Location: 100% remote (office in Derby if you want to go in at all)
Rate: Up to £500/day OUTSIDE IR35
Duration: 3 months initially, potential to extend
Start date: Immediate (September 2023)
Tech: C#, .Net Core/ 7, angular/ react, SQL
I’m working with a small, nimble company who have lots of work to do and need your help to get it all done!
I’m looking for a sparky, enthusiastic, and adaptable .Net contractor to join my client to help them deliver on a number of different projects.
The pace there is fast, and the opposite of corporate, so if you’re used to/ prefer working in a silo or in a large company where there are dozens of people around you to lean on, this contract is not going to be for you.
Skills-wise, you’ll be great with the full Microsoft stack and complementary tech; C#, .Net Core/ 7, angular or react (either or both is fine), and SQL.
You’ll need to be able to start immediately; i.e. this month (September 2023).
If this sounds like a great time for you, get in touch for immediate consideration!
Salary: €75,000 – €90,000 + equity + remote setup, conference, and training budgets.
Location: Fully remote – Europe or UK based.
Forest management can be challenging. Cut too much and you’re causing unnecessary damage, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating and costly.
Vegetation management may not sound all that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery and Machine Learning with data coming in from team and remote sensors and other hardware on the ground presents interesting challenges!
These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.
Most importantly though, this saves homes, businesses and services from blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. It’s a game changer in energy and climate resilience.
The company have grown rapidly since the end of 2021. There are ~60 people now, with around 40 of those in development and data science.
They hired a DevOps Engineer in Jan 2023 and are growing that team as they look to scale their systems and build resilience ahead of a Series A fundraiser in early 2024.
You’ll support the data and software engineering teams to ensure new features go live seamlessly, and that new services have the capacity they need to run efficiently. Ensuring monitoring and alerting is set up will also be key, as well as implementing some security protocols in collaboration with the director of CloudSec.
They use Google Cloud Platform but understand AWS is largely transferrable, alongside Docker, Kubernetes and Dagster. But experience with Argo, Airflow, Dask or others is transferrable.
If you’ve worked with satellite data or imagery, that’s hugely valuable, and Pangeo stack, so JupyterHub, Xarrat or Zarr will also stand out.
They’re keen to find someone with experience working in startups, ideally with satellite imagery in some capacity, at the very least with large and complex data systems that include high-resolution image-based and geospatial data.
If you’ve not worked with satellite imagery or geospatial data, but you’re a bit of a security expert and are keen to expand your responsibilities there, this could still work if you’ve worked with huge data systems.
Following that, a real passion for climate solutions is something they’ll need to see.
They care about their staff. They have a 13% vacation stipend to send you on some epic holidays and contribute to your training and development, and operate truly flexibly – so long as you’re available and overlap with the team (+/- 3-hour CET is best) you can work when you chose.
If this sounds like a bit of you please reach out. They’re remote first and will consider people anywhere in Europe. They can also provide visa sponsorship via a Netherlands government salary sacrifice scheme if you’d prefer to move to the Netherlands.
Vegetation management. Harder than it sounds. Cut too much; cause unnecessary damage, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating and costly.
Vegetation management may not sound that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery with geospatial analysis and Machine Learning with data coming in from teams, remote sensors and other hardware on the ground presents interesting challenges!
These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.
Most importantly though, this protects as much nature as possible while saving homes, businesses, and services from blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. Literally 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 geospatial / data science.
The data science team are growing to increase the capacity of their systems for their existing clients, and to meet demand as new clients with ever-more-interesting requirements come online. They need someone to support these efforts to utilise the tools they’ve built to bring value from satellite imagery and other geospatial datasets, analysing those using machine learning, and delivering the end results to customers.
You’ll work with commercial teams and customers to understand their needs, what existing solutions can be applied, what’s already planned and in development and what future capabilities can be delivered. You’ll design bespoke solutions and wrangle the necessary people to deliver those.
Also, supporting software engineering and data science teams to improve and create products and tools, define risk, strategy and resource management alongside executing delivery plans in line with estimations.
This role is somewhat hybrid, touching on technical project management, with some hands-on work using Python and Jupyter notebooks to implement fixes, optimise and configure tools and generally tie off loose ends where needed, so you’ll be ~30% hands-on.
Commercial remote sensing experience and satellite imagery exp are a huge benefit, but having experience with Python and Jupyter Notebooks is a must, and 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. They also use PyTorth and Tensorflow, so experience with similar frameworks or libraries will be transferrable, especially if you have that remote sensing, geospatial or satellite data exp.
There will be projects that others lead, and you review or support, but you will take the lead on lots of different projects, some small, some larger. The team are friendly and passionate, and the company are supportive with good benefits including equity, so you’ve bought into any future success.
What are you waiting for – if this sounds interesting and you have done 60-70%, or more, of what’s mentioned above in some form, do hit apply.

Your Dungeon Master awaits, Mica Bell from The Rebel Recruiters Shire of Nottingham.
Location: Office in Farnborough, Hampshire if you want to visit. 100% remote working is what everyone else here does.
Salary: £65k (a bit of wiggle room for a very suitable/ experienced candidate)
Company: Start-up with a lot of variety, some chaos, and lots of progression. Small dev team of 2, looking to double in size now with much more company growth over the medium term.
If you’ve built up a wide and deep skill set around the full Microsoft web tech stack, with C# as your main language of choice, and want to find a company that not only fully utilises your skills, but helps you build on them too, then this role is for you.
I’m working with a cracking little tech start-up that is going places!
They have a presence in the UK (with an office in Farnborough, Hampshire if you ever wish to go there! But they all work 100% remotely) and the US. Currently, they operate within a few states but are looking to drastically expand their reach very soon, so scalability will be a watchword for them!
They are a start-up and so a start-up mentality is crucial to be happy and successful here. You will be the type of person who loves to get stuck into any and all problems/ tasks that come your way, and aren’t the kind of person to say, ‘That’s not my job’. As the company grows, so will your role, responsibilities, level of seniority, and salary.
They have a small team now, with 2 devs and a QA in their tech team (their mobile dev is currently outsourced), so you’ll get to touch upon all aspects of their technical estate, from building APIs, refactoring legacy .Net webforms/ MVC into .Net 7, internal and external websites, Azure, Azure SQL DB and Service Bus work; you’ll always be kept busy!
At a glance, here is the tech they are using:
C#
.Net Core/ 6
.Net Webforms and MVC – these are going to be refactored to .Net 7 with your help
Razor
Blazor
APIs
Azure SQL
Entity Framework
Azure
Service Bus
As they are in start-up mode still, they have lots of areas to expand into on their roadmap as they grow that you could get involved in, which include:
Machine Learning/ Artificial Intelligence (ML/ AI) – neural nets and deep learning
Prompt Engineering (ChatGPT)
Mobile development with Xamarin/ MAUI (currently outsourced, hoping to bring in-house)
Data Engineering
This is a chance to get in at the beginning of their journey and make a difference. You can catapult your own career trajectory significantly, too!
If this sounds right up your street, hit apply now for immediate consideration, otherwise drop me a line to find out more about your next role 😊
If you used to be a C# .Net developer, but after a few years into your career, you realised you actually prefer to build cloud infrastructure more than web apps/ software, and have since built up some good skills within the DevOps sphere, then this role is for you.
I’m working with a global healthcare company to find them a cracking Azure DevOps Engineer to expand their capacity as their workload increases and the team grows.
You’ll slot into their existing team, who are spread across the globe. They have a small team in the UK, which you will help them expand, some in India and others in Australia; you’ll work collaboratively with these teams, in a remote working capacity, to achieve a wide variety of goals, including; to build, maintain and deploy cloud and terraform infrastructure, migrate a monolith over to microservices, help build a production-ready Kubernetes system, put processes in place to make sure certificates and licences are kept up to date, etc.
At a glance, the tech skills you’ll need for this role are:
Azure
Azure DevOps, inc. CI/CI pipelines
IaC (Infrasutrcture as code) esp. with Terraform
Kubernetes (AKS, kubectl)
Helm
C#/ .Net/ Visual Studio/ Powershell
Docker
As the company this role is with is in healthcare, it is highly regulated. The company is very large, and so whilst you’ll be joining a small team, and your work will be visible and valued, you’ll have the security of working for a major player in their field, and progression opportunities that follow.
If this sounds great to you, apply now for immediate consideration, or drop me a line to find out more about your next role!

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! 🙂
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!
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!
Some companies are just out to make a profit, others have bigger ambitions to make a positive difference in the world. If you’d like to work for the latter, then keep reading!
This company collaborates with businesses to reduce their environmental impact and has won awards for their work. It’s not just externally they’re making an impact either. They have a carbon-neutral HQ and have fostered brilliant close-knit culture between their teams making it a joyful place to work.
They’re currently working on a large-scale migration of a legacy CRM from desktop to web-based and cloud-hosted, further helping them protect the planet. This large-scale multi-year project is an excellent opportunity to push your career forward.
We are looking for someone with ambition, passion, and drive. Someone looking to continue building their career within software development and ready to seize this opportunity with both hands.
The company are writing everything with Vue and Typescript so experience in these would be ideal. Given the crossover between frontend libraries, they are happy to consider candidates with React, Angular or strong Javascript experience.
On top of a salary of up to £34,650 pa, the company offers £750 per year training allowance, 25 days holiday + bank holidays, pension, life insurance and a very flexible hybrid policy with only 1 day required in their Newark office every fortnight for sprint planning and
Given the quality of this opportunity, we aren’t expecting it to be available for long so please apply now to be considered.
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!

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.
