You’ll probably be the kind of Engineer who loves rolling up their sleeves, and still getting stuck into coding. You’ll probably like the sound of having no legacy tech to worry about – and you’re probably looking for the chance to actually influence decisions.Well, this is the role for you.You’d be joining a team who’ve built their data infrastructure from scratch over the last few years. Even better, they’re having no issues and things are going well – but they don’t want to stand still.But as they’re continuing to grow, they’re looking to take it to the next level and make their infrastructure more mature – so you’ll come in to help with reliability and stability.They already have plans to form a Central Data Hub (which you’ll play a big part in) – and establishing a larger data mesh.Your focus will be on all things data processing within Databricks, ingestion pipelines, and DataOps/DevOps.Tech wise, you’d surround yourself with PySpark/Python, Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform and IaaC. Of course, you’ll ideally have exposure with most of it.As it stands, their Data team is only small – just one other Data Engineer at the mo. So you’ll get the chance to put your own stamp on things, and take ownership of your own work.Salary wise, they’ll pay anywhere from £70,000-£82,000 DOE. It’s majority remote – heading into Oxford once every couple of months or so.They can interview this side of Christmas too. Get in touch with Jack Leeming @ Optima Dev for a chat.You need to be UK-based, and they can't offer sponsorship.

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. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. 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.

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.
