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).

Welcome to the next step in your career.

Principal Software Developer – Core Assessment Engine

Written by rebelrecruitersinfo on .

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

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.

GreenTech Senior Ruby on Rails Developer – Remote
Salary: £70,000  £85,000 + Benefits & Equity
Location: Fully remote (UK based)

How would you like to be part of the team that leads in cutting 8% of global emissions, while also tackling food poverty?

Leading more sustainable lives isn’t hard but changing behaviours can be.

We’re working with a company enabling the redistribution of food that would otherwise go to waste and they’re already a global success with a web and mobile app live in 150 countries.

They’ve always been remote and do a lot to ensure their teams are not just succeeding but are genuinely happy, avoiding burnout and creating a super friendly and collaborative culture. Everyone is passionate about addressing social and environmental issues, compassionate and bought into taking action.

You’ll be working within a team of around 12 people, part of a broader tech team of about 30, where every person contributes their own ideas. Pair programming and knowledge sharing are common and shared goals for the platform centre around impact.

The business has been defining its progress frameworks, so you’ll know how to advance your career and grow.

Their web platform is built with Ruby on Rails and React, with AWS hosting everything. Over the last few years, they’ve moved from a monolith to a microservice-based platform and are looking for someone to add new features, improve efficiency and scale up to anticipate many millions of users.

It’d be ideal if you’ve worked in a company where multiple teams contribute to a single product or service. Someone who’s seen the evolution of a product from MVP to a scalable app with, ideally, millions of users or growing complexity.

In a senior capacity, you’ll also help others to grow through code reviews and coaching where you can, catching mistakes, helping people avoid them in future and introducing processes if necessary.

They have high standards when it comes to testing and have QA Engineers embedded into their teams, coaching and supporting devs to improve their capabilities and testing knowledge.

Critically though, you need to have a passion for tackling the climate crisis. They want people who have a good awareness of the scale of the problem and the urgency with which we must act to overcome the challenges ahead.

What’s in it for you? Well, the list is too long to fit in here. Alongside a great salary, true flexibility to work how you like, abroad for 6 months, timings that fit around your life, no clock-watching and real progression, you’ll be joining a company that is already changing the world and has its eyes set firmly on scaling its impact.

If this sounds appealing to you and you have some commercial experience with React, please hit apply and let’s have a chat.

Data Engineering / Software Development Manager

Location: Remote – with occasional (once a month or so) travel into Warwickshire (your team is mainly UK remote).

Salary: £60 – £75k + 10% bonus, pension and healthcare

 

This company are sitting on a goldmine of data. Their customers are going crazy for it, and though they’ve been around for years, the international opportunity for their services is growing and, in many cases, completely untapped.

They have ambitious plans to offer their services to new markets and territories as well as develop new data-focused products.

They already have a very talented software engineering team, but you’ll be the person the developers look to for leadership. The one who, when a deadline needs to be hit, come into your own, leading the team, ensuring they have everything they need and that they enjoy the right balance of accountability and freedom to do what they do best.

In addition to managing the team, you will be responsible for delivering software projects, technical architecture, security and the ongoing integration of new technology and tooling.

You will join one of the country’s fastest-growing companies, but also one with a ‘green’ soul who is doing good in the world and helping us all towards a more sustainable future.

You’ll have a strong Cloud / Data-Engineering background using the Microsoft stack. You’ll appreciate Agile/DevOps best practices (inc. industry standard CI/CD tools), with experience in delivering systems built on MS Azure, along with an appreciation of containerisation using Docker and Kubernetes.

You may be working as a team leader, looking to take that first step into management, or are already a Data Engineering / Software Development Manager wanting to work somewhere more ambitious (the projects they have lined up might make you drool…if you’re into growth!).

Although not a huge company, they pack a punch for their size, investing in leading technologies (such as Mulesoft) and ensuring their developers have the best tools and kits to deliver amazing outcomes.

You’ll like a role where there’ll be pressure to get things done, but also lots of autonomy, where work-life balance is a real thing and where your boss is a great human being, and someone who will always look out for you.

You’ll be free to work from home with occasional (once a month or so) travel into Warwickshire (your team is mainly UK remote).

On offer is a salary of up to £60 – £75k + 10% bonus, pension and healthcare. And they will look after you once you join – people stick around here!

Director of Software Engineering

Written by Rebel Recruiters on .

Director / Head of Software Engineering

Location:   Remote, with travel into the West Midlands / Warwickshire a couple of times a month or so on average.

Salary:  Up to £90k + 20% bonus, pension and healthcare as well as other perks.

 

One of the UK’s most successful sustainability companies has asked us to help them find a standout Director of Software Engineering as they go through a period of change and gear up for international expansion.

The company are flying high right now, having grown continually over the past decade and now looking at further growth globally into new territories whilst developing new products and services within the sustainability sector.

They have a longstanding team of software engineers, product managers and industry consultants, but having been integrated into a larger group a few years ago, the leadership of the software engineering function has fluctuated as people have moved upwards and onwards.

The company are now ready to hire two dedicated roles –  a Director / Head of Software Engineering (this role) and also a Software Delivery Manager (who will work with you, directly line managing the dev team).

In this Head of Software Engineering role you’ll work with the senior group leadership team, internal product managers and the wider business to grow and maintain the technology that underpins their core services.

They are determined to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to technology and you’ll be leading the teams in building their flexible, scalable, modern platforms.

The role requires a senior software engineering leader who is no longer hands-on but is able to command respect and authority through their insight and track record.  You’ll be supported by a technical software development manager who will manage the engineering team on a day-to-day basis, but you’ll be responsible for engaging suppliers, determining resources, managing budgets and working with the senior leadership team to tie business objectives to technology outcomes.

You’ll have worked in a similar mid-sized (200 person +) company and will have managed the development of high volume/availability data and software platforms, preferably based on the Microsoft stack (.NET, Azure, Microsoft Dynamics CRM etc.).

As an experienced senior manager, you’ll be used to being the voice of software engineering within the business, ensuring cultural, technical and structural alignment.  You’ll be a leader who inspires and brings the best out of your team whilst being able to manage ongoing commercial, security, regulatory and quality/compliance considerations.

The business is known to be somewhere that takes care of its people and gives them a chance to show what they can do and to progress.  They want to build on this culture of low attrition and progression by hiring you, someone who is able to combine building engineering cultures that people love working within whilst still being absolutely determined to hit deadlines and business objectives.

The role will be full-on and challenging, but you’ll be supported by forward-thinking peers and you will have people to lean on whilst you settle in.

The role will be largely based from home with travel into the West Midlands / Warwickshire a couple of times a month or so on average.

On offer is a base salary of up to £90k + 20% bonus, pension and healthcare as well as other perks.

If the role could be of interest please apply for a guaranteed personal reply or call us (Google Rebel Recruiters for the number!) and ask for Mica :)

GreenTech Lead Developer – ReactJS, NodeJS, PostgreSQL, CICD
Location: Fully remote – UK, Kenya (Nairobi), Senegal or Belgium.

Salary: £55K (+12% pension, private healthcare and more)

Are you a senior or lead developer that has the frontend of applications for breakfast and the backend for dinner, but who also enjoys integration that go smack in the middle as a lunchtime snack?

Maybe you have a particular passion for building and implementing bespoke data driven software, while your ABSOLUTE GREATEST desire would be to contribute to our world’s biodiversity protection – picture a knight riding a geospatial horse.

There is a web platform which you’ll take ownership of, enhancing it with new features and scaling up as new partner organisations come onboard. Your efforts will be the principal focus of the organisation: a global database where geospatial and species data is exchanged, all in the name of conservation.

Here is where that desire to contribute to our planet’s wellbeing in a meaningful way comes in, as there is a great need to expand this platform.

This might involve some DevOps and work with cloud systems, contributing to architecture and design of the platform moving forward and leading Agile ceremonies, some resource management, coaching a fullstack developer and assigning tasks, delivery estimations etc.

Knowledge of NodeJS, ReactJS and SQL – in all its forms – will be your trusted companions, while experience with containers, automation, CI/CD pipelines and cloud computing will serve you well.

This platform will be a key development aspect for this global organisation and hundreds of their partners over the next 5 years. This will allow for great learning opportunities with support in training both formal and informal.

Alongside your tech savvy knightly charm, you will ideally be comfy sitting in occasional meetings. You’ll sit on a steering committee once for month for ~1 hour, support colleagues who attend conferences / events so they can help fundraise or find new partners or users to integrate with and advocate for the work you’re contributing to.

So if you fancy yourself as a lady knight, a non-gender specific knight or any kind of other knight in leafy or perhaps scaly armour, please apply, call, or email us to find out more and for a guaranteed, personal reply!

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.
