31120 Lead DevSecOps Engineer

We’re working with an excellent tech firm based in London that builds high-performance software used behind the scenes of some of the biggest events in the world, from music festivals and Hollywood award shows to theme parks and stadiums. They’re now looking for a Senior C++ Developer to join their team.

This is a hybrid role (minimum 3 days in their office), working on both internal product development and some external client work. You’ll be part of a small, focused development team building robust applications using C++ and Qt, developing new features, contributing to system design, and helping guide less experienced engineers.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Writing clean, maintainable C++ code for real-world applications

  • Collaborating closely with product and engineering teams to shape features from idea to delivery

  • Taking ownership of technical challenges, including architecture and design

  • Improving and maintaining existing codebases

  • Contributing to code reviews and mentoring junior developers

    What They’re Looking For:

  • At least 3 years’ commercial experience as a C++ software engineer

  • Strong core C++ and C knowledge, with a good grasp of design principles

  • Hands-on experience using the Qt framework

  • Degree in a relevant subject (2:1 or above)

  • Passion for building polished, technically solid products

  • Exposure to working in Linux environments

  • Comfortable working in an agile, fast-moving environment

    This is a great role for someone who wants to work on interesting and meaningful software that powers iconic global events. If you care about well-architected C++ code, enjoy solving engineering problems, and want to grow in a creative, technically excellent team - this one’s worth a look.

Robotics Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK robotics jobs market is in a strange but interesting place. On one hand, UK manufacturers, logistics firms and warehouses must automate to stay competitive, tackle labour shortages and meet productivity and net-zero targets. On the other hand, the UK still lags badly behind peers in robot adoption, with relatively low robot density in factories compared with other advanced economies – which is both a challenge and a massive opportunity. The National Robotarium +1 Add in AI, computer vision and edge computing, and you get a robotics landscape that is: More selective in hiring. More focused on real operational outcomes. More integrated with software, data and safety standards. Whether you are a robotics job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building automation and robotics teams, this guide explores the key robotics hiring trends for 2026.

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.
