Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Role: Software Engineer

Location: Hybrid, one day a week in Sheffield

Salary: Up to £40-50k

Are you the type of developer who love having your own autonomy and ownership over projects? Are you the type of developer who enjoys working in a collaborative environment with people you can learn from? Are you the type of developer who loves working on cutting edge technology?

If you like working in excitable, fast-moving start-ups where the tech and culture are amazing. There is a clear vison from the business and the career path is open for you.

Then there are roles with companies like the one we are recruiting for. An established, profitable young business who have struck a goldmine of an idea, and already have customers queuing up to sign on the dotted line.

They have developed a data-led product that is going to revolutionise their sector, and the orders are coming in thick and fast from major global players who they’ve worked with for years.

You’ll be joining a new data science team & software development team that is likely to grow further over the next 12 months.

As a Software Engineer you will be joining a dynamic development team to contribute to the evolution of WebApp and Data Platforms. This role is designed for a passionate individual eager to develop innovative features, resolve technical issues, and engage in the continuous improvement of software engineering processes. Your role will encompass the full software development lifecycle, including coding, testing, deploying, and monitoring, with a focus on delivering high-quality software solutions.

Thing you’ll need to bring to the table:

  • 3 years+ of experience in software development
  • Proficiency in at least one: Python, Java, Springboot with a testing framework
  • Strong knowledge of web development technologies (e.g., HTML, CSS, Vue.js, Pinia)
  • Experience with Cloud Platform, preferably Azure
  • Good understanding of software architecture and design principles
  • Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a team
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills
  • Experience with Agile development methodologies

The role would be based mainly from home with travel into Sheffield once a week, so ideally you will drive.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
