Conservation Tech Lead

Written by Zelda Perry on 15 November 2023.

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.

Back End C# Software Engineer

Written by Rebel Recruiters on 3 November 2023.

Role: Back End C# Software Engineer

Location: Nottingham city centre, hybrid- very flexible, ideally 2 days per week in the office.

Salary: Up to £55k, depending on experience.

Have you been working in a corporate hellscape for a year or two, dreaming of joining a start-up company right from the beginning where you can learn ALL THE THINGS, have built-in career progression, and ABSOLUTELY NO LEGACY CODE?

Well, this is not a dream, this is a reality- welcome to your new role!

I have partnered with a brand new fintech start-up company, which is currently sitting at a handful of people but with an impressive network around the founders, consisting of industry leaders with loads of knowledge of the fintech space. This is a great point to take note of because it mitigates a lot of the risk that would usually be associated with joining a start-up from the ground up!

They are looking for their second developer to hire, to join their CTO and senior developer.

They are sticking closely to the Microsoft web stack and solely on back-end development as the front end is taken care of, so you’ll need to have a background with the following tech to be right for this:

.Net Core/6/7

Azure

SQL Server

Agile/ TDD/ best practice (SOLID, design patterns)

Whilst a solid foundation of technical skill is naturally needed for the role, your personality, communication, enthusiasm and desire to learn are going to be paramount to your success here; you’ll need to want to get stuck into anything and everything, be eager to learn loads, and have bags of ambition to be the best developer you can be!

If this sounds like what you’ve been waiting for, then apply now or drop me a line to find out more!

IT Support Analyst

Written by Rebel Recruiters on 1 November 2023.

Role: IT Support Analyst

Location: Office based 3-4 days a week, near Warwickshire/Leamington Spa

Salary: £25k – £29k + 10% bonus, 25 days holiday, generous pension, and more

Working hours: 37.5 hours, Mon-Fri 8 am-4.30 pm.

Since a young age, you’ve always found yourself drawn to technology. Whether it was building your PC, overengineering your home network (because you can) or even solving other people’s IT problems, often for free.

All because you love technology.

But, unlike some of your peers you know that, deep down, you are a people person at heart.

You’re probably working for an MSP on a mind-numbing service desk or in a break/fix role, doing stuff you think is child’s play.

Or if not an MSP, then maybe another structured service desk environment, but you love the idea of going somewhere with real career progression, and a chance to actually work *inside* a company, one that is part of one of the UK’s fastest-growing groups.

You’ll enjoy working here because:

The internal culture is legendary – they all look out for each other.
Your manager will push you to grow and develop your knowledge and career.
They are undertaking major IT work, which means for a bright thing such as yourself there will be plenty of opportunities to learn and gain exposure.
Everyone will love you – they are crying out for a superstar tech support to come along and make everyone’s life easier – this is absolutely not a role where you are just another number.
The benefits are excellent, including a 10% bonus.
This company employ about 400 people and has a small in-house team of IT specialists. You will work with the IT manager to support the company’s IT needs remotely and in person.

It’s a 1st/2nd line role, so whilst you won’t be expected to deal with high-level issues (they have an outsourced partner to assist with trickier issues), you will be working very independently.

If you prefer to work in a team of IT professionals all sitting together in the same office this role won’t be for you.

You’ll be office-based four days a week in Warwickshire, but your manager will probably only be in once a week – the rest of the week you will be working under your own steam and doing on-site work with users.

You will be responsible for supporting and setting up all laptops, PCs and peripheral devices. You’ll be supporting Azure/Active Directory, undertaking network support (WAN/LAN/Switches/Routers etc.) and doing some basic server support on-premises and in the cloud (Azure). You’ll ideally have 2 years of experience in a commercial IT support role, with a strong, broad Microsoft background.

You will need to be able to drive to commute to their office 3-4 days a week.

On offer is a basic salary between £25k – £29k + 10% bonus, 25 days holiday, generous pension, discounted gym membership, health/life insurance and more.

Please apply for a guaranteed personal reply.

Backend Python Developer

Written by Rebel Recruiters on 16 October 2023.

Role: Backend Python Developer

Salary: Up to £44K

Location: Cambridge, In the office twice a month

Are you passionate about conservation and the power of technology? If so, we’re on the lookout for a skilled Backend Python Developer to contribute towards building a sustainable future for the business world.

This role is being offered up by a global data centre that believe in harnessing the potential of technology to advance biodiversity research and conservation efforts. The Digital Transformation team is at the forefront of innovation, leveraging Azure’s cloud infrastructure to build robust data pipelines that enable the analysis and interpretation of complex biological data for big businesses around the world. This is the team that you’ll be joining!

As a Backend Python Developer within the digital infrastructure team, you will play a pivotal role in designing, developing, and maintaining the data pipelines in Azure. Although the company isn’t primarily a Python house now, this role is a corridor for more Python projects, and they’re hoping to build out a team of Python developers soon!

You’ll collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of biologists, data scientists and software engineers to create solutions that push the boundaries of what’s possible.

Here’s some expected responsibilities for this role:

Design and implement scalable and efficient web APIs using Python in an Azure environment.
Deliver on web applications in time and within budget.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand data requirements and ensure seamless integration of data pipelines and interfaces.
Stay current with industry trends and emerging technologies to continuously enhance each products’ capabilities.

In terms of who I’m looking for, someone with these skills would be perfect:

Strong proficiency in Backend Python development (2-3+ years)
Experience with Azure services, particularly in building and deploying data pipelines (if you’ve used AWS and have knowledge of Azure, that’s cool too)
Ideally some knowledge of data modelling, ETL processes, and database management, although this isn’t a dealbreaker.
Familiarity with biodiversity data or a keen interest in the field is a plus.
Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.
Willing to travel into the office twice a month.

The office is based in Cambridge, and they’re looking for someone to come into the office twice a month for team events and get togethers. They’re looking to pay up to £44K for this role, so ideally someone mid-level with some experience to their belt would be great!

GreenTech Software Developer – JavaScript OR Ruby on Rails

Written by Rebel Recruiters on 10 October 2023.

Role: GreenTech Software Developer – JavaScript OR Ruby on Rails

Location: Cambridge, flexible – quarterly office visits, maybe fully remote.

Salary: Up to £44K (+12% pension, healthcare and more)

Biodiversity is taking a beating at the hands of human expansion.

There are lots of ways technology can be utilised to help, rather than hinder, nature and our environment to prevent mass extinctions and nature loss.

This organisation works with governments, institutes, companies, and orgs globally to build and implement solutions that improve outcomes.

From maintaining critical databases and expanding data services to delivering detailed insights and modelling. Or building tools for niche purposes, such as utilising remote sensors to track the growth of reforestation and using Geographic Information Systems to improve planning efficiency.

Governments are scrambling to understand how valuable biodiversity is and how it intersects with their economic plans, questioning whether a diverse forest is more commercially or socially valuable than an oil rig or palm oil plantation. How do you even measure that?

The aim [of the organisation] is to be more proactive in creating software and services that others can use and feed into to better deliver on their goals.

That means being more proactive in delivering software, websites, and mobile apps and coaching or supporting their somewhat junior team to avoid technical debt and reach go-live for various projects on time, enabling people to make the change that’s needed.

A lot of their projects have geospatial and mapping elements, so experience with GIS tools and PostgreSQL is handy. Their software is built with Ruby on Rails and JavaScript, VueJS and Nuxt specifically, so experience with one of those is a must. They also use Python, MySQL, GraphQL MapBox, Esri and GitHub, working in an Agile environment.

As a senior dev, you’ll have a small team of 2-6 people whom you support, depending on your preferences, coaching them and doing code reviews, pair programming and testing so they can see and learn from how you and others tackle problems.

You’ll get involved in some more complex tasks like discussions on architecture and tooling, estimations for projects, resource management, and assigning tasks within your team.

They’ll support you in your development, too. It’s not just about what you can give, they’ll ask what you need to progress too. Whether that’s paying for courses, textbooks, or conference tickets – if you think of it, they’ll consider it, genuinely.

You’ll work with scientists and researchers and all kinds of interesting stakeholders to design, build and implement tools. The people here are exceptionally passionate so will chart their own path where possible. You’ll facilitate some of that and be able to do the same.

If you’re serious about saving our planet this is definitely the role you should apply for.

What are you waiting for? ✊

C# .Net Developer

Written by Rebel Recruiters on 21 September 2023.

Role: C# .Net Developer

Location: North Nottingham, hybrid 2/ week in office.

Salary: Up to £50k

This has to be one of my all-time favourite companies to recruit for; they are so lovely.

A long-standing client of Rebel. This company makes 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 are some traits 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!

Senior C# Software Developer – Data

Written by Rebel Recruiters on 20 September 2023.

Role: Senior C# Software Developer – Data

Salary: £55-65k plus benefits

Location: Birmingham office, flexible working hours and location. You can go 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 Senior Software Developer to join a team of 4 highly proficient, friendly people, consisting of; a Team Leader, Principal Dev, and mid-level Dev, which looks after a couple of .net and Angular software products, and their data stack.

As a highly capable Software Developer and go-to person on the team, with a friendly demeanour, collaborative approach, and a straight-forward communication style, you’ll be well-versed in modern software development best practice, cloud services, a modern data stack, and high-quality solutions. This role will see you liaising with internal stakeholders to turn business requirements into fit-for-purpose software solutions and providing both full stack web-based software development, and working heavily with data pipelines doing extract, transform & load (ETL) of data from live systems into a data warehouse and data marts for analysis and reporting.

Tech-wise, you will be especially capable with the following;

Full stack web development – .NET 6 or greater, C#, Angular (AngularJS is not the one!), TypeScript, Azure and Azure DevOps, and SQL Server.
Data stack – Apache Airflow, dbt, and Snowflake.

This role would be perfect for you if you’re the kind of person who is passionate about software development, but in particular, loves a good SQL Server database! You’ll have a hankering for designing and implementing a very elegant relational database, and data models that make analysis and reporting a breeze.

You’ll be working in a cloud native (Azure) PaaS (Platform as a Service) environment where they use IaC (Infrastructure as Code) techniques and strong Agile development principles, including unit testing, integration testing, build automation, release automation, pipelines, infrastructure-as-code.

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!
