You will be working within a small organisation, who are looking for its first tester to join the business. As a business they are going from strength to strength, winning numerous awards year-on-year and partnering with some pretty cool companies.

As this is a brand new role, you will be able to take the opportunity to discuss with the developers how testing has previously been done within the business. You will be able to take this knowledge and develop the best practices and procedures that need to be put into place for the test function.
When you first join, all testing will be done on a manual basis, however, this doesn’t have to be the case forever. They are happy to listen to your advice with regard to potential automation in the test team and as the business grows there is the option to grow a team around you. However, if team leadership isn’t your bag it’s not an issue.

Know the saying, “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”? It’s fair to say the fashion industry is talking the talk when it comes to sustainability, but they’re failing miserably in walking the walk.
There’s a literal clothing desert in Chile and billions of discarded items are incinerated each year, often after being worn just once. Crazay.
There’s nothing sheepish about the company we are working with, they are fiercely changing the fashion industry, enabling brands to identify a sustainable pathway for their supply chain, by showing fashion brands insights into their suppliers.
By doing this, businesses can take action and amend their practices to focus their future activity on suppliers taking real steps to cut emissions, improve the sourcing of materials, tackle modern slavery and more.
They are building a platform which grants their clients access to data they otherwise wouldn’t be able to collate or translate into tangible points. Through this platform, they also improve data the companies already have by making it broader and easier to work with.
This is incredibly powerful in achieving buy-in from major brands, helping them establish which factories they should do more work with, and steering away from the environmentally poor ones.
They use data from various sources including publicly available international trade and shipping data, data from certification bodies and public information orgs addressing issues like pollution or modern slavery and they’re always finding additional sources to interrogate and improve the quality of data used.
They have some exciting customers, but now they need to expand. It’s a small team so far, so account management and new customer engagement are limited. So they’re looking for a Marketing Manager or Chief Marketing Officer ” not picky on title ” to get their platform in front of more potential customers and decision-makers.
You’ll work closely with the COO on establishing their business strategy moving forward, putting in plans and goals to work towards in terms of increasing revenue to reach a point of profitability ” which they hope to achieve in the next 12-18 months. So, you’ll essentially become part of the founding team, contributing to their vision and defining their pathway to reach profitability.
This means you’ll help them hire additional people as they grow and increase their impact, feeding back to the CTO and CPO on what customers want and need, and what features or improvements should be prioritised.
They’re open-minded about how you raise their profile and don’t have a marketing strategy they’re settled on, so you’ll have real ownership over whether you engage on socials, targeted email campaigns, business events and conferences or a mix of those and other methods familiar to you.
Want to be a part of the team that shows the fashion sector that sustainable change is doable? Please say hello.
Salary: £80,000 – £130,000 + equity & benefits Location: Fully remote, must be UK based
Is tech leadership your thing? Do you love getting a team of people to glide like a sailing boat on calm waters in a steady breeze?
And do you also care about sorting out the climate crisis, tackling meaty issues like food poverty and waste of” meat, and stuff?
Wellll then read on.
You likely forged your career as a developer working with dev teams of varied sizes ga’thumping interesting and engaging problems, where tech provides a tangible and useful solution.
The real important things for this role are leadership and scale. Have you led teams through big migrations, redesigns or rearchitecting and refactoring platforms and services? Has that software serviced millions of users?
The Mobile and Web app here has more than 6 million global users. They’re looking at problems linked to how their infrastructure and assets can work more efficiently, factoring in geographical and culture differences in user behaviours or digital access and capacity.
Sustainability is the aim of the game, enabling millions and then hundreds of, or even billions of people to live more sustainably and share the food or other items they don’t need, want, or no longer have use for.
Imagine working for a company that is actively changing how the world works, making it easy for us to turn wasteful consumers of excess to community-based action-heroes who are actively building a more sustainable future through the use of technology”
That can’t happen at scale [in a social system with raaaaather significant design flaws] without communities and the individuals within them adapting. This App facilitates all of that and improves social engagement along with a host of other benefits.
This role is hands-off. Tech knowledge is important, but building and maintaining happy and productive teams is important’er… Onboarding folks so they can settle in quickly and improving that process. And the happy part is probably most important. This company treat their people well and want them fresh and motivated to work. They don’t over work people and offer unrivalled flexibility to live and work how you see best.
Want to work from somewhere sunny for ~6 months of the year? That’s fine. They’re fully remote as standard ” always have been, so they’re set up for that structure. Ya just need to pay tax in the UK.
You’ll be leading a mobile team of 6 ” growing to 10 by the time you join as two Senior React Native devs are starting in the coming weeks and a [hands-on] Tech Lead will join soon, too ” including a QA Tester. You will help take ownership of delivering their projects, optimising processes, improving efficiency and skills within the team, and likely add 2-3 more people in 2023.
Their tech centres around Ruby on Rails and React (Native) and they use things like AWS with S3, ECR, ELB, Cloudwatch and also use Docker, Travis CI for their pipelines, lots of google maps integration and Redis, among other things. So any experience with those or similar tools would be cool, but not essential.
You’ll work closely with stakeholders including customers and product managers, other Team Leads and Engineering Managers, the CTO and other leadership to shape the priorities and direction of the platform.
So, fancy using your skills to help one the coolest and most newsworthy sustainability-tech companies in the world, while also advancing your career?
There’s plenty more to talk about, so send over your CV and let’s have a chat.
Know the saying, “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”? What if instead of a wolf there was clothing? And for the sheep, just more piles of clothing?
There’s a literal clothing desert in Chile and billions of discarded items are incinerated each year, on top of most of the items we wear are made from plastic/polyester.
There’s nothing sheepish about the company we are working with, they are fiercely changing the fashion industry, enabling brands to identify a sustainable pathway for their supply chain, through transparency and valuable data insights.
By doing this, businesses improve their own practices and focus their future activity on suppliers taking real steps to cut emissions, improve the sourcing of materials, tackle modern slavery and more.
They are essentially building a platform, which grants their clients access to data that otherwise they wouldn’t be able to collate or translate into actionable points. Through this platform, they also improve data the companies already have by making it broader and easier to work with.
This is incredibly powerful in achieving buy-in from major brands, helping them establish which factories they should do more work with, and which they should either steer away from or increase pressure to change.
They use data from various sources including publicly available international trade and shipping data, data from certification bodies and public information orgs addressing issues like pollution or modern slavery and they’re always finding additional sources to interrogate and improve the quality of data used.
One of the co-founders has been acting as CTO and building their software and data platform with some support from contractors. He’s from a more product-focused background and needs an expert software engineer to take over in terms of technical leadership, making decisions on tooling, infrastructure, scaling up and executing their plans.
The team is small and they’ve just raised money, primarily from one angel investor, with an aim to become self-sustaining in the next 12-18 months, so you’ll essentially become part of the founding team, contributing to their vision and defining their pathway to reach profitability.
This means you’ll help them hire additional people as they grow and increase their impact, enable the scaling of their platform to bring additional customers, grow the number of users and add new functionality in line with customer needs.
Tech-wise they use Python, Django and React. They’re hoping to find someone with good cloud experience, though they’re not picky on which platform you’ve used. And PostgreSQL and good data/pipeline experience would be handy to have, too, as they have lots of data coming in from different places.
If you’re up for tackling intersecting social and environmental issues in a role as a founding member and CTO, this could be the one for you! Feel free to email, call or hit apply!

Blockchain isn’t something traditionally associated with climate impact and making a positive difference. More than a few would argue if anything blockchain or crypto-linked could deliver such an impact.
But there’s an important argument to be made ” in a world riddled with greenwashing ” for the transparency that blockchain can bring to projects and businesses.
It’s an undeniably exciting and fascinating field of work with immense potential.
Here we have a company making it easier for socially and environmentally driven individuals to find work in their desired field. To find jobs, projects and companies delivering the impact they seek.
Their platform enables people to search for projects and job roles, whether permanent, freelance or volunteering and apply. The blockchain element enables them and the business or group to show what is achieved, a completed body of work or outcome, demonstrating their credentials and action, to protect them against the heckles of greenwashing.
In many scenarios, individuals will be paid as normal, but there are also opportunities to earn certain crypto tokens, verified as being mined with renewable energy.
The company are globally dispersed with their base in Japan, but people spread around the world from India to the US, UAE and several in between.
The teams are driven by their passion for social and environmental action and have decades of experience helping refugees, working on renewables projects, tackling injustice and walking a path towards a healthier planet and society.
In terms of skills they’re looking for, experience with smart contracts is a key priority.
Following that, they use Solidity and Haskell. They are hoping to find someone with DevOps and automation experience to help establish an infrastructure that’s scalable on an international level, as they want their platform to benefit companies, NGOs and motivated people around the world, creating communities that can amplify their impacts.
In terms of Infrastructure, they’re using AWS, with some GraphQL and are hoping to integrate algorithms and data structures to make it easier for folks to find work that matches their skills and experience.
They’re tackling problems that so far, have only had local or regional solutions with limited reach. If you’re keen to solve problems that have scaled and growing benefits for our one and only planet and its most prolific species, please hit apply.
Location: Fully remote. If you’d like to meet up with the team, they have a shared working space that you can go to in Nottingham, but there’s no pressure whatsoever to go into an office.
The company I’m recruiting for are a small, young company, founded in November 2020. One of the two co-founders is a massively well-known and respected person in the education industry, and the other comes from a strong fintech background in London’s investment banking scene.
The education specialist co-founder had an idea to create another education venture and his business partner was brought in, and they’ve not looked back since!
They have around 15 people in the company now, with a development team mainly based in Hungary. They want to bring development over to the UK, scale their platform, expand their team, and massively improve their technical estate and processes. They currently have most of their estate written in PHP, with some vue.js on the front end and some of their stuff hosted on AWS.
They want to bring someone into the business, starting with this role, who has really strong software engineering fundamentals- and ideally a background in PHP development, specifically- and AWS Cloud and DevOps skills to augment their deployment and CI/CD pipelines, who understands architecture challenges of software and suggest changes, which can be as radical as you like!
They want to refactor their code, can change the development language and toolset used internally, and want someone who has good experience with a relatively wide range of AWS services so they can start to make much better and wider use of the services they offer!
Finally, they need someone with good communication skills, so they can impart their knowledge, and collaborate well, with the rest of the tech team.
They have a shared working space set up in Nottingham City Centre but this role can be fully remote, depending on your preferences. They have fully embraced remote working and so you’ll not be pressured into attending an office!
If this sounds right up your street, then click apply now to find out more about your next role! Alternatively, if you want to find out more before applying, please get in touch with me directly and I’ll give you as much info as you’d like.

This has to be one of my all-time favourite companies to recruit for; they are so lovely.
A long-standing client of Rebel’s, this company make me happy- they really 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 latter 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 really 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 option 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 and with a smile on your face, then apply now and we can have a more in-depth chat about your new role!

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 for 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).
If you would like to learn more about this role, give me a shout at the contact details provided, or if you’re fully bought in, apply now!
