Role:  Software Tester

Salary:  £30- £40K + 10% bonus

Location:  Nottingham – Hybrid – 1 day a week in the office

Do you dream of finding bugs in software or breaking a software application that was supposed to be flawless?  Ok, maybe you don’t dream of it… But you’re pretty darn good at it!

I’m currently hiring for a Software Tester with a software solutions company based in Nottingham (once a week in the office, 4 days WFH).

The team is a collaborative, fun group of tech enthusiasts who come together to create software magic!  They’re a dynamic and diverse team of problem solvers, creative thinkers, and coffee aficionados, united by their love for cutting-edge technologies and new projects.

As a veteran Software Tester, you’ll be diving deep into software, not only from a front and back-end point of view but perform both automated and manual testing on the various software & mobile applications (training will be provided for automation).

Your mission is to write, execute, and maintain functional and non-functional test cases for new and existing applications, mobile, desktop application and API functionality applications that leave your Test Managers awe-struck and thanking their lucky stars that they hired you!

I hear you say, is there a clear progression plan in such a company?

Absobloominlutely! They have a clear structured career plan where you can either go down a technical or management route. You will be part of a larger software testing team of a dozen other testers, which also includes 3 team leaders and a test manager.

So, what are the requirements for this role?

  • At least 18 months of experience in software testing & excellent attention to detail
  • Excellent understanding of testing web applications including UI, cross-browser compatibility, general web functions and standards
  • Experience in creating and/or maintaining automated test scripts for web-browsers
  • Solid understanding of APIs and how to approach API testing including experience with API testing tools such as Postman

  • Strong knowledge and understanding of testing processes and methodologies

If you think you have what it takes, call or email me.

Yours in anticipation,

Ruby on Rails Developer – Biodiversity Systems

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

Ruby on Rails Engineer – Biodiversity / Conservation

Location: Hybrid, Cambridge 2 days per week (ideally, maybe more flexibility)

Salary: £50K – £62K + 12% pension, life insurance and more.

VISA SPONSORSHIP AVAILABLE FOR RELOCATION

Are you someone who loves our planet and wants to do good in a role with a biodiversity-focused global organisation?

Would you like to do more with your technical skills? Are you somebody who’s dreamed of working to support and connect people and systems for the benefit of species conservation? Read on.

Thankfully, as you read this there are organisations already working on deeply detailed and technical systems aimed at recovering and regenerating ecosystems. These are essential in promoting collaboration and preventing biodiversity loss or limiting loss in scenarios where it is unavoidable.

These systems range from databases on endangered species and key biodiversity areas to things like tracking pollution, monitoring species and the recovery of regions or sites. They are integrated into companies, governments and organisations all over the world and help all to understand how ecosystems interact and influence one another and how we, as humans, can protect them.

A passion for nature or the environment more broadly will serve you well here, as a conservation org. they are hyper-focused on impact and making their work accessible, integrating partners and customers into their platform to expand who is making use of this data for decision-making.

The CIO here has real ambitions to see the tech evolve across this 2,000+ people org with ~10 regional offices and teams spread more broadly than that across biodiversity hotspots (physical & political). That includes hardware, software, data science, and the whole shebang.

So what will you be doing specifically?

Building and maintaining the tech foundation that underpins a key database and platform. This will include investigating issues and implementing fixes to build in resilience and remove points of failure. You’ll also bring documentation up to standard; much was completed by consultants and wasn’t always updated by internal members of the team so there is some work to do in enabling the evolution of this platform and this may include switching to Python and Django or other technologies in the longer-term – 2+ years.

The skills priorities are Ruby on Rails and exp building APIs, exp with geospatial data and GIS tools is highly desirable. The role will be 80:20 backend : frontend, with some infrastructure and security tasks in there.

There are a number of partners who collaborate on various other interlinked tools, so cross-team collaboration exp will be beneficial. If you’ve touched on security or some DevOps tools and cloud technologies, but not extensively, there is support to grow your knowledge – in the form of partners/teammates and funding for courses, textbooks or other materials if needed.

It’s a small team of ~5, including the systems manager, that is part of a broader conservation tech ecosystem of 5-6 other teams and systems that occasionally collaborate or share resources, including with some of those partner orgs.

You’ll be involved with the design, review code and work closely with, scientists, ecologists, and climate researchers, prioritise work and engage some stakeholders or 3rd parties, also some internal teams such as GIS and data analysts and program managers to support them in delivering projects across various tiers of the conservation sector.

Interested in addressing biodiversity loss and turning things around? Do say hello!  🙂

Mid – Senior C# Developer

Role: Mid – Senior C# Developer

Location: North Nottingham, hybrid 1/ week in office.

Salary: Up to £60k

This has to be one of my all-time favourite companies to recruit for; they are so lovely.

A long-standing Rebel client, this company makes me happy- they value their staff.

I’m looking for a senior or strong mid-level C# Developer to join a wonderful small-medium-sized company in North Nottingham, just off the M1 J26.

Their beautiful offices have been done up professionally, and have barely been used, as they moved in just before Covid hit- so it would be really great for you to get in there and make yourself at home!

They have 3 product development teams, using different tech, ranging from C# MVC, SQL Server and angular to .Net Core and microservices, Azure, and react (moving to Blazor); this role is ideally going to be going into the last team, so new shiny tech and best practice (SOLID, design patterns, you know the score) is where they are at, and what they’d like you to be proficient with.

The work you do here is needed and recognised- they are small enough that everyone knows everyone, collaborates, and generally has a great time at work. This is well-reflected in their very low staff turnover.

Work/life balance is something they are passionate about, so they maintain a 35-hour working week, with core hours, and working-from-home options to help with this. They also offer things like training budget, including Pluralsight subscriptions for engineers, and the chance to upskill in different areas of business, for example, if you are a dev and want to move into QA or SysAdmin, they will support you to make that move.

They are of the mindset that human interaction and spontaneity is something that can’t be replaced by scheduled meetings, and since they all actually like each other, going into the office again when it’s safe to do so is something they are happy they’ve been able to get back to.

I could go on about them. But if you’ve read this far, nodding along, with a smile, then apply now and we can have a more in-depth chat about your new role!

Software Engineer

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

Role:  Mid- Senior Back End C# Software Engineer

Location: Fully remote/remote first (work from home 100% of the time)

Salary:  Around £50-60k, but flexible depending on experience level/ suitability. £60k isn’t a hard upper limit.

Do you want to work for a company that is actively making the world a better place?

If so, a B Corp is the way to go, and that’s what the company I’m recruiting for is! 🙌🏻

Not only that, but they work in a completely remote and flexible way; as long as you put in the 40 hours per week and attend meetings you’re booked in for, you can work from wherever in the UK, and whenever you want, literally. (You have to be based in the UK for data residency rules)

How do you know you’re right for this role, you ask?

Well, you’ll be a switched-on, very engaging person, who navigates social work situations with ease. You make people feel comfortable around you, and happy, and inspire confidence in you and your abilities.

You’re a technical wizard; with an impeccable foundation in Software Engineering, you not only understand the fundamentals of building excellent software, you live them, too.

For this role in particular, you’ll need to feel at home in a fully back-end development role, and with the following tech:

  • C#
  • .Net
  • .Net Core/ 6+
  • Azure
  • APIs
  • Microservices

The main focus of this role will be for you to work in an external team in an enterprise client of the company I’m recruiting for. Due to the size and nature of the external business- being very large and regulated- things can move quite slowly there. If this kind of pace isn’t up your street, this role probably won’t be right for you.

The upside of the external company you’ll be working in is that they are a household name and the work you do will be enterprise-scale and used by millions of people!

You’ll potentially be offered leadership/ management responsibilities relatively soon after starting in the role, once you’ve shown you’re capable of it, so progression is baked in here.

If this role sounds smashing to you, or you’d like to learn more about it, please either apply now for immediate consideration or drop me a line!

2x Senior C# Developer

Role: 2x Senior C# Developer

Salary: Up to £65k plus excellent benefits, including a 35-hour week, 30 days leave + BH, medical AND dental, etc.

Location: Nottingham, hybrid working with 2 days per week in the office

PLEASE NOTE: Upon joining, you’ll need to be SC Cleared and so you’ll need UK residence for 3 continuous years prior to employment and to be able to provide proof of address for the previous 5 years.

If you’ve been looking for a company to work for that when you tell your friends and family what you do, they go ‘Ooo, that’s cool!’, then look no further!

The company I am recruiting for, exclusively, creates software for use in public sectors, including the police. They have a wide range of products that I’m excited to tell you about!

so, I am looking for 2 Senior full stack C# Software Engineers from a product house background, who has experience seeing projects and products through the full SDLC (as opposed to someone from an agency background).

A ‘Software Engineering’ mentality is desirable in this role due to the nature of what you’ll be building, which needs to be best in class.

Whilst a solid technical background with C#, .Net Core upwards, SQL Server, Razor, React, JavaScript/ TypeScript, Azure, and in an Agile Scrum environment are paramount in this role, personality is the real key to success here. You’ll be an enthusiastic and ambitious person who thrives in an environment where you’ll get to suggest and implement improvements, constantly! Great processes and products are what they strive for, and you’ll love the fact that they actively encourage contributions and accountability.

Ideally, you’ll be up for some technical leadership or mentoring others in the team, as this is a senior-level role, knowledge sharing is high on their agenda!

The team is full of friendly, intelligent, and technically astute people who love to have a good time at work and who have opinions on technical topics, so the ability to hold your own in a technical conversation, whilst being respectful and open-minded, is going to be very useful for you here! Don’t worry, they are always productive, friendly chats!

The hybrid working model they operate is not for the sake of keeping the office or for micromanagement or anything like that, rather, they really want their teams to feel close to each other and the action, have time and room for spontaneous collaboration, and mentoring, and feel that in-person time isn’t replicable for these kinds of things. They don’t dictate which days you have to go in, but most people tend to go on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. They also have flexible hours to accommodate all kinds of personal situations.

If you feel this role sounds right up your street, then let’s be avenue (get it? :D) – apply today for immediate consideration!

Head of Software Development

Written by rebelrecruitersinfo on .

Role:  Head of Development

Salary:  £75-85k + equity and bonus

Location:  Leicestershire HQ – 2/3 office visits per month

Data, data, data.  You can’t move without someone launching a new company, product or service and convincing you that you need more data.

And here’s the thing.  Not all data products are equal.  Some are great and genuinely game-changing.

Some are pure ponies.

The proof is always in the pudding, and in this case the pudding is the number of customers and longevity of the company – and this is one seriously good pudding!

This business has been around for several years working in one of the most robust and stable markets around (they’ve still achieved 30% YoY growth in the last two years).

The business is now looking to grow its flagship product, harnessing the power of emerging technologies, to deliver a new and unique service.

The only problem? They need an Engineering leader to deliver this dream. A visionary with the ability to marry business vision with architectural design and team leadership.

We’re looking for an engineering leader with CTO ambitions. Someone ready to break free from the shackles of delivering someone else’s vision and take ownership of delivering your own! You’ll be passionate about technology and inquisitive about how new technologies can enable the business to deliver more value and better service to its customers.

The strategy will be an important part of the role, but the business recognises their ideal candidate may not have been able to demonstrate their abilities in this area in their current role, so they’re willing to give you a chance with them.

For this role you will need:

  • To be an engineering leader with the ability to coach and mentor a team to achieve their full potential.
  • Proven experience in the .NET stack with the ability to architect solutions that can scale with business ambitions.
  • To be the voice of engineering – engagement with non-technical stakeholders is critical.

The company are offering between £75-85k base with potential for equity, bonus and a generous holiday allowance, health insurance and pension. The company offers the ability to work in a true scale-up environment with a warm and down-to-earth team working towards a genuine and feel-good purpose.

This role is exclusive to Rebel so please apply for a guaranteed personal response or reach out to alex@rebelrecruiters.co.uk or 07458 160 412 for a confidential conversation about the role.

Senior Developer

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

Role: Senior Developer (C# .Net Core)

Location: Fully remote (1/ fortnight in the office for team meetings)

Salary: up to £57k depending on level of experience

If you’re fed up with getting passed rubbish projects, not having the support you need to do your job to the best of your ability, and having no real career progression or training, then you should apply for this role. I know it’s a blunt opener, but I can’t think of a witty way to say; ‘you’re being underappreciated and that should stop because you’re great. Here’s how.’

I’m recruiting for a company in Leicester and they need a Developer.

They’ll be good to you.

They have some great projects to get stuck into- both internal and external- because a few years ago some really great, forward-thinking people in their tiny ‘IT dept’ decided to champion tech to the board of Directors, and they got the go-ahead to put tech at the heart of the company, and it’s working; they are doing better than ever before.

They have done -and are continuing to make the lives of their non-IT colleagues better by improving the systems/ apps they use better. They are delivering new external applications to ameliorate the experience of their users.

They use the latest iterations of the tech they use- C#, .Net Core, Azure, Azure DevOps, CosmosDB, Azure AD, Docker, Kubernetes, Entity Framework, microservices, etc. and believe in doing things the *right* way, both in terms of technical best practice and methodologically, with things like Agile and DevOps processes.

They have implemented an Agile methodology and team structure; so whilst the team structure is quite flat because of that- lots of cross-collaboration between PMs, BAs, Devs, Test, etc. they are a relatively large company, and there are progression routes a-plenty, with training offered, too.

They have a number of technical teams, filled with people that love what they do, and are blinking great at it.

They are genuinely committed to being one of the best companies to work for in terms of their people, tech, projects, and beautiful office (with free parking and lots of treats in the kitchen).

Principal Software Developer – Core Assessment Engine

Role:  Principal Software Developer – Core Assessment Engine

Salary:  £70-80k plus benefits

Location: Birmingham office, flexible working hours and location. You can come into the office as much or as little as you like. The average, I would say, is 1 / month

Do you want to work in a company that is big enough to have well-established career paths, small enough to know that all your work makes a real, material difference, and prides itself on not only some of the best tech talent around but a culture to match?

If not, why not?!

I love recruiting for this company, and I’m sure you’ll love working there.

I am looking for a Principal Software Developer to join a team of 5 highly proficient, friendly people, consisting of; a team leader, 2 senior devs, mid-level dev, and a QA.

As an experienced and highly capable Software Developer, well-versed in modern software development best practice, cloud services, architecture, and high-quality solutions, this role will see you providing both hands-on software development yourself and technical leadership for the team you’re in, which looks after 6 software products, 2 of which are larger and more notable than the others.

You will be a democratic, force for good within the team; knowing when to take the initiative to instruct and when to listen and encourage those around you. You will make key decisions around a number of areas, including software architecture, technology choices and solution design, all with the knowledge in mind that achieving software excellence is a group activity, and all ideas are welcomed, from everyone. Successful outcomes are something to be shared and for everyone to be proud of and contribute to.

Tech-wise, you will be especially capable with the following; .NET Framework, MVC, Knockout.js, Azure DevOps, Azure, etc.

This role would be perfect for you if you’re the kind of person who has a very curious mindset, and someone who can’t help but want to improve an application/ feature/ bit of code that isn’t optimal!

They are starting the process of rejuvenating the applications you’re looking after to bring them in line with the rest of the bleeding-edge tech apps elsewhere in the company (written in .Net 6, Angular, Azure, TypeScript, etc) before they become legacy.

You will be taking the technical decisions to make this happen, so things like ‘which TypeScript framework would work best for what we’re trying to achieve?’ and ‘Which is the best tool for the job here?’ are what you will think about and take action on.

You will have no direct reports but will be a hands-on, Senior member of the team, supporting and working closely alongside the Team Leader.

If this sounds like a great time to you, apply now, or if you want to ask some questions to learn more, drop me a line and let’s talk!

GreenTech Fullstack Developer

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

GreenTech Fullstack (or potentially frontend) DeveloperLocation: Cambridge, hybrid – 2 days per MONTH on-siteSalary:  Up to £38K (+12% pension, healthcare and more)

Biodiversity is a buzzword right now. The destruction of nature and loss of biodiversity is amplifying other crises.

Governments are scrambling to measure and value nature, and how their infrastructure or economic plans impact our wild spaces, health and environment, questioning whether a diverse forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig, palm-oil plantation or regenerative farm?

How do you even track that?

This organisation build tools and offer services and support to conservation partners, private companies and governments around the world to integrate nature into all that they do.

You’ll work proactively with technologies such as Javascript and VueJs, some Ruby on Rails and Python on the backend, along with lots of SQL as they manage various critical databases, to leverage insights and empower all kinds of people, from scientists to policy and lawmakers.

You’ll have one of the most supportive and engaged senior management teams we’ve seen, along with access to a variety of support for learning, from paying for textbooks or conference tickets to getting you onto that course you’ve been tempted to buy.

The work you do here will accelerate the positive impacts and solutions available to improve our environment by generating buy-in across stakeholder groups of all levels, showing the real-world benefits of enhancing and protecting biodiversity.

A lot of these benefits are tangible economic and social wins that in the longer term will reduce our dependency on problematic resources such as fossil fuels.

Their tech stack is predominantly Javascript, Ruby on Rails, Python and MySQL, with some other bits sprinkled in and use of all cloud platforms based on what their partners use.

They have so many areas to add value, they need someone driven who can be decisive in wanting to find ways to add value.

You’ll work with scientists and researchers to design, build and implement tools. You might run workshops or training to help them with the tools they’ve built for themselves. The people here are exceptionally passionate so will chart their own path where possible. You’ll be able to do the same and support others in their endeavours.

So, if you’re serious about saving our planet and turning the tide against the fight to fix our climate crisis, this is definitely a role you should apply for.

GreenTech GIS Developer

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

GreenTech GIS Developer – PostGIS and Python

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

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

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

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

The key focus of this role will be building and optimising biodiversity informatics products. In-house teams use some, others are built and maintained on behalf of conservation partners that are based around the world – some large and some very small, with varied specialisms and focuses.

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 proactive in creating software and services that others can use and feed into to deliver on their goals and support nature-positive decision-making.

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

Technically the skills needed for this role are PostGIS, PostgreSQL and Python. Skills and tech that are beneficial to have touched on are Javascript with VueJS, Ruby on Rails, MS Azure and anything data and automation-related, but GIS is the priority here.

You’ll support the development and data teams on various projects too as so much of the work here incorporates or integrates GIS and mapping features. Some projects you’ll own and build out, and others you’ll review and contribute to.

You’ll be able to 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 and researchers and all kinds of 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.

GreenTech Data Engineer – Earth Observation

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

GreenTech Data Engineer – Earth Observation

Key Skills: Satellite imagery processing, remote sensing, earth observation exp.
Location: Fully remote within Europe, +/- 2 hours of CET.
Salary: €55K – €80K + 13% vacation supplement + equity & benefits.

Vegetation management may not sound all that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery, geospatial analysis and Machine Learning with data coming in from teams, remote sensors and other hardware on the ground certainly does! 

Currently, these systems and tools are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money in a number of industries. But the company are doing heavy R&D to offer further climate solutions.

Their existing offering saves homes, businesses and critical services from blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. It’s a game changer improving energy and climate resilience.

The company have grown rapidly since the end of 2021. There are 60 people now, with around 30 of those in development and data science, including product, UI/UX, delivery etc.

This role will focus on scaling up their data processing capabilities across their cloud-based platform and services. As the company and capabilities grow, so are its customers and list of requirements, you’ll enable them to take on greater volumes of work and be a big part of the data platform team moving forward.

You’ll focus on ensuring good practice, design and implementation are followed as they scale and optimise their data / ETL pipelines, optimise the processing of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets and build systems that download, store and analyse it all. This will also include supporting teams implementing machine learning and data models, so it’s all quite exciting stuff.

Commercial remote sensing OR satellite image processing experience, AND having ~3+ years exp with Python are a must. They’re keen to speak with people who’ve worked at start-ups or small companies where close customer relationships and interaction are/were the norm. 

Predominantly they use Python, but they also work pretty heavily with GIS technologies and tools. Familiarity with the Pangeo stack; JupyterHub, Dask, and XArray within cloud systems will stand out but they also use PyTorth, Tensorflow, QGIS and more, so experience with similar frameworks or libraries will be transferrable.

Ultimately, if you’ve worked with geospatial and satellite data in a backend developer or data engineer capacity, and have a sincere interest in tackling the climate crisis, it’s worth having a chat.

Jupyter Hub and Notebooks, Python, GIS and remote sensing technologies or tools, along with satellite imagery are clearly the keys to hitting the ground running here, but they are open-minded if you’ve touched on some but not all of those. Meet 60% of the above? Give it a try, there are plenty of roles in this space to explore aside from this one specifically – so bear that in mind!

The team are friendly, passionate and diverse. The company are supportive with good benefits including equity, so you’ve bought into any future success.

What are you waiting for?
