2675 IT & Software Developer jobs in the UK
Requirements
Must:
- Deep hands-on experience with web scraping tools and frameworks (Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer, etc.)
- 5+ years in data engineering, ML engineering, or similar technical roles
- Strong Python skills and comfort working across complex ingestion workflows
- Experience managing NoSQL and vector databases at scale (MongoDB, Weaviate, Pinecone, etc.)
- Solid understanding of modern data pipeline tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster)
- Practical experience with LLM development, embeddings, and RAG architectures
- Familiarity with distributed systems and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Self-motivated and capable of independently delivering production-grade systems
Responsibilities
I will take the lead on building and scaling large-scale web scraping and data ingestion systems that form the core of our AI-driven product suite used by major enterprise clients. From crawling hundreds of dynamic sources to powering downstream LLM features, my work will be the foundation of everything the platform delivers. I will own projects end-to-end - designing data pipelines, integrating with vector databases, and deploying intelligent features using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuned LLMs.
Description
I should apply because I will own the backbone of a production-grade AI stack - with scraping and ingestion at the core. I will work directly with a technical founder on systems already used by enterprise clients and shape AI capabilities from prototype to production with real impact. I will join a profitable, self-funded startup with flexibility on location and working style, and I can expect a competitive salary - they’re ready to pay £100k+ for the right person.
