Our client's flagship product is one of the most renowned, stable, secure, scalable and highly performant virtual platforms in existence today. Active ties are retained with the open source community and top academic institutions, and businesses large and small in many countries. As companies the world over move to "the cloud", virtual machines are a critical part of many infrastructures today, and this is only likely to increase over the coming years.

Our client is seeking highly skilled professionals to join a small, elite "tiger team" of specialists to address the most critical changes to the system. Whether key features, minor enhancements or vital fixes, these changes are critical to the business and hence are being placed in the hands of a new, dedicated team.

You'll be working in a small team of likeminded experts, who collectively and individually liaise with core development teams across the kernel, storage, GUI, platform and API subsystems. You will get to work with customers too, but you can also rely on a dedicated support team who handle all day to day issues and customer enquiries and resolve many requests themselves - only the most critical are passed for your team's consideration.

You'll need:

- A good degree in computer science or a related subject from a reputable university;
- 5+ years of full time, commercial development experience in C or C++; or a PhD offering comparable exposure;
- A basic understanding of the x86 architecture (memory model, style of registers and instruction set, etc.)
- Linux platform experience, including development and scripting;
- Strong problem solving, diagnostic and debugging skills and good attention to detail;
- To be ready to travel a large code base written in a variety of languages;
- Reasonable "soft" skills and a desire to see happy customers.

Ideally, you'll have one of:

- Familiarity with a range of procedural languages including C#, Java, or Python;
- An understanding of functional programming, including knowledge of a language such as F#, Nemerle, Haskell, OCaml, or Lisp;
- Experience working on major Linux kernel subsystems (memory, storage, networking), perhaps including accepted commits (however minor) to the kernel itself;
- A good grasp of the principles, benefits and techniques involved in virtual deployment;
- An understanding of datacenter storage systems (iSCSI, FC, FcOE, storage arrays).

The company offers a relaxed, "R&D" style work environment, where discussion is open and encouraged, along with flexible hours, career mobility and a competitive package, including a pension to which the company contributes a good percentage of salary.

Are you a dedicated senior software test engineer with good mathematical skills?

Our client creates innovative modelling, analysis and predictive software tools for use by professionals in the financial services sector. They're well established in Epsom, highly successful, and maintain a "small company" feel whilst having the backing of an international organisation with offices around the UK and the rest of the world.

They're seeking top test engineers to work on their latest line of products. You'll be passionate about software testing - this isn't a stepping stone into a development role -  and you'll have a good relevant degree and several years test experience to back it up. You'll be highly numerate with good analytical skills, and preferably a good grasp of statistics. If you're familiar with databases and/or SQL that's an advantage but not essential.

You'll be liaising with developers and expert end users during a very hands-on Agile development cycle to create and execute test plans. Tests will be both manual and automated: the manual testing requires someone numerate who is able to follow figures back through behind the scenes processing to work out how they were arrived at, as getting the numbers right is critical to our client! Automated tests cover both functionality and performance, and you'll need to be able to produce them using scripting languages and/or a mainstream OO language such as C#, C++ or Java.

Our client practices the best kind of Agile development, where customers are feeding directly back into the development process, and you'll be a key part of that. You'll be ready to talk both with developers and domain experts to make sure your testing is covering all bases, and your feedback on usability and other "soft" issues will be very valuable.

This is an ideal opportunity for an agile, numerate test engineer. An exceptional salary and top benefits are available to the right candidate, along with sensible working hours, the best equipment needed to do your job, and good coffee.

Are you a dedicated senior software test engineer with good mathematical skills?

Our client creates innovative mathematical modelling and analysis software tools for use by professionals in the financial services sector. They're well established in Cambridge, highly successful, and maintain a "small company" feel whilst having the backing of an international organisation.

They're seeking top test engineers to work on their latest line of products. You'll be passionate about software testing - this isn't a stepping stone into a development role -  and you'll have a good relevant degree and several years test experience to back it up. You'll be highly numerate with good analytical skills, and preferably a good grasp of statistics. If you're familiar with databases and/or SQL that's an advantage but not essential.

You'll be liaising with developers and expert end users during a very hands-on Agile development cycle to create and execute test plans. Tests will be both manual and automated: the manual testing requires someone numerate who is able to follow figures back through behind the scenes processing to work out how they were arrived at, as getting the numbers right is critical to our client! Automated tests cover both functionality and performance, and you'll need to be able to produce them using scripting languages and/or a mainstream OO language such as C#, C++ or Java.

Our client practices the best kind of Agile development, where customers are feeding directly back into the development process, and you'll be a key part of that. You'll be ready to talk both with developers and domain experts to make sure your testing is covering all bases, and your feedback on usability and other "soft" issues will be very valuable.

This is an ideal opportunity for an agile, numerate test engineer. An exceptional salary and top benefits are available to the right candidate, along with sensible working hours, the best equipment needed to do your job, and good coffee.
