Our Software Engineering Recruitment Specialisms
Backend engineers play a critical role in building reliable, scalable systems. Across the UK, these professionals work with languages and frameworks such as Java, C#, .NET, Python, Node.js, and Go, designing APIs, microservices, and data integrations. Experience with performance optimisation, security, and cloud-native architectures is highly valued, particularly in sectors like financial services, public sector, and enterprise technology.
Frontend developers focus on creating intuitive, responsive user experiences. UK-based roles commonly require expertise in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular, Vue.js, and modern CSS frameworks. Engineers in this space often collaborate closely with UX/UI designers and product teams to deliver accessible, high-performing digital interfaces across web and mobile platforms.
Full stack engineers combine frontend and backend expertise, enabling them to deliver end-to-end solutions. These professionals are highly sought after by product-led organisations and agile teams, particularly where flexibility and rapid delivery are essential. Experience across cloud platforms, APIs, databases, and modern frameworks is a key differentiator.
DevOps and cloud engineers help organisations improve deployment, scalability, and reliability. In the UK market, these roles often involve AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, alongside CI/CD pipelines, containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code. Demand is particularly strong in organisations undergoing digital transformation or migrating from legacy infrastructure.
Mobile engineers specialising in iOS, Android, and cross-platform development play a vital role in customer-facing applications. We also recruit software engineers working with emerging technologies such as IoT, blockchain, and AI-enabled systems, supporting innovation across digital-first businesses.
Engineering managers, tech leads, and Heads of Engineering are essential for aligning technical delivery with business strategy. These leaders bring experience in team management, architecture oversight, and stakeholder engagement, helping organisations scale engineering capability while maintaining quality and performance.
