Job type: Full Time

Director of Cloud Security

Director of Cloud & Security
Salary: €100K+, 13% vacation stipend, equity and more.
Location: Fully remote – Central European time +/- 3

Forest management can be challenging. Cut too much and you’re causing unnecessary damage or increasing the risk of drought, 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 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 nature, time and money. Also avoiding homes, businesses and services experiencing 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 ~65 people now, with around 40 of those in tech, including data science, product and delivery.

So far, their DevOps function is currently managed by one DevOps Engineer. You’ll lead that individual and take ownership of resources, strategy and policy longer term as they scale their services and teams which are highly specialised.

The role will start around 50% hands-on, shifting to ~20% over the next 18 months and the team will grow from one to at least five by the end of 2024.

You may also have some customer engagement if a large / niche customer comes on board with specific security requirements, again you’d handle the strategic approach to those scenarios, including resource management and additional personnel needs.

Appreciating most people don’t have specialisms in both security & DevOps, this role could fit someone from either a security or DevOps background, so long as you have touched on the other discipline to a reasonably high degree, perhaps managing or collaborating closely with DevOps or Security teams and have the knowledge to assess scenarios outside of your strengths and bring in the right consultant or hire, ask the right questions and deliver on business goals

They use Python and Google Cloud Platform but understand AWS or Azure are largely transferrable. Experience with security principles, e.g. NIST, ISO 27001 or SOC2 is essential as you’ll manage external auditors and security partnerships, including with customers’ security teams – at least early days.

Most importantly, they need someone to embed and influence their DevOps & Security culture, someone who’s not afraid to coach individuals and teams and adapt to changing business priorities as they arise, so some kind of startup experience is also going to be key.

Following that, a real passion for climate solutions is something they’ll want to see. They care about their teams. They have budgets to contribute to your training and development and operate truly flexibly – so long as you’re available and overlap with the team (+/- 3 hours CET is best).

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.

GreenTech Technical Delivery Lead

GreenTech Tech Delivery Lead

Location: Fully remote within Europe, +/- 1 hour of CET.
Salary: €70K – €85K + 13% vacation supplement + equity & benefits.

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. 

Technical Implementation Analyst

Role:  Technical Implementation Analyst

Location:  Remote First – but ideally want someone in Nottingham in case they are needed worst case once a week for important meetings

Salary:  Up to £33k per annum

Are you a form king/queen? Is SQL “your bag”? Data flows = dopamine flow? Do you dream of forms? If so, I’ll be honest, I’m a bit concerned, but you’d potentially be good for this role….

Ps. They will consider graduates. I know, I know, it’s their idea, not mine (I swear, I’m joking) 😉

Sector – E-commerce/Online Retail

Angle – The main tech stack you will be using is SQL (for data), JSON (text format for presenting data) & form.io/JotForm (form building tools)

Benefits – Pension scheme, private healthcare (cash plan), quarterly socials & Christmas getaways, holiday purchase scheme, and maternity/paternity benefits scheme.

You’ll be working with a remote-first company in the e-commerce sector to build forms and build data flows for them to catch, sort and understand the data they are gathering.

If you are looking to be in a more data-focused role and get your teeth further into SQL which is an industry standard now for storing data or are a recent graduate (no post-study work visa applicants please, as they don’t have the right licensing), hit apply and we shall speak soon! 😊

Data Scientist

Role:  Data Scientist

Location:  Fully Remote/Remote First (work from home 100% of the time)

Salary:  Around £60-80k, but very flexible, depending on your suitability and amount of relevant experience.

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; if 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 must 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 loves data and technology and the infinitely cool and interesting things that can be done with it!

You’re a technical wizard; with an impeccable foundation in Data Science and Software Engineering.  You not only understand the fundamentals of data engineering, analysis, and science, but you live them, too.

For this role, you’ll need to feel at home in a quick-moving, specialist, data science role, and with the following core skills/ tech:

  • Predictive forecasting
  • GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks)/ Generative AI (artificial intelligence)
  • Neural Networks
  • Data Bricks (Azure)
  • Apache Spark
  • Tensorflow
  • Python

The focus of this role will be for you to be the sole data science specialist in the company. They have some people in the Software Engineering teams who have some familiarity with Data Engineering but nobody who can bring a specialist skill set to the table.

The reason for this role being created is a new retail customer for my client, who would like to massively up their game when it comes to things like stock utilisation, ordering forecasts, stock capacity and planning, using live CCTV feeds to improve customer experience, etc.

My client has a data platform that is written in Python, which would be yours to take ownership of.

In the medium to long term, the progression route for this role is to create a team around you and for you to become the Head of Data for their company, so lots to get excited about!

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!

Scrum Master

Role:  Scrum Master

Location:  Fully Remote

Salary:  Flexible

Businesses can be hectic. With so many different projects constantly on the run, deadlines to be met and standards to be fulfilled, your typical team can turn into a group of headless chickens! However, it only takes one person. One person to come in and maintain the peace. Adding structure. Defining objectives. Delegating responsibility. The middleman (or woman) between peace and chaos. Think you’re that one person?

If so, listen in. I’m working with a software company that excels in supply chain technology. Essentially, they provide food and beverage technology for enterprise companies to help them make smarter, more environmentally sustainable decisions when it comes to things like stock/waste management. They’re at the forefront of green tech and are trusted partners with some of your favourite food companies.

They’re looking for a Scrum Master to come into one of their 5 teams and instil some discipline into badly behaved developers! Not really, but they are looking at reinventing their business structure to optimise how they operate as a team, and this is where you come in.

If you’ve got experience in things like capacity planning and resource allocation, you’re off the mark already. Someone who has good experience working in a fast-paced agile team would be great for this role, but if you’ve got exposure to Waterfall, this is a plus!

I need someone exceptionally organised. If you have OCD, it’d be put to good use here. Someone dynamic in their approach to different teams and sizes, ensuring everyone is working on the right thing and the workforce is staying ahead of schedule, rather than just coasting along. If you’re vocal, can challenge and put forward your own ideas, and have a past record of ensuring the smooth running of teams within a mission-critical environment, step into my office! J

The role is fully remote, and the salary is completely flexible to where you fit in with your experience.

Senior C# Software Engineer

Role:   Senior C# Software Engineer

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 😊

Azure DevOps Engineer

Role:  Azure DevOps Engineer

Location:  Nottingham city centre, 100% remote.

Salary:  £70k

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.

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!

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.

Application Support Engineer – Junior role

Role:  Application Support Engineer (junior role)

Salary:  Up to £28k per annum

Working model:  100% remote in the UK (lovely jubbly)

Angle: Infrastructure support

Tech stack:  Azure + SQL Server

Sector:  Supply Chain Software

I’m going to paint two separate pictures about who would be great for this job and what they can expect from the position.

Maybe you are a recent graduate with relevant academic and placement experience based in digital infrastructure with exposure to Azure and desirably some SQL server and you are ready to jump on the job ladder with a reputable company to start building your career.

On the other hand, you might already be in a role that might not seem that relevant to the job title but in your own time or off your own back you’ve been working on projects in Azure and are passionate about infrastructure and have some great examples that come to mind. The hiring manager isn’t looking for fancy bells and whistles, just a genuinely enthusiastic and analytical self-starter who wants an opportunity to hit the ground running in the infrastructure support space.

You will be given support by the technical services manager you will be working under and when asked what the best things are about this role, he mentioned colleague accessibility despite the working model being remote and career progression/pivoting. Although he is looking for someone to help him with infrastructure support, longer term he is happy to support someone to become an infrastructure engineer/developer or to pivot into other more client-level or project teams.

If you are a graduate or self-starter looking for a chance to officially get into the digital infrastructure space, this is your moment, hit apply!

EPIC Database Analyst

Role:  EPIC Analyst/Database Analyst

Salary:  Up to £26k per annum

Location:  2 days a week in Birmingham or Stratford upon Avon

Tech Stack – PowerQuery + Power BI + Excel

Benefits – Incentive plan (up to 10% bonus paid out most years), 25 days leave including bank holidays, the option to buy/sell up to 10 days leave, private medical insurance, income protection schemes, up to 8% employer contribution pension etc.

I’m going to start by saying that although you may know EPIC as the larger version of user stories BUT in this case EPIC stands for Environmental Program Information Centre. This is the data warehousing system used at the company I am recruiting on behalf of. They are a Green Tech company streamlining waste reduction and regulation compliance to make the world a less wasteful place.

The hiring manager is looking for a creative analytical thinker who loves manipulating and collating reports on data. A natural problem solver who can work off their own back and collaborate in a small team when required is the ideal candidate. Maybe you are a data graduate with a lot of exposure to Excel and data reporting with PowerQuery and PowerBI from projects and placements or maybe you are doing something completely unrelated, but you are working on your own projects in your spare time.

You will be working in a “humorful” EPIC team of 3 to look at smarter ways of manipulating, managing, reporting and acting on internal data systems. If you have any experience with automation data tools or Python you will be seen as top tier but if not no pressure, there’s lots of time to learn! So, what are you waiting for?

Senior Application Support Analyst

Role:  Senior Application Support Analyst ( TSQL/SQL)

Salary:  Up to £45k per annum

Location:  Ideally 2/3 days in Coventry (negotiable for the right person)

Sector:  Scientific

Tech stack: SQL/TSQL + C#/Python

Are you an application support analyst or senior application support analyst looking for your next step up and your current company simply won’t give you a chance? Well, their loss.

I’m headhunting on behalf of a scientific services provider near Coventry looking for someone to come in and look after a small service desk team (2nd/3rd line) in a hands-on role. You’ll be running queries in SQL to do data extractions, mentor the team and make system-change proposals to streamline the applications you are supporting. If you have used PowerShell before, they will want to marry you but no issues if not.

This role would be perfect for someone looking to get some management experience while still being hands-on. It would also be a great opportunity to get into SciTech and hone your data skills. Since the DevOps, IT and support teams all work collaboratively there will be continual opportunities to get involved in a wide range of projects and potentially pivot or progress if career progression is one of your priorities.

In an ideal scenario, you have done software or data-focused application support for a couple of years mentoring or coaching colleagues, maybe even looking after your own team but you are now wanting to hone your data skills further.

QA Engineer

Role:  QA Engineer/Automation Tester

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

Salary:  Up to £40 – £55k per annum

Are you a senior automation tester or QA engineer? Or, are you a senior tester who has been branching off to do more automation and now you’d like a chance to specialize in automation? C# is your language of choice? Can you use Selenium/SpecFlow with your eyes closed? Is creating frameworks from scratch a breeze? Now we’re talking.

Sector – SaaS for the utility sector

Angle – Based in C# and need someone to help steer the wider team into being more automation focused.

Benefits – I’m feeling a bit jealous (33 days holiday + bank holidays, 5% pension with salary sacrifice options for more, buy and sell options for holiday, flexible working, £26 home working allowance, death in service 3x basic salary, includes 50% of gym membership with Virgin, discounted apple watches, free weekly coffee from Nero, free bimonthly cinema tickets, free online video with Rakuten, discounted train and local commuting tickets if you decide to go into Nottingham office.

You’ll be working with a company in the energy sector to help automate both legacy and new products. As you can imagine, this organization is looking to attract a new senior QA/automation tester into the testing department to help move the company in the direction of everything running like clockwork.

Finding good automation testers/QA’s is like finding a needle in a haystack so if you are reading this and this is you, hit apply and I look forward to speaking!
