My client, a clean-tech company, is transforming how the UK manages energy efficiency, with 60,000+ devices already deployed and a fleet that's growing fast. We're looking for a Software Engineer to join their mission of improving carbon efficiency across industry - and the timing couldn't be better, with new government regulations creating massive demand for their solutions.

You'll be joining a close-knit engineering team of 10-11 people, working as an individual contributor on their analytics application that processes 10+ billion records to optimize heat network performance. This is a great role offering significant project ownership and technical autonomy in a fast-growing market.

We're Looking For:

  • 4+ years commercial software development experience

  • Vue.js framework experience (essential - React/Angular background considered but Vue.js strongly preferred)

  • Strong Python backend development skills

  • Database design and schema modeling experience with high-volume datasets

  • JavaScript proficiency

  • Project ownership experience - leading medium-sized projects or major components from concept to release

  • SaaS product development background preferred

    What's on offer:

  • Salary up to £70,000 depending on experience + great benefits including:

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays

  • 5% pension contribution

  • £1500 annual training budget + 12 paid training days

  • Flexibility around hybrid working - typically 2-4 times per month in office. Can the work be done from home? Go for it, although there will be times when you'll be needed on-site for collaboration

  • Private health insurance

  • Quarterly company socials

  • Modern tech stack: Python, AWS, DynamoDB, microservices architecture

  • Exposure to cutting-edge data practices and machine learning concepts

    The Role:

    Working on the analytics platform, you'll be handling large-scale data processing and building features that directly impact heat network efficiency across the UK. With upcoming government regulations expected to drive significant client growth (from 40% to 60%+ uptake), you'll be scaling critical infrastructure that's making a real difference to carbon efficiency

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

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

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
