Equity-Based | Remote | Flexible Hours | Part-Time or full time.
Are you a Senior Full-Stack Developer / software engineer looking for something more than just a job? Become the Co-Founder & CTO of E-hive, an AI-powered recruitment start-up that’s reshaping how employers find talent — smarter, faster, and with less friction.
We're looking for a technical co-founder to join an early-stage startup called E-hive on an equity-only basis. This is a flexible role where you'll have full ownership of the tech side of the product, with the freedom to structure the technology as you see fit and work entirely on your own schedule. You can treat it as a side project at first, with the option to go full-time if things gain traction, or remain a silent technical partner if you prefer. As a founding member, you'll essentially be investing your skills instead of capital, earning equity in return. You'll have the option to keep your shares in the company and reap dividends over time, or sell your shares and exit if the business performs well. This is a unique opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up and share in its long-term success.
👋 About E-hive
I’m Fouzy Barahman, founder of E-hive and a recruitment professional with 8+ years in the industry, including running my own successful agency since 2019. I’ve seen where the bottlenecks are — and now we’re building the tech to fix them.
We’re initially focused on education recruitment, but the long-term scope includes tech, healthcare, finance, and beyond. The Figma designs are done, the roadmap is in place, and we’re ready to build.
🧠 What We're Building
Employers describe the role in plain English — e.g., “I need a Maths teacher with five years of experience” — and our AI system uses natural language processing and semantic search to return the best-fit candidates.
Think ChatGPT for CVs, but built for scale — using AI to parse, understand, and match talent beyond keyword searches.
👨‍💻 Your Role – Co-Founder & CTO
You’ll lead the tech build from the ground up — architecture, integrations, dev strategy, and all things engineering. You’ll have the freedom to shape the platform how you see fit, with full co-founder influence. we are looking for software engineers, developers, CTO, technical lead etc. as long as you can build as you will be the sole developer to start off with
🛠️ Tech Stack (Flexible)
Below are the technologies I think make sense for our MVP — but as CTO/Co-Founder, it’s entirely your call. If you believe there's a better approach, you have full autonomy to choose the stack that works best.
Suggested Tech (Totally Flexible):


  • Frontend: React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

  • Backend: Node.js, Express, Python (FastAPI / Flask / Django)

  • Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis

  • Cloud/Infra: AWS, GCP, Docker, GitHub Actions, CI/CD

  • AI/NLP: OpenAI API, LangChain, Hugging Face, Elasticsearch, Pinecone

  • Others: REST, GraphQL, Figma (for design handoff), Vector DBs, Celery, Kafka

No need to build AI from scratch — we’ll leverage third-party APIs like OpenAI and Hugging Face. The goal is to build a scalable, intelligent product that can evolve over time.
⚡ What’s In It for You?


  • Equity in a promising, scalable tech start-up

  • True ownership — make key tech decisions and shape the product

  • Flexible entry — start part-time around your current job

  • Exit options — go full-time, become a silent partner, or exit with equity

📩 Interested?
Let’s chat. I’ll happily share the pitch deck and demo what we’re working on, and you decide if its for you or not, but you wont be disappointed (guranteed)
Find me — Fouzy Barahman — on LinkedIn (listed under E-hive). CV Library doesn’t support links, but I’ll pop up in search. or simply apply for this role so i can call you back.
This is a rare chance to shape a product from the ground up with a founder who understands the space — and to build something truly game-changing with AI

Where to Advertise Data Engineering Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising data engineering jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. Data engineers occupy a distinct discipline that sits between software engineering, data science and cloud infrastructure — and the strongest candidates identify firmly with the data engineering community rather than with adjacent roles. General job boards consistently conflate data engineering with data analysis, data science and BI development, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist pipeline and platform roles. This guide, published by DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data engineering roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Engineering Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data engineering has become one of the most strategically important disciplines in the entire technology sector — and one of the most reliably in-demand. Every organisation that wants to use data to make decisions, train AI models, personalise products, manage risk, or understand its customers depends on data engineers to build the infrastructure that makes any of that possible. Without well-designed, reliable data pipelines, the most sophisticated machine learning model is worthless and the most ambitious analytics strategy is undeliverable. That foundational importance has made data engineering hiring remarkably resilient through the technology market corrections of the past few years. Where headcount reductions fell heavily on some engineering disciplines, demand for data engineers held firm — because the work of building and maintaining data infrastructure cannot be deferred in the way that some product development can. The data keeps coming. The pipelines need to work. But the data engineering jobs market of 2026 is not simply a stable version of what it was three years ago. The discipline has undergone a series of architectural shifts — from batch to streaming, from on-premise data warehouses to cloud-native lakehouses, from hand-rolled pipelines to declarative transformation frameworks, and most recently toward AI-augmented data engineering workflows that are beginning to reshape what the role looks like in practice. The employers hiring data engineers today are asking for a meaningfully different skill set than those hiring three years ago. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which architectural patterns are becoming standard, which technologies are defining the modern data stack, and how the definition of a data engineering career is evolving toward a richer intersection of infrastructure, analytics, and AI enablement. This article breaks down what the UK data engineering jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

New Data Engineering Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving the Data Revolution

Data engineering is at the heart of the digital economy, transforming raw data into actionable insights, powering analytics, AI systems, and cloud infrastructure. As the UK and global markets continue to invest heavily in data platforms, pipelines, and real-time analytics, demand for skilled data engineers is growing rapidly. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.DataEngineeringJobs.co.uk , the critical question is: which companies are expanding, hiring, and shaping the future of data-driven business? This article highlights new data engineering employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, scale-ups, and international firms expanding in the UK.
