    IT Talent is representing a fast-growing, Berkshire-based tech-led business known for delivering high-impact digital and AV solutions across a range of sectors. They combine creative thinking with smart engineering and have carved out a strong niche at the intersection of physical tech, user experience, and modern software development.

    The business is now looking for a Mid-level Full Stack Developer with a DevOps mindset.

    You’ll be working on a variety of greenfield projects, shaping scalable, production-grade apps from the ground up. Whether it’s collaborating with designers, squashing bugs, or fine-tuning the dev toolkit. Your contribution will be central to a team that blends creativity with sharp technical execution. You’ll join a small, high-trust team led by a hands-on Tech Director who knows what good looks like. With plenty of room to grow and a clear path into leadership, this isn’t just another dev job - it’s a genuine launchpad for the next step in your career.

    The role is predominantly onsite, 4 to 5 days a week, at their smart and collaborative Berkshire office (near Reading), with flexibility for some hybrid working further down the line.

    What you’ll do
    You’ll build modern, scalable software using Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript and React.
    You’ll own your work end-to-end – from design and architecture to release and maintenance.
    You’ll write clean, testable code and contribute ideas to improve the way things are done.
    You’ll collaborate daily with designers, product folk and other devs.
    You’ll help drive quality and performance across every part of the stack.
    You’ll also play a key part in shaping future products – this team loves fresh thinking.

    What you’ll need
    You know your way around Node.js, TypeScript and React (Next.js experience is a bonus).
    You’ve worked with both relational (PostgreSQL) and NoSQL databases (like DynamoDB).
    You’re confident working with RESTful APIs and microservices.
    You’re logical, analytical, and a bit of a bug-squashing wizard.
    You’re a good communicator – no lone wolves here.

    Nice to have
    Experience with AWS
    Familiarity with Agile/Kanban environments

    Next.js

    AWS DevOps mindset
    A genuine interest in building clean, maintainable systems

    What you’ll get
    A tech-forward culture with loads of greenfield work
    Clear route to step up into a leadership role
    Work closely with decision-makers – no layers of red tape
    A team that backs each other and gets stuff done

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for UAV Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) sector has established itself as one of Europe's most dynamic and strategically important technology markets, with roles spanning from junior drone operators to principal UAV engineers and heads of autonomous systems development. With UAV positions commanding salaries from £28,000 for graduate drone pilots to £85,000+ for senior UAV systems engineers, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this revolutionary and rapidly expanding field. Unlike traditional aviation roles, UAV hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by seasonal operations, government regulatory frameworks, and autonomous systems development timelines. The sector's unique combination of aeronautical engineering, autonomous control systems, and data analytics creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in building tomorrow's unmanned aviation and autonomous aerial systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for UAV job applications in the UK, examining how national drone strategies, seasonal operational cycles, and UAV technology initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering autonomous systems team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of unmanned aircraft and aerial intelligence systems.

Pre-Employment Checks for UAV Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) industry represents one of the most rapidly expanding and strategically significant sectors in modern aerospace, with UAV professionals playing crucial roles in developing autonomous flight systems, advancing drone technologies, and transforming applications from defence and surveillance to commercial delivery and agricultural monitoring. As UAVs transition from military applications to widespread civilian and commercial use, pre-employment screening processes have become increasingly sophisticated and regulatory-focused. UAV careers span diverse environments from defence contractors and aerospace manufacturers to commercial drone service providers, agricultural technology companies, and emerging urban air mobility developers. Each sector brings unique screening requirements reflecting the safety-critical nature of aviation systems, the regulatory complexity of airspace management, and the critical importance of maintaining both operational safety and security standards. Understanding UAV pre-employment screening helps professionals navigate career opportunities effectively whilst enabling employers to identify candidates capable of contributing to UAV innovation whilst maintaining appropriate aviation safety standards, regulatory compliance, and security awareness. The screening processes examine not only technical UAV competencies but also aviation safety knowledge, regulatory understanding, and ability to work effectively within the highly regulated aerospace ecosystem. This comprehensive guide examines the full spectrum of pre-employment screening practices across UAV careers, from basic right-to-work verification through enhanced security clearance processes, technical competency assessment, and industry-specific requirements. Whether pursuing opportunities in UAV design, autonomous systems development, remote piloting, or UAV operations management, understanding these screening processes enables UAV professionals to prepare effectively and advance their careers successfully. The UAV sector's unique combination of aerospace engineering, autonomous systems technology, and operational safety creates screening requirements that reflect both the technical demands of unmanned flight systems and the regulatory considerations of aviation safety and airspace integration. These processes ultimately support the continued advancement of UAVs by ensuring high professional standards and technical competence necessary for safe UAV operations and responsible drone technology development.
