What we do

Intelligent Data Collection is a UK transport data and technology business delivering traffic intelligence, analytics and software solutions to support infrastructure planning, mobility strategy and transport decision-making.

Established in 2007, we work with local authorities, engineering consultancies, airports and national transport programmes across the UK, delivering large-scale transport data projects and developing software platforms that improve how transport data is captured, processed and used.

Our technology platform, Quantica, sits at the centre of that growth, bringing together operational delivery, analytics, AI-enabled workflows and client reporting into one scalable SaaS environment.

Why work for us

This is an opportunity to join an established business with nearly 20 years of market credibility, while helping build the next phase of our software capability.

Unlike many software roles, the products you build here are used in live infrastructure, transport planning and real-world decision-making. Your work will directly shape how major transport programmes operate and evolve.

As part of our South African growth strategy, you will join at the early stage of building our development team locally, creating genuine opportunities for progression, ownership and long-term influence.

Our culture

We are practical, delivery-focused and commercially driven. We value accountability, high standards and people who take ownership of their work. Our teams work closely across software, operations and product, ensuring that what we build solves real business and client problems.

Our engineering process

We build and improve live software products in an agile delivery environment, with regular sprint planning, stand-ups and product reviews.

Our focus is on scalable architecture, clean code, strong UI/UX and product-led development. Engineering works closely with operational teams to ensure software development remains commercially relevant and user-focused.

Our stack includes modern front-end frameworks, API integrations, cloud infrastructure and AI-enabled product development.

Our hiring process

Our process is straightforward and focused on capability.

Stage 1: Initial review and screening Stage 2: Technical interview and code discussion Stage 3: Final interview with leadership Stage 4: Offer

We move quickly and value strong communicators, clean thinkers and developers who can build with ownership and purpose.
