Amalga is a growing specialist airport operator based in Heathrow. We pride ourselves on challenging traditional ways of working and continually investing in technology, automation and innovation to improve the way we operate. Reporting directly to the MD, the Forward-Deployed Engineer embeds in the business, works out where technology can make the biggest difference, and then designs, builds and ships the systems to deliver it. This is a senior, hands-on engineering role. You will architect and build integrations across the software the business runs on, wire AI into the operation to automate real work, and own what you build in production. Purpose of role: You will work inside the operation rather than at arm's length: close enough to the work to see what is needed, and skilled enough to build it. You will use modern AI development tools (such as Codex or Claude Code) as a force multiplier to design and ship at a pace a traditional team could not, and bring the engineering judgement to recommend what should be automated, what should run as plain, deterministic software, and where AI genuinely belongs in the loop. Key Responsibilities Architect and build integrations: Design and build the connections between the systems the business runs on, including Sage, Joblogic and Microsoft 365, so data moves between them automatically instead of by hand Work directly with each system's data, interfaces and events; model the data properly and build event-driven, well-tested, version-controlled automations AI systems and automation: Wire AI into the operation where it adds real value, orchestrating cost-efficient AI models and agents and combining them with conventional software Apply the judgement to keep AI out of the loop where deterministic code is safer, such as finance and compliance, and in the loop where it earns its place Websites and digital platforms: Improve the Amalga and ASC websites and the ASC member portal, including self-hosting and full control of the stack where that gives the business more capability and reach Build any customer-facing and operational tools the business needs - portals, forms, digital paperwork and tender-submission support Data and reporting: Build reporting and live dashboards on top of the business's own data so managers get an accurate, real-time view of the operation, owning the data layer end to end Qualifications required: Strong, genuinely hands-on software engineer, able to architect and build complete systems (E) Fluent at building system-to-system integrations: interfaces/APIs, authentication, data modelling and event-driven design (E) Deep, practical fluency with AI development tools (such as Codex or Claude Code) and with building on AI models and agents, plus the judgement to know where AI belongs and where it does not (E) Confident across the stack: a modern programming language (Python, TypeScript), databases and SQL, the web, and deployment/self-hosting (E) Able to make sound architecture decisions independently and own systems in production, including security, testing and auditability (E) High agency, finds the right problems inside a business and drives them to a shipped result without being micro-managed (E) Rigorous and trustworthy with financial and personal data (E) Communicates clearly with non-technical colleagues and leadership (E) What we can offer you: Standard Full Time Permanent Contract Hours: Monday-Friday (40 hours per week) Staff discount in various retail outlets Cycle to work scheme Pension scheme Life insurance Personal Development Plan including company sponsored training (subject to training contract) If you feel you meet the above criteria, look no further and apply now and a member of the recruitment team will be in touch.
