RPA Developer

Permanent Full Time | Hybrid | Gateshead | £40,000–£50,000 depending on experience

The Opportunity

We're hiring an RPA Developer to join our engineering team at Vertu Motors Plc., a business that buys and sells cars, parts, and time across 190+ dealerships nationwide, supported by technology built and maintained by a tight-knit team of engineers.

The problems we solve are real and close to the surface. A business running at £4bn annual revenue, with 7,500+ colleagues, depends on processes that run reliably and efficiently behind the scenes. You'll build and maintain the automation that takes manual, repetitive work off our colleagues' plates, freeing them to focus on customers. This is work with direct, measurable business impact.

This is a role for someone who has built automation in the real world and wants to grow their breadth as an engineer. You'll start from a foundation of RPA and C#/.NET, and you'll have the room (and the support) to work across more of the stack, more languages, and AI-assisted ways of building. We move fast, ship frequently, and learn from what we build.

This role is hybrid. The successful candidate will be ideally based in the Northeast and will be working approximately three days per week at our head office in Gateshead. We are open to considering fully remote candidates for the right person, with the expectation that they may be required to travel to our head office in Gateshead, or their local dealership, at least once a month.

What You'll Work On

Your first 30 days will be about understanding our automation estate, the team's rhythm, and the business context behind what we build, getting familiar with how we ship and where you can start adding value alongside the rest of the team. By 90 days, you'll be contributing to automations and fixes across our process areas, pairing with teammates, and developing a clear picture of how the systems fit together. At six months, you'll be actively contributing to various parts of the team's code estate, specifically working on cloud-based automations and AI solutions over and above RPA solutions, supporting each other's delivery, and helping us ship with confidence.

This is a team role through and through. We pair, review each other's code, and solve problems together. Psychological safety is non-negotiable; there are no silly questions, no heroics, no single points of failure.

What We're Looking For

We've kept this simple on purpose. If you've delivered automation and you're curious about growing as a broader engineer, we want to hear from you.

Must-haves:

RPA experience: Hands-on experience building and maintaining robotic process automation, using tools such as UiPath, Blue Prism, Power Automate, or similar.
C# / .NET experience: Solid, practical development experience in C# and .NET.
A polyglot mindset: You can demonstrate that you work, or can confidently learn to work, across more than one programming language. You don't need to be fluent in our full stack (Golang, C#, TypeScript, and Python), but you need to be the kind of engineer who picks up new languages without friction.
AI workflow experience: You're already using AI-assisted development tools (such as GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or Cursor) as part of how you work day to day.

Nice to have:

AI integration experience: Embedding AI capabilities directly into a product or process (LLM-powered features, AI APIs, agents, or similar).
Cloud experience: Hands-on work with AWS or Azure, deploying and managing services in production environments.
Full-stack and serverless experience: Working across frontend, backend, APIs, and data, including serverless technologies (Lambda, event-driven architectures, or equivalent).
Broader software engineering experience: Prior experience working as a software engineer on solutions that aren't necessarily RPA-related.
Experience with databases (SQL or NoSQL), scripting, or writing standalone tools and background workers.

The Reality

We operate in a high-volume, low-margin industry where reliability and speed both matter. Our automation directly affects how dealerships run and how colleagues do their jobs. The work has stakes, and we take that seriously, but we don't let it tip into anxiety. We keep cycles short, get feedback quickly, and improve incrementally.

You'll be expected to understand the why behind what you're building, communicate clearly when things are unclear, and flag problems early. We'd rather hear about an issue on day two than discover it on day ten.

About Vertu Motors Plc.

Twenty years under the same leadership team has given us genuine stability and a clear direction. We recently completed a significant "One Vertu" transformation, consolidating Bristol Street Motors and Macklin Motors into a single unified platform, a major engineering undertaking that's still delivering change. Our technology mission is simple to describe and hard to execute: understand complexity, deliver simplicity.

We are proud to be the Motor Retailer who invests more in our colleagues' personal development than any other. If you are successful, you can look forward to ongoing training opportunities that provide you with the right career path, career progression, and a range of benefits you would expect from an employer of choice, including:

25 days holiday rising with length of service, plus bank holidays
Access to our online rewards platform, giving you cash back and discounts for multiple retailers
Preferential Service Rates
Colleague Purchase Scheme
Share Incentive Scheme
Pension
Enhanced Maternity and Paternity

If your application is successful, we will need to complete employment checks prior to you starting with us. Your role will include verifying your recent employment, credit history, and a criminal record check.
