Software Developer – Automation, AI and Systems Implementation job at Exeter Full Time

About the role

We’re a small, dynamic team building practical AI and automation solutions that genuinely improve how businesses operate. The company is growing quickly, and this role will sit right at the heart of that growth.

This is a hands-on delivery role. You’ll design and build real systems used by real businesses – writing production-quality code, integrating complex systems, and deploying AI where it adds clear, measurable value.

There’s strong potential for career progression as the business scales, with opportunities to take on more ownership, shape solutions end-to-end, and influence how we build and deliver work.

What you’ll be doing

• Implementing systems that automate and streamline how businesses operate, from initial design through to deployment
• Writing clean, well-structured Python to power automation, backend services, and data workflows
• Designing and building integrations between third-party systems using REST and webhook-based APIs
• Deploying and managing cloud infrastructure on Azure (Functions, Logic Apps, storage, Cosmos DB)
• Building AI-assisted workflows
• Working closely with clients to understand how their processes actually work, and translating that into robust technical solutions
• Improving and maintaining existing automations as requirements evolve
• Documenting solutions clearly so they’re easy to support and scale

What we’re looking for

• Strong Python skills, with real experience building and shipping production-grade code
• Solid experience with APIs, data flows and system integrations
• Working knowledge of Azure
• Familiarity with the Microsoft ecosystem
• A practical mindset focused on outcomes, reliability and maintainability
• Comfortable in a fast-moving environment where priorities can evolve
• Happy taking ownership of your work and contributing ideas, not just following tickets

Nice to have

• Exposure to AI/LLMs, Azure AI Foundry, document intelligence or workflow decisioning
• Experience working directly with clients or stakeholders
• Familiarity with low-code tools alongside custom code

Why join us

• Small, supportive team where your work genuinely matters
• Exposure to a wide range of industries and technical challenges
• Real opportunity for career growth as the business scales
