Are you passionate about writing top quality C# code? If so, this is an excellent opportunity to share in the success story of a company producing world-leading software.

Our client is a dynamic, Cambridge-based company who are already market leaders in a number of areas, but have healthy ambitions to grow further. They develop unique, web-based data gathering and reporting software, which can be individually tailored for their numerous prestigious blue-chip clients around the world.

Due to expansion, they are looking for talented software developers to join the team.

The company recognises the benefits of letting developers drive forward things that both interest them, and that are good for the product and the customers. Developers are self-motivated and expected to manage their own day-to-day workloads.

You'll be writing code all the way up the stack from the database, through to the webserver and front-end code. The application is written in C# and Oracle PL/SQL, with some C++ and XSLT, and Javascript on the browser side, as well as some Flash.

In a more senior role, you'll have commercial development with ASP.NET and C#, coupled with either Oracle or the ability to quickly apply your SQL Server experience to a new RDBMS.

Most importantly, you'll have the ability and desire to craft maintainable, production quality C# code, rather than just hacking together a solution.

You will be rewarded with a good salary, the chance to work in a great team in a top-notch working environment, exposure to a host of impressive blue-chip clients, a  flexible working environment and excellent benefits.

- 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 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.

A superb opportunity for a bright Software Developer to join a team of exceptional software developers using C#, ASP.NET and SQL technologies.

Our client specialises in sample management software for the biotech industry.  Their product suite encompasses complex web-based, client-server and PDA-based modules.  Together, these modules track chemical and biological samples and control robots to prepare those samples for scientific research.  The overall purpose is to speed up the discovery of new drugs.

New modules are developed in C# and ASP.NET, while existing modules are written primarily in Visual Basic and ASP.  The back-end database is Oracle.

Development takes place in our client's modern offices in central London.  Many of the staff also visit customers in the UK, Europe and the US, so good client facing skills are desirable.  The successful Software Developer will be exposed to the full lifecycle of software development.

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.

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 all tiers of the application:

• database design and implementation (including use of ORM technologies)
• C# middleware modules, consuming and exposing web services using WCF
• ASP.NET MVC web server components
• JavaScript-based client-side user interface development (including use of jQuery and in-house JavaScript libraries where needed).

Due to expansion, our client is seeking a degree-qualified, bright candidate with experience of .NET programming and developing AJAX based websites.

Experience of ASP.NET MVC would be useful. Most importantly, you'll be a team player with a strong engineering, scientific or mathematical background and good communications skills, able to thrive in a small company environment.

A range of experience from recent graduate will be considered.

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.

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.

They're looking for good Java developers as they're expanding their Cambridge team; they also have an office in Essex if that's more convenient, and you're welcome to work from either.
