This would be a brilliant fit for someone with proven Object-Oriented expertise, a strong record of building end-to-end technical solutions very much from the ground up for third parties, and a career to date which has seen them tackle everything from requirements gathering through to coding, implementation and ongoing improvements.

This is a growing firm with great projects in the pipeline, happy to offer a range of incentives (including bonuses, remote working, private healthcare, recognition rewards, professional development and ongoing upskilling avenues), and friendly people to work with (ask us, we've placed a number of them ourselves!). Take a look and apply before it's too late:

Deliver against overarching business objectives, including ventures into Artificial Intelligence, additional Cloud based services, and the next big version of their key client-facing platform which you'll be directly responsible for delivering
Ensuring delivery output from your own team via performance reviews/mentoring/etc., as well as liaising with the wider multidisciplinary technical function and other teams to keep everyone up to date and align with business objectives
Ensuring Agile working and best practice is woven into the team, keeping aware of new trends and tech to improve as you go, and running standups and other meets to ensure all are on the same page and working to agreed standardsWhat they're looking for:

Proven track record in Software Development and proven record of working as a Principal Software Engineer / Principal Developer
Strong skills across C# / Python / Java (and willingness to pick up .Net if not worked with directly before)

Dealings across as many of the following as possible: .Net Core/ASP.Net, Azure/AWS, SQL Server/T-SQL, AI, Razor/Blazor
Demonstrable record of building technical solutions end-to-end and from the ground up for third parties
Strong grasp of Agile working, TDD, SOLID principles, and other processes/standardsIf you're looking to join a great firm with major expansion and evolution on the horizon, offering a host of benefits with staff at the centre such as remote working, bonuses and recognition rewards, healthcare, progression and more, apply now with your latest CV and let's have a chat.

Negotiating Your AI Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven itself to be one of the most transformative forces in today’s business world. From smart chatbots in customer service to predictive analytics in finance, AI technologies are reshaping how organisations operate and innovate. As the demand for AI professionals grows, so does the complexity of compensation packages. If you’re a mid‑senior AI professional, you’ve likely seen job offers that include far more than just a base salary—think equity, bonuses, and a range of perks designed to entice you into joining or staying with a company. For many, the focus remains squarely on salary. While that’s understandable—after all, your monthly take‑home pay is what covers day-to-day expenses—limiting your negotiations to salary alone can leave considerable value on the table. From stock options in ambitious startups to sign‑on bonuses that ‘buy you out’ of your current contract, modern AI job offers often include elements that can significantly boost your long-term wealth and job satisfaction. This article aims to shed light on the full scope of AI compensation—specifically focusing on how equity, bonuses, and perks can enhance (or sometimes detract from) the overall value of your package. We’ll delve into how these elements work in practice, what to watch out for, and how to navigate the negotiation process effectively. Our goal is to provide mid‑senior AI professionals with the insights and tools to land a holistic compensation deal that accurately reflects their technical expertise, leadership potential, and strategic importance in this fast-moving field. Whether you’re eyeing a leadership role in machine learning at an established tech giant, or you’re considering a pioneering position at a disruptive AI startup, the knowledge in this guide will help you weigh the merits of base salary alongside the potential riches—and risks—of equity, bonuses, and other benefits. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how to align your compensation with both your immediate lifestyle needs and long-term career aspirations.
