Our client is an established, growing company providing innovative software solutions to one of the biggest global industry sectors. And it's a great place to work!

Their web software tools play a business critical role in the selection and purchasing processes of major companies. These global implementations span hundreds of users across each organisation, allowing the client company to minimise implementation costs while offering highly granular, central control over access to data and services.

These websites and webservices allow complex mathematical queries and operations to be carried out against a live, central database. Despite the fact that most of these activities are computationally demanding, the tools must be robust to very high peak usage. This requires careful optimisation of database queries, combined with advanced caching and indexing technologies.

In addition, despite their rich interface, our client’s web tools must remain responsive even over low-bandwidth and high-latency networks. This is achieved through a combination of efficient page design with technologies such as page compression and chunked responses.

Their Web Solutions Group is responsible for the design and development of all web tools, ranging from corporate intranet implementations through to the sites maintained on their own servers. Development work spans the data and business logic tiers of the application, from SQL database design, through VB.NET/C++ middleware, onto XML generation for web services or AJAX based HTML interfaces. Our client's web tools target Windows Server platforms, using Microsoft SQL Server and IIS.

Due to expansion, our client is seeking degree-qualified, bright candidates with:

- advanced JavaScript programming using AJAX as part of a significant project (personal, commercial or academic)
- recent advanced .NET programming experience as part of a significant project
- experience of using SQL Server or other relational database
- experience of using Windows Server operating systems

Experience of C++ programming with the STL would be beneficial.

Most importantly, you'll be a team player with a strong engineering, scientific or mathematical background, able to thrive in a small company environment.

Our client offers a relaxed yet professional and supportive work environment, and good benefits, helping to make this an excellent opportunity to join an industry leader and be part of their success.

With this exciting young company who are aiming to change the world!

Our client is at a crucial stage in their development, and they are seeking a senior level developer with significant commercial experience developing Web applications on the Microsoft platform in C#. You will be proficient with .NET and have strong SQL server skills, ideally with experience optimising databases for performance.

Experience with ASP.NET and highly scalable Web applications (e.g. millions or tens of millions or users) is desirable.

As well as your technical skills, you should be flexible in terms of travel, as regular visits to liaise with European partners will be required.

This is a superb opportunity to join a well funded, early stage company and share in their success.

Please note: even if you don't have exactly the background indicated, do contact us now if this type of job is of interest - we may well have similar opportunities that you would be suited to. And of course, we always get your permission before submitting your CV to a company.
