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.

If this sounds like something worth discussing further, apply or get in touch with us at Rebel Recruiters!

The company are likely to grow further, so if you are an experienced data scientist who would prefer a more senior role, please apply anyway stating your salary expectations.

Please note: All UK-based applicants will be given a guaranteed reply.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

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.
