Director of Cloud Security

Director of Cloud & Security
Salary: €100K+, 13% vacation stipend, equity and more.
Location: Fully remote – Central European time +/- 3

Forest management can be challenging. Cut too much and you’re causing unnecessary damage or increasing the risk of drought, too little and the risk of wildfire or damage to infrastructure can be devastating and costly.

Vegetation management may not sound all that exciting but building earth observation software to integrate satellite imagery with geospatial analysis and Machine Learning with data coming in from teams, remote sensors and other hardware on the ground presents interesting challenges!

These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving nature, time and money. Also avoiding homes, businesses and services experiencing blackouts caused by seasonal and extreme weather events. It’s a game changer in energy and climate resilience.

The company have grown rapidly since the end of 2021. There are ~65 people now, with around 40 of those in tech, including data science, product and delivery.

So far, their DevOps function is currently managed by one DevOps Engineer. You’ll lead that individual and take ownership of resources, strategy and policy longer term as they scale their services and teams which are highly specialised.

The role will start around 50% hands-on, shifting to ~20% over the next 18 months and the team will grow from one to at least five by the end of 2024.

You may also have some customer engagement if a large / niche customer comes on board with specific security requirements, again you’d handle the strategic approach to those scenarios, including resource management and additional personnel needs.

Appreciating most people don’t have specialisms in both security & DevOps, this role could fit someone from either a security or DevOps background, so long as you have touched on the other discipline to a reasonably high degree, perhaps managing or collaborating closely with DevOps or Security teams and have the knowledge to assess scenarios outside of your strengths and bring in the right consultant or hire, ask the right questions and deliver on business goals

They use Python and Google Cloud Platform but understand AWS or Azure are largely transferrable. Experience with security principles, e.g. NIST, ISO 27001 or SOC2 is essential as you’ll manage external auditors and security partnerships, including with customers’ security teams – at least early days.

Most importantly, they need someone to embed and influence their DevOps & Security culture, someone who’s not afraid to coach individuals and teams and adapt to changing business priorities as they arise, so some kind of startup experience is also going to be key.

Following that, a real passion for climate solutions is something they’ll want to see. They care about their teams. They have budgets to contribute to your training and development and operate truly flexibly – so long as you’re available and overlap with the team (+/- 3 hours CET is best).

If this sounds like a bit of you please reach out. They’re remote first and will consider people anywhere in Europe. They can also provide visa sponsorship via a Netherlands government salary sacrifice scheme if you’d prefer to move to the Netherlands.

Salary:  Up to £425/ day

The work will be a mix of greenfield, bug fixing, maintenance, etc. so a real variety to get stuck into!

Scrum Master

Role:  Scrum Master

Location:  Fully Remote

Salary:  Flexible

Businesses can be hectic. With so many different projects constantly on the run, deadlines to be met and standards to be fulfilled, your typical team can turn into a group of headless chickens! However, it only takes one person. One person to come in and maintain the peace. Adding structure. Defining objectives. Delegating responsibility. The middleman (or woman) between peace and chaos. Think you’re that one person?

If so, listen in. I’m working with a software company that excels in supply chain technology. Essentially, they provide food and beverage technology for enterprise companies to help them make smarter, more environmentally sustainable decisions when it comes to things like stock/waste management. They’re at the forefront of green tech and are trusted partners with some of your favourite food companies.

They’re looking for a Scrum Master to come into one of their 5 teams and instil some discipline into badly behaved developers! Not really, but they are looking at reinventing their business structure to optimise how they operate as a team, and this is where you come in.

If you’ve got experience in things like capacity planning and resource allocation, you’re off the mark already. Someone who has good experience working in a fast-paced agile team would be great for this role, but if you’ve got exposure to Waterfall, this is a plus!

I need someone exceptionally organised. If you have OCD, it’d be put to good use here. Someone dynamic in their approach to different teams and sizes, ensuring everyone is working on the right thing and the workforce is staying ahead of schedule, rather than just coasting along. If you’re vocal, can challenge and put forward your own ideas, and have a past record of ensuring the smooth running of teams within a mission-critical environment, step into my office! J

The role is fully remote, and the salary is completely flexible to where you fit in with your experience.

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.

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.

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!

Backend Web Developer – PHP

Role:  Backend Web Developer – PHP

Salary:  Up to £45K

Location:  3 days in the Nottingham office

Want to work in a creative yet professional environment? If you enjoy working on innovative, unique designs and want to work with a dynamic team within an aesthetically brilliant office, then keep reading! What do I mean by a brilliant office? I’ve visited the office and can say with confidence that it’s the best office that I’ve visited! With a games room that includes multiple arcades and a pool table, a relaxation room with egg swing chairs and tranquil music, a wide variety of snacks and drinks (including freshly grounded coffee) to keep you going throughout the day and finally immaculate décor and a warm environment. If the job doesn’t pull you in, the office will!

The company is a software house that initially set out on its journey over 3 decades ago. Since then, they’ve established themselves as world class, 5 star reviewed application specialists with a renowned name within the illustration & design sector! They’ve defined the measures of hard work and determination over a long haul of tireless efforts, and they’ve finally got to a place where they can look back at their success. But they’re not done just yet, and this is where you come in.

I’m looking for a backend web developer who has a great understanding of plain OOP PHP (PHP7) and can develop new applications based on real world design patterns and principles. Understanding frameworks with a practical grasp of their pros and cons is key in what we’re looking for. Any experience in AWS would also help. If not, they will provide you with all the necessary training. This is a junior to midlevel role, so you should be comfortable enough to come in and hit the ground running! If you’re someone who always works to their highest standards, then you could be a great fit for this position.

The benefits package comes with the following:

  • 27-day holidays + bank holidays

If you’re interested in this position, please get in touch and send over your CV 🙂

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!

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.

Senior Developer

Role: Senior Developer (C# .Net Core)

Location: Fully remote (1/ fortnight in the office for team meetings)

Salary: up to £57k depending on 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 Developer.

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.

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 on the contact details provided, or if you’re fully bought in, apply now!

Principal Software Developer – Core Assessment Engine

Role:  Principal Software Developer – Core Assessment Engine

Salary:  £70-80k plus benefits

Location: Birmingham office, flexible working hours and location. You can come into the office as much or as little as you like. The average, I would say, is 1 / month

Do you want to work in a company that is big enough to have well-established career paths, small enough to know that all your work makes a real, material difference, and prides itself on not only some of the best tech talent around but a culture to match?

If not, why not?!

I love recruiting for this company, and I’m sure you’ll love working there.

I am looking for a Principal Software Developer to join a team of 5 highly proficient, friendly people, consisting of; a team leader, 2 senior devs, mid-level dev, and a QA.

As an experienced and highly capable Software Developer, well-versed in modern software development best practice, cloud services, architecture, and high-quality solutions, this role will see you providing both hands-on software development yourself and technical leadership for the team you’re in, which looks after 6 software products, 2 of which are larger and more notable than the others.

You will be a democratic, force for good within the team; knowing when to take the initiative to instruct and when to listen and encourage those around you. You will make key decisions around a number of areas, including software architecture, technology choices and solution design, all with the knowledge in mind that achieving software excellence is a group activity, and all ideas are welcomed, from everyone. Successful outcomes are something to be shared and for everyone to be proud of and contribute to.

Tech-wise, you will be especially capable with the following; .NET Framework, MVC, Knockout.js, Azure DevOps, Azure, etc.

This role would be perfect for you if you’re the kind of person who has a very curious mindset, and someone who can’t help but want to improve an application/ feature/ bit of code that isn’t optimal!

They are starting the process of rejuvenating the applications you’re looking after to bring them in line with the rest of the bleeding-edge tech apps elsewhere in the company (written in .Net 6, Angular, Azure, TypeScript, etc) before they become legacy.

You will be taking the technical decisions to make this happen, so things like ‘which TypeScript framework would work best for what we’re trying to achieve?’ and ‘Which is the best tool for the job here?’ are what you will think about and take action on.

You will have no direct reports but will be a hands-on, Senior member of the team, supporting and working closely alongside the Team Leader.

If this sounds like a great time to you, apply now, or if you want to ask some questions to learn more, drop me a line and let’s talk!
