<h4 data-start="150" data-end="205">Flip the Script: Tell Them About Themselves</h4>
This isn&rsquo;t about repeating what the company already knows. It&rsquo;s about using smart, targeted research to shape powerful answers - and show the interviewer exactly why&nbsp;you belong in their team.
Before you walk into the room (or log on to Zoom), make sure you know:
<ul data-start="472" data-end="790">
<li data-start="472" data-end="535">
What the company does (yes, it&rsquo;s basic - but don&rsquo;t skip it)
</li>
<li data-start="536" data-end="584">
Who their customers are, or who they serve
</li>
<li data-start="585" data-end="642">
What challenges or pain points they might be facing
</li>
<li data-start="643" data-end="680">
What their goals and values are
</li>
<li data-start="681" data-end="738">
What they&rsquo;re working on now - and where they&rsquo;re going
</li>
<li data-start="739" data-end="790">
What their plans are for the next 6&ndash;12 months
</li>
</ul>
Armed with this intel, you won&rsquo;t just answer questions - you&rsquo;ll connect the dots between their needs and your experience. You&rsquo;ll show how your background, skills, and mindset align with their mission, culture, and objectives.
Wondering where to find all this? Don&rsquo;t worry - we&rsquo;ve got your back.
At Ocho, your dedicated recruiter is already plugged in. We know the hiring manager, we understand the team, and we can give you insider insight you won&rsquo;t find on Google. So ask us! Use us!
And here&rsquo;s the real game-changer: Don&rsquo;t just show that you understand their challenges - show how you can&nbsp;solve them. Come prepared with examples of times you&rsquo;ve tackled similar problems, improved a process, or delivered real results.
<hr data-start="1512" data-end="1515">
This is how you go from &ldquo;a great candidate&rdquo; to the right hire. And we&rsquo;ll make sure you get there, every step of the way.

<h4 data-start="120" data-end="180">Your Experience Got You Here - Now Let It Work for You</h4>
You didn&rsquo;t come this far just to talk about the next role. You&rsquo;re here because of everything you&rsquo;ve already done - and interviewers want to hear about it.
This is your chance to show how your journey so far makes you the right person for their team.
Talk about your recent achievements. Share the moments you&rsquo;re proud of. Highlight the skills you&rsquo;ve built - and more importantly, how you&rsquo;ve&nbsp;used them to solve problems, drive results, or make a difference.
Whether it's leading a project, improving a process, mentoring a colleague, or adapting to change - that&rsquo;s what sets you apart.
So don&rsquo;t just list responsibilities. Show your impact.
<hr data-start="829" data-end="832">
Own your story. Speak to your value. And let your experience do the heavy lifting. We&rsquo;ll help you frame it in a way that makes interviewers sit up and take notice.

<h4 data-start="140" data-end="178">What&rsquo;s Your Greatest Weakness?</h4>
Ah, the question that makes even the most confident candidates squirm. But here&rsquo;s the truth: it&rsquo;s not a trick - it&rsquo;s a test of self-awareness.
Interviewers aren&rsquo;t expecting perfection. What they do want to see is how honest, reflective, and proactive you are when it comes to your own development.
So no, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m a perfectionist&rdquo; won&rsquo;t cut it - it&rsquo;s been said too many times to mean anything.
Instead, choose a genuine weakness that won&rsquo;t impact your ability to succeed in the role. Maybe it&rsquo;s a technical skill outside the scope of the job - but one you're actively working on through courses or projects. Or perhaps it&rsquo;s something more personal, like finding it hard to switch off after work - and you&rsquo;re learning to set better boundaries by using tools that block notifications out of hours.
Whatever you share, the key is to own it. Show that you&rsquo;ve identified the challenge, and more importantly, that you&rsquo;re doing something about it.
<hr data-start="1118" data-end="1121">
We all have weaknesses - what matters is how we face them. So be real. Be reflective. And show that you&rsquo;re committed to growth.

<h3 data-start="147" data-end="197">Your Turn &ndash; Make It a Two-Way Conversation</h3>
An interview isn&rsquo;t just a test - it&rsquo;s a two-way street. Yes, they&rsquo;re assessing your fit for the role, but this is also your opportunity to figure out if the company is right for you.
Asking smart, thoughtful questions shows genuine interest - and gives you another moment to shine. It signals that you&rsquo;re thinking seriously about the opportunity, the culture, and how you&rsquo;ll contribute.
Here are a few questions worth having in your back pocket:
<ul data-start="650" data-end="834">
<li data-start="650" data-end="703">
What does a typical day look like in this team?
</li>
<li data-start="704" data-end="767">
What made you join this company - and what&rsquo;s kept you here?
</li>
<li data-start="768" data-end="834">
Are there any concerns about my experience that I can address?
</li>
</ul>
That last one? Gold. It shows confidence, self-awareness, and a willingness to grow.
<hr data-start="922" data-end="925">
<h3 data-start="927" data-end="971">Be Human. That&rsquo;s Who They&rsquo;re Hiring.</h3>
Beyond the CV, beyond the prep, beyond the polished answers - you&rsquo;re a person. Don&rsquo;t lose that in the process.
Let your personality come through. Share the things that light you up outside of work - whether that&rsquo;s travel, sport, gaming, volunteering, or your latest side project. These details create connection and make you memorable.
The secret? Balance. You&rsquo;re not interviewing as a robot - but you&rsquo;re also not just having a chat with a mate. Blend the professional with the personal in a way that shows who you are, how you work, and why you&rsquo;re a brilliant addition to the team.

<h4>Ocho People is a recruitment agency in Belfast built around one idea - Hiring is too important to be treated as a transaction.&nbsp;</h4>
Working as a recruitment agency across Northern Ireland and as a recruitment agency in Dublin, our team brings more than 100 years of combined recruitment experience to every client and candidate we work with, and we understand what it actually takes to build successful teams and scale ambitious businesses in these markets.
Our background spans industries and every stage of business growth. As a recruitment agency in Belfast, we've partnered with start-ups finding their first ten hires, and as a recruitment agency in Dublin, we've helped scale-ups build out leadership teams under pressure. Across Northern Ireland more broadly, we work with established brands protecting and evolving high-performing functions. That range matters because no two hiring challenges look the same, and a recruitment partner who's only ever worked in one lane can't offer the perspective businesses need when the stakes are high.
What sets us apart isn't just the breadth of our experience, it's how we use it. We don't believe in reducing recruitment to a stack of CVs and a keyword match. We bring insight into what's actually happening in the Belfast, Northern Ireland, and Dublin job markets, instinct built from years of reading people and situations, and a genuine understanding of what great talent looks like in practice, not just on paper. That's the difference between filling a vacancy and building a team that lasts.
At Ocho, recruitment isn't just a service we offer, it's a craft we've spent years refining as a leading recruitment agency in Belfast and Northern Ireland. We've lived through the highs of placing exactly the right person in exactly the right role, and the lows of tight markets, difficult searches, and hiring cycles that test everyone involved. We've supported candidates across Belfast, Dublin, and Northern Ireland through some of the most significant, career-defining moves of their working lives, and we've helped businesses make hires that shaped their next chapter of growth. That experience means we know how to move fast without cutting corners, think strategically under pressure, and deliver results without unnecessary process or empty promises.
We're also, simply, real people who care about real outcomes. Recruitment can be an impersonal industry, but that's never been how we operate. Whether you're a business leader working with a recruitment agency in Belfast to build out your team, or a candidate working with our recruitment agency in Dublin to navigate your next career move, you'll find a team at Ocho who is genuinely invested in getting it right, not just getting it done. We back that commitment with the depth of experience, local market knowledge, and hands-on support to make it happen.
If you're looking for a recruitment agency in Belfast, a recruitment agency in Dublin, or a recruitment partner anywhere across Northern Ireland, Ocho People is ready to help you get there.

Java Developer

Senior Full Stack Engineer&nbsp; (AI-Native Product Engineering) Remote (NI)
&nbsp;
At a Glance
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Senior, full-stack engineering role at a high-growth, publicly listed technology business
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Remote-first, must be based in Northern Ireland
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; React, TypeScript and Python across a genuinely distributed, event-driven platform on AWS
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Real end-to-end ownership, with AI built into the daily workflow rather than bolted on
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Salary: &pound;80,000- &pound;100,000 +
&nbsp;
About the Company
Our client is a growing technology business that builds the software powering a global operations network... quoting, logistics, dispatch, invoicing and inventory all run through platforms its engineering teams own outright. Recently listed and reporting strong financial results, the business is also playing an active part in some of the largest AI and cloud infrastructure builds happening anywhere in the world right now. Its Belfast-based engineering presence is growing fast, with AI-assisted development practices embedded across the full product lifecycle.
&nbsp;
The Role
This is a senior engineering seat with genuine end-to-end ownership... not a backend role that occasionally touches the frontend. You will take a problem from idea to shipped solution, working across the stack and, where needed, beyond your own team's codebase. AI is not a policy here, it is how the best engineers already work, and you will be expected to use it fluently across design, development, testing and review. The culture rewards judgement and initiative over process: engineers see an issue and fix it, rather than waiting for a ticket. If you want autonomy, a real product mindset and a team that has already moved past debating whether AI belongs in the workflow, this is built for you.
&nbsp;
Key Responsibilities
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Own features end-to-end, from idea and design through to shipped, production-ready code
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Build across the full stack, spanning React/TypeScript frontends and Python backend services
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Design and evolve distributed, event-driven systems that scale with the business
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Use AI tools throughout the workflow, including design, coding, testing, review and documentation
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Contribute confidently to codebases outside your immediate team when a change calls for it
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Resolve production issues quickly and independently, without waiting on ticket-driven process
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Collaborate directly with product and engineering leadership to shape technical direction
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mentor engineers around you and help raise the bar on engineering practice
&nbsp;
What You'll Need
Essential:
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5+ years' commercial experience as a full-stack engineer
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Strong hands-on experience with React and TypeScript
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Strong hands-on experience with Python for backend services and APIs
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Solid experience with AWS and cloud-native infrastructure
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Experience with distributed, event-driven or microservice architectures
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Genuine, demonstrable use of AI tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor or similar) as part of your daily workflow
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Right to work in Northern Ireland/UK
Desirable / Nice to Have:
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exposure to Kafka, PostgreSQL, DynamoDB or Kinesis
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Experience going beyond code completion into agentic or LLM-driven workflows
&nbsp;
Why Apply?
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Salary: &pound;80,000- &pound;100,000
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Remote-first working, based in Northern Ireland
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Genuine autonomy... build, ship and own your work without layers of process
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Join a business at a genuine inflection point, newly listed and growing fast
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Play a real part in infrastructure behind some of the most ambitious AI and cloud projects being built today
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A team that already lives an AI-first way of working, rather than talking about getting there
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Real scope for technical influence and career progression as the Belfast team scales
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Exclusive opportunity managed by Ocho People, not advertised elsewhere

Senior Full Stack Software Engineer React | TypeScript | Python | AWS UK Remote
<ul>
<li>Senior-level full-stack role within a rapidly scaling US technology business</li>
<li>Genuine end-to-end ownership across React, TypeScript, Python and AWS</li>
<li>Cloud-native, event-driven distributed systems operating at meaningful scale</li>
<li>Fully remote, UK-based</li>
<li>&pound;80,000 to &pound;100,000 plus a strong benefits package</li>
</ul>
About Our Client
Our client is a US technology business that has been growing its UK engineering function as the product scales. The team operates within a modern cloud-native architecture and the engineering culture is genuinely autonomous&hellip; engineers are expected to understand the problems they are solving, make architectural decisions and take ownership of the software they build in production.
The Role
This is a genuine senior full-stack role, and that word matters here. The team is not looking for a backend engineer who occasionally touches the frontend, or a React specialist who makes small API changes. You will be expected to take a problem from initial product discussion and technical design through frontend, backend, cloud infrastructure, testing and production deployment.
You will work closely with product managers and designers within a highly autonomous environment, contributing to architectural decisions rather than consuming them. The core environment is React, TypeScript, Python and AWS, alongside cloud-native, event-driven and distributed systems. The team is also actively exploring how AI-assisted development tools improve the way software is designed, built and maintained, which makes this an interesting opportunity for engineers who are already working this way and want an environment that actively encourages it.
Key Responsibilities
<ul>
<li>Design, build and operate production software end to end, owning both frontend and backend from initial design through to deployment</li>
<li>Build sophisticated React and TypeScript applications with a strong focus on component architecture, state management, performance, maintainability and testing</li>
<li>Design and build robust Python services and APIs, including event-driven, asynchronous and distributed systems</li>
<li>Contribute to architectural decisions and be able to explain the reasoning behind them clearly, including trade-offs around scalability, reliability and data modelling</li>
<li>Own the AWS infrastructure relevant to the applications you build, including containers, Kubernetes, serverless technologies, deployment strategies and cloud observability</li>
<li>Work with product managers and designers from problem definition through to delivery, challenging assumptions and proposing well-reasoned technical solutions</li>
<li>Write and maintain automated tests across unit, integration and end-to-end levels as an expected part of delivering production-grade software</li>
<li>Use AI-assisted development tools to improve your own productivity while maintaining full ownership of code quality, security and engineering standards</li>
<li>Participate actively in code review and technical discussion, constructively challenging decisions where a better approach exists</li>
<li>Mentor less experienced engineers within the team</li>
</ul>
What You'll Need
Essential
<ul>
<li>Substantial commercial experience delivering production software at senior level</li>
<li>Strong, demonstrable experience with React and TypeScript&hellip; building complex applications rather than simple interfaces or internal tools</li>
<li>Meaningful backend engineering experience, ideally with Python, including API design, service architecture, data modelling and asynchronous processing</li>
<li>Working knowledge of AWS and modern cloud-native deployment, including an understanding of what happens to your software after you commit the code</li>
<li>Experience with distributed systems, microservices, messaging or event-driven architecture</li>
<li>A strong approach to automated testing and the ability to explain how that fits within a CI/CD environment</li>
<li>The ability to talk in depth about projects where you have taken genuine technical ownership across both frontend and backend&hellip; what problem you were solving, what decisions you made and why</li>
<li>Based in the UK with the right to work here</li>
</ul>
Desirable
<ul>
<li>Experience with technologies such as Kafka, Kinesis, PostgreSQL or DynamoDB</li>
<li>Practical experience using AI development tools&hellip; Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, LLM APIs, MCP-based tooling or agentic workflows&hellip; to meaningfully accelerate real engineering work</li>
<li>Experience building AI-assisted internal tooling, automations or agentic systems, or working with LLM APIs within a production product</li>
</ul>
Why Apply?
<ul>
<li>&pound;80,000 to &pound;100,000 base salary</li>
<li>26 days annual leave plus bank holidays</li>
<li>Pension with 10% employer contribution and 10% employee contribution</li>
<li>Fully remote, UK-based</li>
<li>Highly autonomous engineering culture&hellip; you own your work from design to production rather than completing tickets within an architecture someone else defined</li>
<li>Complex distributed systems and cloud-native infrastructure operating at significant scale</li>
<li>An engineering organisation that is actively shaping how AI changes the software development lifecycle&hellip; not one that is waiting to see what happens</li>
</ul>

&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Genuine investment in your own growth as a leader, alongside your team's.

Essential:
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5+ years building and deploying machine learning models in production environments
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Strong Python skills and experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Practical experience with NLP techniques and unstructured text data
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Experience with a public cloud provider (AWS, GCP or Azure) for ML workloads
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Solid understanding of MLOps: model deployment, monitoring and retraining pipelines

Why Apply?
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hybrid working model based in Belfast
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Genuine production-scale ML, not proof-of-concept work
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Direct exposure to LLMs and generative AI applications
