Are you a talented creator of business software, something of a Microsoft specialist, looking to develop real software in East Anglia?

Located near the beautiful city of Norwich, our client is a leading provider of software as a service to the aviation industry. Due to high demand for their services they are looking to increment the number of quality developers on the team (in a thread safe fashion, lockless or otherwise).

You will have a degree in computer science or a relevant subject from an established UK university - which not only boosted your geek credentials, but taught you a thing or two about database design and software architecture. You'll also doubtless have picked up numerous exciting facts about tuples, finite state automata and other compsci topics - whether or not you enjoyed the theory, you'll be able to explain their practical applications on the back of an envelope, and you'll rely on them to help you develop high quality code for real businesses.

This won't be your first job, as you'll have gained a smattering of commercial experience applying C# to business logic, ASP.NET to front end web development, and designing and developing databases using SQL Server. You'll be able to weave them together to create new products, and you'll be equally happy casting a critical eye over existing code and databases and working out how to improve them.

You'll be someone who can tell inheritance from overloading and polymorphism from abstraction. You can tell an entity from an object, and ER modelling from OO A&D. You can tell a stored procedure from a trigger and a clustered from a non-clustered index. You can left join, right join, inner join and outer join, implicitly or otherwise. You can find performance bottlenecks in real systems, whether that means firing up a profiler or a query analyser or instrumenting the code by hand. And what's more you'll love doing it and be good at it, both by yourself and as part of a team of like minded individuals.

You'll be ready to fight your corner in the interests of creating good software, but you'll also be ready to be humbled by others' good ideas and snap them up and make them work. And you can easily move between discussion, maintenance and green field development without a break in your stride.

If all this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you - our client needs real programmers and good software doesn't build itself.

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 web services 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.

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.

The test analyst / software tester will be accustomed to both automated and manual testing, able to develop test suites in scripting languages as well as in an object-oriented language such as C#, Java or Delphi.

The test analyst / software tester will be numerate, with a good understanding of mathematics; any financial knowledge, experience or interest is a plus.

If the test analyst / software tester has exposure to databases / SQL, that's definitely an advantage, but significant knowledge of SQL is not required given a strong background as a test analyst / software tester.

As a test analyst / software tester you'll work closely with the development team and with clients and be ready to fully participate in an agile development process.

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.

Are you a smart Java developer looking for a new challenge? Would you like to work with a young green tech company, well funded and with ambitious plans for the future?

Our client develop some smart hardware and accompanying software to help people and companies take control of their driving habits, either personal or commercial. In this time of rising fuel prices, "how is my driving?" is an ever more relevant question - if you're treating your vehicle well and driving economically, not only is it safer but far more economical, both in terms of petrol and insurance, especially given that many people's insurance premiums are going up as providers are obliged to treat everyone more equally.

Our client's hardware plugs right into vehicle systems and can monitor all kinds of neat stuff about the way the vehicle is running. This data is then processed using smart Java tools, and can be made available for either immediate reference to the driver, or to examine back at base (or at home) later on.
