMS and is looking for support to delve deeper into team dynamics, responsibilities and the roadmap, with the core objective of refocussing the CMS team on higher-value marketing work and making the wider CMS operation more scalable and manageable.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll support the Principal Engineer in exploring proof of concepts (POCs), deep diving into agentic opportunities and helping shape how AI can contribute to the future of the platform.

 

What you'll be doing:

• Support the Principal Engineer in exploring technical opportunities across the CMS and wider web and marketing platforms.
• Explore and prototype proof of concepts (POCs), turning promising ideas into practical options for the team.
• Deep dive into agentic opportunities and consider where AI could create meaningful value for the platform and its users.
• Contribute to understanding the current team dynamics, responsibilities and roadmap as the CMS capability is modernised.
• Help identify opportunities to refocus the CMS team on higher-value marketing work while making the wider CMS operation more scalable and manageable.
• Collaborate with the wider team to shape pragmatic technical approaches that support the future direction of the web and marketing platforms.

We'd love to talk to you if:

• Have strong software engineering experience with JavaScript and a passion for building modern web platforms.
• Are comfortable exploring new technologies and working through ambiguity to understand what could work in practice.
• Have an interest in AI and agentic approaches, with the curiosity to investigate where they can add genuine value.
• Can work closely with a Principal Engineer and wider stakeholders to explore ideas, challenge assumptions and shape technical direction.
• Enjoy improving how teams and platforms work, with a focus on scalable, manageable solutions and higher-value outcomes.
