Ada Meher is proud to be partnering with a scaling SME (Bristol & London) looking to hire aHead of Software Engineeringto help them drive innovation and growth in their technical team.

Role:

Head of Engineering

Location: Bristol/London bi-weekly (Hybrid Remote)

Salary: £110-130k DOE

Headline Benefits:

  • B Corp
  • Remote Working
  • 30+ Holiday days
  • Flexible Hours

You’ll be leading a team of 7 working on the architecture, delivery, and development of new features for their flagship product, including working with the CTO on strategy and roadmap development. The company is a SaaS that allows brands to manage online communities to grow revenue at scale.

Essential Experience:

  1. Experience growing engineering teams multiple times (ideally through Series A/B/C)
  2. Experience leading a small Engineering team (5-10)
  3. B2B2C SaaS experience
  4. Experience working in SaaS
  5. Knowledge of AWS and Infrastructure / Artificial Intelligence (AI) would be a benefit
  6. Knowledge of security implementation (ISO27001)
  7. Strong experience with JavaScript/Typescript Engineering (MEAN/MERN preferred)
  8. Bonus – high-level achievements outside of work (ie sports/music)

Position:

The current tech stack is MEAN-focused with AI-based components and serverless AWS deployments, so the ideal candidate will have a strong JavaScript/Typescript background with some knowledge or interest in cloud deployments and artificial intelligence. The role will involve a split of both hands-on and hands-off work so applicants should be comfortable with the stack and also leading code reviews, mentoring, and assigning project resources.

As a B-Corp business, our client has a strong focus on social responsibility and the well-being of their employees. Because of this, you can expect over 30 days of holiday a year (plus bank holidays!) as well as a flexible employer that truly cares. An ideal candidate will look for a blend of technical leadership and hands-on work, interested in joining a company as they scale. The company has flexibility at the core of its employee offering, allowing employees to get their work delivered at a time and place that suits them.

Culture:

Whether it be that you need a few hours in the middle of the day for an appointment or to work abroad for a couple of weeks - their flexible approach empowers individuals to work their job around their life, not the other way around. That said, you can expect to meet up with the rest of the tech team once or twice a month in Bristol and the whole business once a quarter in London – so flexibility for some level of travel or locality will be necessary!

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact.

You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
