UK technology consultancy delivering complex digital transformations and AI-driven solutions
Softwire is a 200+ person UK-based technology consultancy specializing in modernizing core infrastructure and building next-generation digital products for mid-market and enterprise clients across financial services, insurance, healthcare, and government. The tech stack (C#/.NET/AWS/Azure) and active projects (RAG search, document summarization, GenAI tooling integration) reveal a sharp pivot toward AI-augmented software delivery—hiring is accelerating with a leadership-heavy mix (principal, director, technical lead roles) focused on bridging the gap between AI experimentation and production systems, a tension evident in their stated pain points around 'AI curiosity to production solutions' and 'AI capability to maintainable software.'
Notable leadership hires: Sector Director, Technical Lead
