Job type: Full Time

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. 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!

YOU NEED TO HAVE BEEN IN THE UK FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS

Listen up my wonderful junior support people! It’s a proper bummer trying to find solid support roles in the current job market, no?

Software Tester

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

Yours in anticipation,

Yas – Your friendly neighbourhood Rebel Recruiter✊

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!

Ruby on Rails Developer – Biodiversity Systems

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

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!
