This message will not self-destruct, but if you’re up for the challenge, apply now!
We welcome diverse applicants and are dedicated to treating all applicants with dignity and respect regardless of background.
Location: Nottinghamshire office. Hybrid working, ranging from twice per week up to once per month, depending on your preferences.
Salary: Around £80k, there is wiggle room for the right candidate.
Do you love puzzles and seeing things fit together seamlessly? Have you been a Solutions Architect in an Architecture team and feel it’s about time you get yourself a new puzzle to solve? Are you nodding along as you’re reading this? Read on, my friend!
I am working with a lovely little company looking to expand its Architecture team’s capabilities by bringing you on board.
They are part of a bigger group of international companies that operate in the fabrication industry. To have a great time in this role, you’ll be someone who has a stellar background in Microsoft web development with C#, .Net, SQL Server, and AWS. Not only that but, here is the crucial part, you’ll be a great communicator too.
Now, I know that ‘great communicator’ is a term that’s banded around so much that it loses its meaning, but in this case, I mean it. You’ll be talking with lots of different people, from external senior stakeholders, internal stakeholders, your architecture team, product people and devs.
There is a lot of orchestrating, both technically – and naturally, it’s what you do! – and with the company and wider group.
Part of being a great communicator is the ability to be open-minded and respectful of different opinions when discussing solutions or other hot topics with others, and to be able to admit when you’re wrong, or someone else’s idea might fit the bill better. No big egos here, please!
Please note that I will only be able to consider you if you’ve experienced as a Solutions Architect and have worked in a dedicated architecture team before. If you’re a technical architect looking for a step up into the next level of architecture, this role is not for you as this is essentially a role that their tech leads have covered.
This is a fab role that will see you influence their solutions architecture, improve their technical roadmap, and generally have a lot of say in how things are done. It’s a small team/ company so all the work you do will be seen and matter, but it comes with the security of being part of a larger group of companies.
There is also the opportunity to travel internationally with work too, which is always fun!
If you like the sound of this role, then either apply now for immediate consideration or drop me a line to find out more!

Conservation Tech Lead – Ruby on Rails & JavaScript
Location: Cambridge, hybrid – 2 days per month on-site
Salary: Up to £70K + 12% pension
Biodiversity is finally raising the agenda globally, following various agreements made at BioCOP15 in Canada in late 2022.
Monitoring and reporting financial disclosures and their impacts on nature will be compulsory for many large companies from early 2024, particularly those extracting resources, developing land or providing finance.
Working for a conservation partnership of 4 organisations this role will be working on a geospatial mapping tool which tracks biodiversity over land and oceans. The usership has doubled in the last 18 months with no signs of slowing. The platform is also used by conservation partners and governments to allow for more robust decision-making and policy creation.
You’ll work predominantly with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript to build new features, taking some ownership of design and architecture as you grow into the position and learn how your team work best. They use PostgreSQL and have lots of APIs which require maintenance.
Interestingly, you’ll have the best of several worlds in this role, being employed by a charity with a large broader tech team and a strong support network, events and workshops for upskilling and a wonderful culture, while being embedded in a specific product team.
You’ll manage around 4 people, though this will likely grow to ~7 in the next year. You’ll take ultimate responsibility for the platform, including touching on things like security, testing, documentation and coaching your team, though there are colleagues across the partnership who can support in areas outside of your skillset, e.g., security.
As the tool is geospatial / mapping focused, any experience using or building GIS tools will be hugely beneficial. Knowledge of conservation, rewilding, ecology, biodiversity, or any field within environmental science will also stand out, as will a demonstrable passion for tackling the climate crisis.
The team needs a leader with experience, someone who can manage resources, assess future priorities and requirements, identify gaps within the team skills matrix and maintain calm when deadlines are looming. This platform is the authoritative tool in the sector globally, and the aim is to maintain that prestige and impact.
So, if you’re serious about saving our planet and turning the tide against the fight to fix our climate crisis, this is a role you should apply for.
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.
Location: Fully remote (1/ fortnight in the office for team meetings)
Salary: Up to £65k depending on the level of experience
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 Network Architect.
They’ll be good to 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.
Their infrastructure team have a passion for networking and is looking for someone who can add to this and influence the design and development of their network estate, providing you with the opportunity to expand your skills in a variety of areas.
This is a 50/50 split from being hands-on to taking responsibility for the architecture and design of the infrastructure. Experience with Ansible, Puppet or Chef is an advantage. They are huge advocates of automation both through configuration management and IAAC. You will have the passion to automate and to take part in this journey with them.
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 the infrastructure engineers, platform engineers, database administrators and software engineers 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).

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.
