Who we are
Fifty One Degrees (51D) is a UK AI and data consultancy, founded in 2023 by Nick and Mark. Prior to 51D, our CEO Nick Harding founded and scaled the fintech Fluro to four million credit applications a year. Mark Somers (CPO) built 4most into the UK's largest independent credit risk consultancy.
We embed practitioners in client teams and build the best solution that will drive for maximum client value. Strategy, governance and training are also key, but we stay and build rather than hand over a document and leave.
We're a fast-growing startup with clients across a range of industries, such as financial services, retail, property and PR. The problems change often, and you'll see more in a year here than you would on the average graduate scheme.
This role combines client-facing consultant and software engineer. You’ll need to fluently read, interpret, write and test production-level code; but you'll also spend time working closely with our clients.
A real part of what we do is AI enablement and strategy: helping client teams adopt AI tooling, redesigning how they work around it, and building the systems that make it stick. This means configuring and integrating as well as writing code from scratch. If you are looking for a role that's only heads-down engineering, this isn't it. If you want to see how AI actually lands inside a business and unlocks value, this is the role for you.
How we work
Small teams, real ownership, no layer of middle management between you and the client or the founders. You're trusted with real work from week one, combined with the right level of support. We pair, we share what we learn, and we're honest about what's working and what isn't. Personalised development and mentorship from senior leaders is always available.
Our process
Our typical hiring process usually consists of the following stages:
Initial screening call
Competency-based interview
Technical assessment
Note that we may add additional assessment stages if required.
