Software Engineering Manager | £110k – Java, Vue.js & AWS

Are you ready to join an innovative tech house that leverages AI, Machine Learning, and NLP to revolutionize asset management? Imagine being part of a team that serves exciting industries like Formula 1 and you can directly impact the technical roadmap and strategy of a growing organization.

This fast-paced SaaS provider is at the forefront of applying cutting-edge technologies to heavily regulated industries, creating actionable intelligence from industrial data to enhance safety, reliability, and productivity.

As a Software Engineering Manager, you will lead a team of 10-15 engineers, fostering an open and high-performance culture while being client-facing. Your role will involve overseeing team sprints, performance metrics, ensuring continuous improvement, and taking ownership of any safety and security standards such as ISO certifications.

The ideal candidate will have a strong technical background in Java, Python, or any other OOP language. Their tech stack includes Java, Springboot, Microservices, Python, and AWS. Leadership and management experience of at least 1-2 years is essential for this role, and exposure to ISO certifications would be a plus.

In return, you can expect a competitive salary of up to £110k, an onsite role in London, and access to professional development through training programs and a range of perks. The interview process is quick and efficient. While long-term contractors are considered, we are ideally looking for individuals who have been in their roles for at least 2 years+.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
