January work blues? Here are 5 interesting tech jobs hiring right now 

Interesting tech jobs

Despite volatile times in tech last year, software engineers have plenty of reasons to be optimistic about 2024, with plenty of interesting tech jobs and new opportunities available. 

According to Deloitte’s Tech Trends 2024, the most forward-thinking tech companies are empowering engineers with a shift in focus from DevOps to DevEx/DX, meaning developer experience of course.  

This developer-first mindset aims to make it easier for developers to design, test, release and evolve software that provides value to an organisation by optimising workflows, processes and working environments.  

This can mean different things in different organisations, but overall, we should see a shift from return-to-office mandates for engineers, and an increased focus on wellbeing and retention.  

In day-to-day working, this will look like automating tedious tasks, minimising bottlenecks with standardised tools, languages and processes, and focusing on reusability – taking time to use pre-built components rather than always starting from scratch. 

Since engineers both create the products to attract customers, and are the customers when it comes to SDKs and APIs, a focus on DevEx makes good business sense and makes for far more interesting tech jobs. 

If you’re feeling underappreciated or underpaid, take a look at the UKTN Job Board and see interesting tech jobs on offer, like these five roles.
