Biodiversity is a buzzword right now.
The tide is turning in terms of policy, public attention and commitment but most importantly, in terms of funding. The 30 by 30 target and commitments coming out of BioCOP15 are leading to real growth in our capability to protect, repair and enhance nature.
This role will sit within a team of ~30 techies, UIUX designers, product and project managers, developers, architects and more who deliver tools and technologies for the future of nature conservation.
Building roads, mines, railways and other infrastructure will always impact biodiversity and for the most part, the UK has high standards here.
That’s not the case for every country in the world.
Governments are scrambling to understand how valuable nature is and how their infrastructure and economic plans impact our planet. Questioning whether a forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig or palm oil plantation? How do you even track that?
Cue this organisation, the only one of their kind in the world. They build tools and offer services and support to conservation partners, companies and governments worldwide to better plan for enhancing and protecting nature.
Tech-wise, there’s lots to play with; Ruby on Rails, Javascript and Python, along with lots of SQL, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, GIS systems and more as they manage critical databases to leverage insights to support all kinds of conservation projects.
You’ll be managing and supporting their web services and tools, monitoring infrastructure using things like Nagios or ELK stack, and managing databases using PostgreSQL in particular. Any experience automating and using Terraform, Ansible or similar tools and deploying software, using CICD pipelines is great and experience in testing and TDD is always beneficial!
They’re happy to let your passions lead in what you learn and how you progress, DevOps incorporates lots of skillsets, and whether DevOps is your dream or whether your goals change in future you’ll be well supported as you progress.
You’ll use both AWS and Azure and help partners integrate their data into the software you build, you might build a climate risk assessment tool and then hand that over to a partner for further development. Or you could be writing scripts to automate reporting to scientific or policy teams. Or you may need to patch a fix temporarily while a dedicated team work on a long-term solution.
Your work here will accelerate the positive impacts and solutions available to wider organisations benefiting our environment. A lot of these benefits are tangible economic and social wins that in the longer term will reduce our dependency on problematic resources such as fossil fuels.
So, if you’re serious about saving our planet and turning the tide against the fight to fix our climate crisis, this is definitely a role you should apply for.
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 practices, 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; C#, Typescript, SQL, .NET, Angular, and a range of Azure platform-as-a-service components.
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!
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!
Location: Birmingham office, with anything from fully office-based through to 1/ quarter office visits being offered as working arrangements, whatever suits you best!
The saying goes that nobody leaves a bad job, they leave a bad manager.
This could account for why the dev attrition rate at this company is so low; the Development Manager is awesome!
Caring, understanding, and technically astute, the Development Manager is a really lovely chap who has hired, and is continuing to hire, fabulous people for his teams. They have a professional, inclusive, and laid-back attitude in their ranks.
The company I’m recruiting for is a medium-sized business with a well-established tech team, who are great at what they do. They have been around for almost 20 years, have a very strong base of customers and have offices around the world.
They have a number of products on offer here and split their teams up accordingly. Most of the developers are full stack, using C#, .Net 6, JavaScript/ TypeScript, Angular and Azure.
One of their flagship products is slightly older than the rest and uses C# .Net Framework, Knockout.js, JavaScript, etc.
Finally, one of their teams focuses on backend development and integration, using minimal front-end skills.
There is something for everyone!
They are big believers in training and upskilling here, so you’ll get time and space to make sure your skills are at their best!
They have embraced remote working, so whatever arrangement you need to work at your best is good for them, too!
If you want to use our skills in a supportive environment, using great tech, with excellent colleagues and interesting work, then this is the place for you.
Isn’t food awesome? Chicken teriyaki, jacket potato and beans ” with or without cheese? East or South Asian curry ” vegan, veggie or meaty? Fish and chips.
It’s all good stuff. But did you know – 40% of all food grown, never gets eaten by a human? Mental.
We could feed a few folks with that, I reckon. The more you look into it, the more you realise that food waste is a massive problem. It emits methane too! Bugger.
Thankfully, it’s not all doom and gloom.
Over 81% of us would be happy to accept food from a neighbour or someone in their community. There’s a company getting more people ” and businesses too! to do exactly that.
They’re working with businesses and suppliers across the food and beverage supply chain, around the world, to operate more sustainably and divert unsold or unwanted food into the bellies of the folks that need and want it.
They’ve grown organically over the last 8 years, and have over 6 million users with 65,000 volunteers. That’s 6 million people doing their bit to remove food waste from the equation, and they can do it all with a few clicks, taps and snaps!
They’ve got big plans, new features and integrations in the works that’ll make it easier for users to share and collect, right now the tech team sits around 25 people, across dev and test.
In 6 months or so that’ll grow to about 32. That’s where you come in!
They’re a friendly bunch and as you can imagine everyone in the team is passionate about sustainability. If you’re someone that really cares about this stuff, you’ll be right at home, literally ” they’re a remote-first company.
If you’ve been a dev for ~4 years and maybe one or two of that have been with Ruby on Rails, boom! If you enjoy peer programming and are comfortable with testing using tools like Rspec or Capybara and want to solve tricky problems, sweet!
They use things like AWS with S3, ECR, ELB, and Cloudwatch and also use Docker, Travis CI for their CICD, lots of google maps integration and Redis, among other things. Any experience with those or similar tools will help. Most importantly, they’ll want to hear where you see yourself in the bigger picture of climate action.
If you fancy building something that could change behaviours around food waste for good, helping millions of people along the way, well. You know what to do.
[It’s hit APPLY, you should really, really think about hitting APPLY].
Role: Full Stack TypeScript & Python Software Engineer
Salary: up to £70k
Location: Fully remote/ remote first. They have no office!
Would you like to use your tech skills to help reduce the damaging impact of transportation on the climate crisis?
Then this role and company might just well be what you’ve been looking for!
I am looking for a Full Stack Software Engineer, with a specialism in Python and TypeScript (Node) and web development.
You will be going into a small, but growing, company and team; there are 2 developers there currently and around 10-15 people in the company as a whole. They are a talented and caring bunch of people from diverse backgrounds, who love what they do and believe strongly in the company’s mission.
Data IS the company’s product. They use it to augment behaviours within the transportation sector to reduce fuel costs and usage; helping the companies they work with to save money and, most importantly, to have a significant, positive impact on the environment.
Due to the nature of the business, having a strong passion for data would be a major advantage! SQL skills around data modelling, CRUD ops, etc would be beneficial.
As they are a start-up, they have virtually no tech debt, all their projects are greenfield; making this a veritable utopia for developers! They always endeavour to improve a system before building new features on it; something that I’ve not seen many other companies do. And that speaks volumes about their general approach to their tech – sustainability, efficiency, and scalability are paramount.
To give you an idea of what you can expect to be doing in this role; you will, amongst other things, be tasked with the Design, build, and maintenance of multiple parts of the product, including; their customer-facing web app, backend systems, databases, microservices, third-party APIs, and servers in the cloud.
It would be really useful if you’ve worked in a cloud environment previously, with DevOps processes in place; taking part in interacting with the cloud, using CI/ CD pipelines for deployment through to production. It doesn’t matter which cloud you’ve used before- GCP/ Azure or AWS, but they use AWS, so this would be the most pertinent for this role.
They like to have good debates and technical conversations around best practices and how they can continuously improve how they do things, so if you’re the type of person to have strong views on these kinds of things- with enough humility to have your mind changed, and accept where other peoples’ ideas might be a better solution for the problem at hand- then you’ll fit right in!
They all work entirely remotely and don’t have an office, so you’ll need to be happy and able to comfortably work from home. They do like to socialise though! So in-person meetup suggestions- perhaps in a hot desk environment or a meeting for a coffee, would be welcomed.
If this sounds right up your street, then please get in touch to find out more, or apply today!

Biodiversity is a buzzword right now. The destruction of nature and loss of biodiversity is amplifying other crises.

Yes, it’s finance and trade and market analytics. Yet, in the current climate, there is much that a company can do to commit to positive change and this company you’d consider joining is doing just that.
Not only are they carbon neutral certified, but they have also implemented a transparent pledge, in accordance with the UN Climate Change “Race to Zero” guidelines, to halve their carbon emissions by 2030 and work towards net zero by 2040.

GreenTech DevOps Engineer Salary: €75,000 – €90,000 + 15% bonus, equity + remote setup, conference and training budgets. Location: Fully remote – Europe or UK based.
Forest management can be challenging. Cut too much and you’re causing unnecessary damage, 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 and Machine Learning with data coming in from the team and remote sensors and other hardware on the ground presents interesting challenges!
These systems are used to efficiently manage resources and team activities, saving time and money.
Most importantly though, this saves homes, businesses and services from 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 ~50 people now, with around 20 of those in development and data science.
So far, their DevOps function has been managed by the CTO and a part-time engineer. They’re looking for someone who can implement Infrastructure as Code and a longer-term DevOps strategy factoring in security and leading on gaining security certifications.
You’ll work to support the development team and have responsibility for reliability. They haven’t had any major issues so far, but if one came up, they’d need you to identify and understand the problem and get to work on implementing a fix.
You’ll also support the data team, perhaps helping implement machine learning models or refining data pipelines, so good data pipeline experience is highly desirable.
They use Google Cloud Platform but understand AWS is largely transferrable, alongside Docker, Kubernetes and Dagster. But experience with Argo, Airflow, Dask or others is transferrable.
If you’ve worked with satellite data or imagery, that’s hugely valuable, and Pangeo stack, so JupyterHub, Xarrat or Zarr will also stand out.
Most importantly they need someone to embed and influence their DevOps culture, someone who’s not afraid to coach individuals and teams.
You don’t need to know everything but a self-starter who knows where to look for information and who is keen to implement and share what they learn is what’s needed.
Following that, a real passion for climate solutions is something they’ll need to see.
They care about their staff. 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 (+/- 1 hour CET is best) you can work when you chose.
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.
Blockchain isn’t something traditionally associated with climate impact and making a positive difference. More than a few would argue that anything blockchain linked could deliver a positive environmental or social impact.
But there’s an important argument to be made – in regard to greenwashing – for the transparency that blockchain can bring to the table.
It’s an undeniably exciting and interesting field of work with immense potential. Some see it as the next coming of the internet, Web 3.0 – ‘oooooh’, ‘aaaahh’…
But there are tangible examples of companies using blockchain to illuminate their supply chains, measure and then address, in terms of emissions and product sustainability. That’s not to be sniffed at.
Here we have a company making it easier for socially and environmentally driven individuals to find opportunities in their desired fields. 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, the world over, and apply. The blockchain element enables them and the business or group to show what is achieved, a completed portfolio of work or outcomes, demonstrating their credentials and action to protect them against the heckles of greenwashing.
The company are globally dispersed with their base in Japan, but people spread around the world from India to the US.
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, Javascript or Typescript, React and NodeJS will stand out.
Following that, they use Solidity and Haskell with Cardano and Milkomedia and are Ethereum compatible so any exp touching those is great. And testing or automation experience to help establish an infrastructure that’s scalable on an international level will jump out, too. 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 or too niche a focus. 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: Nottingham (Twice a month in the office)
Salary: Up to 55k, with wiggle room for exceptional candidates
Fed up with being pigeonholed into one aspect of the business, seeking variety and flexibility in a role with the option to carry on learning? If so, please carry on reading this may be the perfect role for you!!!
This company is one of Nottingham’s success stories. They have grown and developed into a bonafide disruptive national Fintech brand, taking their own brand of ‘doing things differently’ to a traditionally slow-moving and cumbersome industry.
They’ve won loads of awards for both their disruptive technology and for also being an employer of choice, so you can be sure that by joining them you’ll be working somewhere that strives to do its best for their employees and customers.
You will be working with a small and friendly team and as I previously mentioned you will not be product focused you will be working on everything!!! Working within a small company you will have the option to do, even more, the last QA moved to another area within the business and this is something that they are more than happy to support as a long-term progression.
You will have experience with manual and automation testing, as whilst they are automation testing first, at times you will need to roll your sleeves up and get involved in manual testing. On the automation side, you will not be expected to write frameworks from scratch, however, you will be able to add to frameworks.
In an ideal world, you will have worked with API and database testing as well as the creation and maintenance of automated test suites. C# is the language that you will have experience with as you may also find that you have to do the odd bug fix.
So, if you are looking to join a friendly business which offers autonomy and trust, as well as a nice bonus package, then please get in and hit apply today!
