GreenTech Software Developer – Javascript OR Ruby on Rails

Location: Cambridge, flexible – quarterly office visits, maybe fully remote.

Salary:  Up to £44K (+12% pension, healthcare and more)

Biodiversity is taking a beating at the hands of human expansion.

There are lots of ways technology can be utilised to help, rather than hinder, nature and our environment to prevent mass extinctions and nature loss.

This organisation work with governments, institutes, companies and orgs globally to build and implement solutions that improve outcomes.

Maintaining critical databases and expanding data services to deliver detailed insights and modelling. Or building tools for niche purposes, such as utilising remote sensors to track the growth of reforestation and using Geographic Information Systems to improve planning efficiency.

Governments are scrambling to understand how valuable biodiversity is and how it intersects with their economic plans, questioning whether a diverse forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig or palm oil plantation. How do you even measure that?

The aim [of the organisation] is to be more proactive in creating software and services that others can use and feed into to better deliver on their goals.

That means being more proactive in delivering software, websites, and mobile apps and coaching or supporting their somewhat junior team to avoid technical debt and reach go-live for various projects on time, enabling people to make the needed change.

A lot of their projects have geospatial and mapping elements, so experience with GIS tools and PostgreSQL is handy. Their software is built with Ruby on Rails and Javascript, VueJS and Nuxt specifically, so experience with one of those is a must. They also use Python, MySQL, GraphQL MapBox, Esri and Github, working in an Agile environment

As a senior dev, you’ll have a small team of 2-6 people whom you support, depending on your preferences, coaching them and doing code reviews, pair programming and testing so they can see and learn from how you and others tackle problems.

You’ll get involved in some more complex tasks like discussions on architecture and tooling, estimations for projects, resource management, and assigning tasks within your team.

They’ll support you in your development, too. It’s not just about what you can give, they’ll ask what you need to progress too. Whether that’s paying for courses, textbooks, or conference tickets – if you think of it, they’ll consider it, genuinely.

You’ll work with scientists, researchers, and interesting stakeholders to design, build and implement tools. The people here are exceptionally passionate so they will chart their own path where possible. You’ll facilitate some of that and be able to do the same.

If you’re serious about saving our planet this is definitely a role you should apply for.

PHP Laravel Contractor

Written by rebelrecruitersinfo on .

Role:  PHP Laravel Contractor

Location:  Leicester office, full flexibility on whether you work fully remote/ hybrid/ office-based.

Duration:  3 months, rolling (likely to be up to 1 year)

Rate:  Up to £450/ day, Outside IR35

Start date:  Immediately!

 

If PHP is your love language, this is the role for you!

Are you a PHP Developer whose go-to framework is Laravel? Have you worked in an AWS cloud and DevOps environment? Do you like JavaScript/ TypeScript, specifically with Vue?

If your answers to the above questions are ‘HECK YEH!’ (or some variation) then please read on and apply for this role; it’s got your name written all over it!

I am looking for you to join a cracking little company in Leicester, who have a cool, quirky, and rather unique business that needs you.

They have an application that needs some love, care, and attention from you to make it even better!

You’ll be part of a small team of really passionate and friendly engineers, who love collaborating just as much as you do. Communication skills are paramount in this role, as with any small company, everyone needs to be of the same mindset of helping each other, getting stuck in whatever task may come your way, and asking for help yourself if/ when you need it.

Tech-wise, you’ll be using a mix of different tools, languages, frameworks, and concepts to get the job done, including OO PHP, Laravel, JavaScript/ TypeScript, Vue, AWS, GraphQL, and maybe some Node and React.

You can work how you want to, as long as you get stuff done! So either fully remote, hybrid, or office-based; they trust everyone to know what works best for them.

The initial contract will be for 3 months, on a rolling basis, and likely to extend quite far beyond that, so it’s a role you can really get stuck into!

C# Developer

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

Role: C# .Net Core Developer with Angular and AWS

Location: Office is based in Sandiacre, Nottinghamshire, hybrid working with 2-3 days per week in the office.

Salary: Up to £60k

C# and ASP.Net (Core) are where you live.

You’re comfortable there; you got your foundations right at the start with good development practices, and have since built a strong and secure career by learning about handy tools such as dependency injection, microservices, containerisation, etc.

You use cloud hosting like AWS to reduce your overheads and improve efficiencies.

For those mundane, repeatable tasks, you use design patterns, to make sure you do the same thing in the same way, every time, so your house doesn’t fall down due to shoddy, unpredictable work.

Whilst you use modern tech, practices, and techniques, you have been in the development game for long enough to be able to read, understand, and convert an older codebase (.Net 4, MVC, etc) to a new, shiny version (.Net Core, CosmosDB, AWS etc) seamlessly. You know what the newer stuff does best, and ways to incorporate that in the rewrite.

Finally, you’re great at understanding what your users want out of your solution because you’ve got great communication skills and ask the RIGHT questions! Doesn’t matter if they’re internal or external- you are good with people.

Now, you need a new role to put all this knowledge and experience to great use, which – if you hadn’t guessed already – is where this role comes in.

If the above describes you, this is the role for you.

The company is small and nimble; they can make development choices quickly and efficiently, everyone knows each other well, and are intelligent people that like to have a laugh along the way!

They are quite a young company, so even its legacy code isn’t very old. They make a point of leveraging the best tech out there to make sure their products are the best they can be well-written, functional, and reliable.

They have a flagship product and an additional one; this role will initially be seeing your work on the additional one; liaising with internal stakeholders (the product’s current users) to do a revamp of the codebase to bring it up to the latest iteration of .Net Core 6, improve its functionality, and to use a more appropriate database. You will then most likely work on the flagship product, which uses .Net Core 4/5, AWS, Microservices, Docker, etc.

If this sounds right up your street, apply now or drop me a line to find out more about your new role!
