GreenTech Systems Architect

GreenTech Systems Architect

**  WORKING VISA AVAILABLE  **

Industry: Nature / Biodiversity Conservation
Location: Cambridge – 2 days per MONTH
Salary: £40,000 – £50,000 + 12% pension and life insurance.

Global efforts and commitments to protecting nature are increasing, from the 30 by 30 initiative laid out at Biodiversity COP15, to government consortiums implementing strategies.

How are we going to deliver on the promises and commitments made?

A global conservation organisation is looking for a Systems Architect, to continue the evolution of their data services and capabilities, looking to offer deeper insights and predictive modelling that their science teams can utilise to provide greater depth on their biodiversity reporting. 

Their tech team has doubled in size over the last 2 years and they can offer excellent training and learning opportunities with lots of support with resources, online courses, textbooks, and conference tickets – you name it!

They’d also love someone who can mentor the senior team members, so they feel their skills are advancing. Giving them the confidence to take on more without becoming overburdened.

Data is a huge part of what they do. They manage a number of critical databases that are ever-growing, fed by research teams and partner organisations across the planet. They’re seeing growth in interest for everything they deliver.

So, experience designing databases and data pipelines, along with a deep understanding of integrating 3rd party data and APIs from multiple sources into the backend of complex systems would be great, as they collaborate heavily with entities worldwide, including governments.

You might be an engineering manager or technical architect, a senior dev or tester that happens to have a broader understanding than just your discipline and wants a green-tech challenge.

You don’t need to have done everything, for example, they have people with a firm grasp of cloud technologies and DevOps, but an understanding of those and security will enable you to settle in quicker.

You’ll have time and support while settling in but will quickly be working on complex problems, while hopefully showing others how to handle critical technical tasks and raising the level of the people around you.

They need more advanced data services and data science, to offer insights and provide historical context, not just a snapshot of a given situation. And all current data needs to be safely ported across to the new solution, it’ll be hosted in the cloud and integrated into dozens of partners’ systems.

Your specific background isn’t the critical thing, but coming from an environmental sciences or conservation background would help.

They’re open-minded but use a lot of Ruby on Rails, GIS and Geospatial technology and are increasingly using Python and Azure, building data pipelines and APIs.  So, if applying tech to improve biodiversity and *quite literally* save our planet sounds like your bag. Hit apply or say hello.

C# Developer

Role: C# .Net Core Developer with Angular and AWS

Location: Office is based in Sandiacre, Nottinghamshire, hybrid working with 2-3 days per week in the office.

Salary: Up to £60k

C# and ASP.Net (Core) are where you live.

You’re comfortable there; you got your foundations right at the start with good development practices, and have since built a strong and secure career by learning about handy tools such as dependency injection, microservices, containerisation, etc.

You use cloud hosting like AWS to reduce your overheads and improve efficiencies.

For those mundane, repeatable tasks, you use design patterns, to make sure you do the same thing in the same way, every time, so your house doesn’t fall down due to shoddy, unpredictable work.

Whilst you use modern tech, practices, and techniques, you have been in the development game for long enough to be able to read, understand, and convert an older codebase (.Net 4, MVC, etc) to a new, shiny version (.Net Core, CosmosDB, AWS etc) seamlessly. You know what the newer stuff does best, and ways to incorporate that in the rewrite.

Finally, you’re great at understanding what your users want out of your solution because you’ve got great communication skills and ask the RIGHT questions! Doesn’t matter if they’re internal or external- you are good with people.

Now, you need a new role to put all this knowledge and experience to great use, which – if you hadn’t guessed already – is where this role comes in.

If the above describes you, this is the role for you.

The company is small and nimble; they can make development choices quickly and efficiently, everyone knows each other well, and are intelligent people that like to have a laugh along the way!

They are quite a young company, so even its legacy code isn’t very old. They make a point of leveraging the best tech out there to make sure their products are the best they can be well-written, functional, and reliable.

They have a flagship product and an additional one; this role will initially be seeing your work on the additional one; liaising with internal stakeholders (the product’s current users) to do a revamp of the codebase to bring it up to the latest iteration of .Net Core 6, improve its functionality, and to use a more appropriate database. You will then most likely work on the flagship product, which uses .Net Core 4/5, AWS, Microservices, Docker, etc.

If this sounds right up your street, apply now or drop me a line to find out more about your new role!

Aviation Digital Product Manager

Role: Aviation Digital Product Manager

Location: Fully Remote

Salary: £50k to £60k per annum

Aviation! Aviation! Aviation! Product Managers! Right, do I have your attention?

What do

Aviation! Aviation! Aviation! Product Managers! Right, do I have your attention?

What do big, polluting aeroplanes and saving the planet have in common?  Not much I hear you say, and I wouldn’t blame you…but you’re wrong.  There is one organisation that is taking Green-Tech to the skies!

I am hunting for a digital product manager with experience in the aviation sector to move into an ESG-based software solutions company aimed at changing the behaviour of pilots to make more sustainable choices. Now let me give you a few more pointers….

Sector: Aviation/data-centric products (experience in this sector is ESSENTIAL)

Company size: Small (less than 30)

Angle: Software aimed at changing the behaviour of pilots to make more sustainable decisions around flying.

Working model: 100% remote

This company is looking for their first dedicated product manager to answer directly to the VP of product to analyse the market and competitors to come up with brand new features and identify gaps in sustainable aviation software offerings to create new products in the future.

Since this will be their first product manager, if you are currently stuck in a rut and want more product oversight, this is a role you could seriously get your teeth into.

A lot of the role will be looking at user feedback from pilots to make future offerings more competitive and user-friendly. If you have a personal passion for ESG/sustainability, you will literally be making a direct impact on managing the development of software products aimed at lowering pollution through digitally altering pilot behaviour.

If this sounds of interest, hit apply and we shall hopefully speak soon!

IT Service Manager

Role: IT Manager

Location: Warwickshire – but free to work from home 3 – 4 days a week

Salary: Up to £55k

You’re the person that the support team look to for leadership. The one who, when a deadline needs to be hit, comes 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.

You will have managed highly skilled, but sometimes demanding characters before and won their respect through your capability and people skills. You are calm, in control and someone who inspires confidence and trust.

You will be joining 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 will be stepping into this role with a blank slate as this is a brand new role. You will be taking responsibility for developing, maintaining and implementing IT policies and procedures which help align with the company’s overall strategy and goals in line with frameworks.

Service delivery is an area that is a crucial part of this role as you will be responsible for ensuring the IT department meets its internal service level agreements and is able to deliver these services through the organisation.

Automation of processes is important and where they are looking to move towards, so if you have exposure to PowerShell that would be advantageous. You will be getting involved with other areas of the business as you will be supporting the development team with the delivery of the software development and road maps.

You’ll be free to work from home 3 or 4 days a week but it’s important that your team can learn from you in the office in Warwickshire as well.
