<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.

<h2>Careers Done Differently.</h2>

<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.

&nbsp;
The Role
You'll join a small, self-directed team building a new trade ledgering and reporting product... described by the Head of Engineering as a mini start-up inside a corporate. The product is still taking shape, so you'll have real influence over what gets built and how, with end-to-end ownership of features from idea to production. The team moves quickly, embraces AI-assisted coding and is learning as it grows, so curiosity matters as much as a perfect CV. It suits a backend-leaning full stack engineer with a strong C# foundation who wants autonomy, pace and a genuine route towards technical leadership.

&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Use AI-assisted coding tools to move faster and raise quality
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Work directly with product owners and analysts to turn ambiguous requirements into clear solutions
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Champion automated testing, CI/CD and good engineering practice
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Troubleshoot and resolve issues in production
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mentor less experienced engineers as the team grows
&nbsp;

Essential:
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Solid commercial experience as a full stack or backend-leaning engineer
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Strong C#, .NET and ASP.NET skills, ideally with Entity Framework
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Good relational database experience with SQL Server or PostgreSQL
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Working React experience... you don't need to be a front-end specialist
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Experience building and integrating APIs (REST, GraphQL or WebSockets)
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Comfortable owning features end to end within an Agile, autonomous team
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A curious, problem-solving mindset and the confidence to learn new technologies quickly

&nbsp;
Why Apply?
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Salary of &pound;55,000
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hybrid working: three days a week in the Belfast office
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Annual leave and benefits package
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Greenfield product with real ownership and start-up pace, backed by the security of an established global business
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A clear route to lead and principal level... the team's current principal engineer progressed along this exact path
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A team that expects you to grow, so gaps in your skill set are something to develop, not a barrier
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Modern ways of working, with AI-assisted development already part of the day job
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A practical interview process built around real scenarios and collaboration, not trick questions or syntax trivia

&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10-15 years of hands-on software engineering, and you still love being close to the code
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Recent commercial experience in a company that has gone all in on AI... you have driven adoption, not just used the tools
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fluency with modern AI engineering tools and concepts such as Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, agents, MCP and prompt and context engineering
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An end-to-end view of the SDLC, from planning and design through to CI/CD and production

&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Hybrid working with just 2 days a week in the Belfast office
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A rare principal role where you lead the AI agenda for a global engineering organisation
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Direct backing from senior leadership who want real change, not another pilot
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Access to Copilot and multiple LLMs, with the freedom to experiment and scale what works
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Your work will touch platforms used by millions of businesses worldwide
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A straightforward process: an informal chat with senior leadership, then a strategy-focused conversation with a director and an AI specialist... no coding test

Principal Software Engineer - AI Engineering Lead

Machine Learning Engineer | LLM &amp; Agent Evaluation | Python | Remote UK
&nbsp;
At-a-Glance
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Own evaluation for production LLM and agent systems at a funded AI start-up
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Mid to senior individual contributor role across Python, NLP, LLMs and GCP (Vertex AI, BigQuery)
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fully remote from Northern Ireland&nbsp;
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &pound;90,000 to &pound;140,000 base plus equity
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A new role: you will build the evaluation function from the ground up
&nbsp;
About the Company
Our client is a fast-growing AI company building an agentic quality assurance platform that autonomously creates, runs and maintains software tests, so engineering teams can ship with confidence as AI writes more of their code. Its platform runs on custom machine learning models built specifically for testing, and it is trusted by globally recognised enterprise brands across technology, healthcare and professional services. The business is raising its next funding round and is on track for significant growth, with a small, high-calibre Belfast team now expanding into Data Science and Machine Learning.
&nbsp;
The Role
This is a new role and the first dedicated evaluation hire, so you will define how the business measures the quality of its AI. The product is an AI agent, and every change to a model, prompt or piece of agent logic can quietly make it better or worse. Your job is to know which, before customers do.
You will work closely with the engineers building agent capabilities and with the team's senior data scientist, and report into the Head of Data Science. The team is small, so breadth matters as much as depth, and you will regularly pick up work outside your core specialism.
The people who thrive here are hands-on and curious about the business itself, not just the technology. You will be comfortable in the data, confident learning on the job, calm when priorities shift, and you will know when an evaluation is good enough to ship and when it needs more work. Cost is a real constraint in a start-up, so you will think about what each LLM call and pipeline costs as naturally as how accurate it is.
&nbsp;
Key Responsibilities
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Design evaluation frameworks and metrics covering accuracy, safety, latency and cost across agent and LLM systems
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Build benchmark eval sets that reflect real customer scenarios and edge cases
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Develop automated scoring pipelines using rubric-based grading and LLM-as-judge techniques
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Calibrate automated judges against human review so the team can trust the numbers
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Stand up regression suites that catch quality drops from model, prompt or agent-logic changes before release
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Create dashboards that track model and agent quality over time and across releases
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Investigate failure modes in multi-step agent behaviour and prioritise fixes with the engineering team
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Partner with the senior data scientist on deeper statistical analysis of results
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Balance evaluation coverage against compute and API cost
&nbsp;
What You'll Need
Essential:
&bull;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 5+ years in ML engineering, NLP or applied data science, with hands-on experience of LLM or agent-based systems
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Practical experience building or operating evaluation frameworks, automated scoring or benchmark systems for ML or LLM outputs
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Strong Python and experience building data pipelines for evaluation datasets
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Solid understanding of NLP and modern LLM capabilities, including prompting techniques, agentic workflows and retrieval
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A strong statistics foundation, including sampling, variance and judging whether a change in results is meaningful
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ability to design metrics that represent real-world quality, not just benchmark scores
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Working experience with GCP (Vertex AI, BigQuery) or equivalent hands-on experience with another major cloud ML platform
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Right to work in the UK
Desirable / Nice to Have:
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Experience with LLM-as-judge techniques, rubric design or human-in-the-loop evaluation programmes
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Familiarity with agent architectures and the failure modes specific to multi-step agentic systems
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Experience operating evaluation systems at scale in production
&nbsp;
Why Apply?
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &pound;90,000 to &pound;140,000 base salary plus equity in a business heading into its next funding round
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Fully remote, based in Northern Ireland&nbsp;
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Async-first culture that trusts you to manage your own time and deliver
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Build a function from scratch, with direct influence over how the product's AI is measured and released
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Real breadth: a small team where you will work across engineering, data and ML rather than in a narrow lane
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A clear, transparent five-stage interview process, with AI tools actively encouraged in the take-home exercise
&bull;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A long-term career home in a company that is investing seriously in its data and ML function
