We are already one of the largest competitors in our space but have ambitions to grow much further, and we are crazy about sustainability. To date we have saved fleets over 3,000,000 tonnes of CO2.

We are seeing our hard work paying off as we have won seven awards, including Best Fleet Software three years in a row, a highly commended wellbeing award, two innovation awards, and one outstanding product of the year award.

Collaborate with our data scientist to refine and optimise automation solutions.
Troubleshoot and resolve performance bottlenecks in a production environment.
Participate in code reviews and architectural discussions to maintain high coding standards.

Requirements:

Relevant experience working as a software developer.
Proficiency in modern C++, with a strong focus on parallelisation and performance optimisation.
Experience with Python, particularly machine learning and data processing libraries.
Understanding of Python optimisation techniques, such as multiprocessing and JIT compilation.

Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to debug complex systems.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

Experience with low-level programming, particularly writing CUDA kernels and using SIMD intrinsics.
Experience with a C++ parallelisation framework, such as OpenMP.
Familiarity with cloud computing (AWS, GCP, Azure) or containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.
