The Job
Guildhawk, in collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University, is seeking to recruit a Senior Software Developer to join our rapidly expanding team. As part of the team, you will work on the design and development of innovative tech offerings that are core to the company’s strategic vision, as well as developing state-of-the-art solutions for our clients.

Clients include Shell International, TikTok, Universal Studios and PWC. Backed by the Innovate UK Scale Up Programme, the company is a highly productive global operation that puts the training of young graduates, creation of skilled jobs and innovation before profit.

Technology is in Guildhawk’s DNA, and, with decades of experience in multilingual big data, Guildhawk has developed and launched a number of ground-breaking innovations powered by AI, machine learning and natural language processing.
