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!

2x Senior C# Developer

Role: 2x Senior C# Developer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SAP Master Data Controller

Role:  SAP Master Data Controller

Salary:  £30k to £40k per annum

Working model:  2/3 days a week in Nottingham

Sector – Retail/Supply Chain

Benefits summary – Healthcare/cash-plan lifestyle package, free parking (I’m joking this isn’t a perk but they do have free parking), excellent working environment (cool office).

SAP and Master Data.  That’s what you do.

You’ll be working for a well-established brand in the retail sector as a subject matter expert in the SAP space. You will be reporting directly to the SAP Portfolio Manager so if you are looking to develop your skills and experience in the SAP space, you’ll be a great company.

I know nearly every single job advert you see says “must have good communication skills” which seems a little bit obvious but in this particular role since you will be liaising across departments, working alongside internal stakeholders, and working to tight SLAs at times, they need a people person who enjoys keeping everyone informed who can keep a level head when there are supply chain difficulties.

This company would love to speak to relevant candidates with a bit of logistics or supply chain experience but if you don’t necessarily have this but you have great SAP and Master Data exposure (even if your current role isn’t necessarily called a SAP Master Data controller / Analyst) hit apply to find out more.

Business Analyst

Role:  Business Analyst
Location:  Nottingham, hybrid working – 2 days per week in the office.

Package:  Up to 55k

Are you analytically minded, have a passion for user stories and are looking to work on a product that you can be passionate about? If so, please read on…

Who will you be working with? Well, they are the relatively new kids on the block! As a business, they deliver fresh and innovative cloud-based solutions to the construction and manufacturing sectors.

This is a brand-new role, so there is an opportunity for you to put your stamp on things. You will be able to add value from day one, sharing your wealth of experience with the business. One thing that is important, is the ability to work in an agile environment.

You will perform detailed business and process/systems analysis, and document functional and non-functional requirements in the form of user stories in Jira/Confluence, so you must have worked with this software previously.

If you are a shrinking violet, this isn’t the role for you as you will be dealing with a variety of people across the team from developers to the scrum master to ensure the team understand underlying requirements to ensure business requirements are met. Collaboration is key, as you will be joining a small team and self-motivation is a must.

If you have worked with software before this will be an advantage, however, it is a nice to have and if you have experience within other fields, they will still consider you, so don’t let this put you off. You will have a passion for complex problem solving and you will have the ability to learn new skills quicker than you can say, business analyst!!!

As the head office is based outside of the UK, you will be required to travel overseas once every 8 weeks! So if travel isn’t your thing, this may not be the role for you.

If you’d like to find out more, drop me a line, give me a call or hit the apply button!

Head of Software Development

Role:  Head of Development

Salary:  £75-85k + equity and bonus

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

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

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

Some are pure ponies.

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

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

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

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

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

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

For this role you will need:

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

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

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

Location: 3 days a week in Nottingham HQ 

Salary:  Up to £32k per annum 

YOU NEED TO HAVE BEEN IN THE UK FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR THE REQUIRED SECURITY CLEARANCE  

Listen up my beautiful junior data people! It’s a proper bummer trying to find solid data roles in the current job market, no? Companies want you to be able to use SQL, Python, Oracle, blah blah whilst juggling with one hand and typing with the other. No more  nonsense. 

Sector – SaaS for the public sector/ various agencies (mYstEriOus) 

Angle – Listen, they just need someone who’s used SQL for maybe 2ish years. If you can do joins, reading the data scripts and tweaking scripts where relevant, fantastic, sorted! 

Benefits – The main one is the bonus which is based on individuals and company performance. 

You’ll be working in a team of 4 solving support tickets as they come in so someone who has supported software applications is ideal. 

The support manager has automated all the macros work so your days of copying and pasting macros are well and truly over. 

He has said that he likes the team to have fun, get the work done and come up with ways to make support more efficient for clients.  You’ll have fun working here, with opportunities to progress and learn to boot – what’s not to love?
