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. You'll need a good degree in computing, maths, engineering or a related subject, and several years solid commercial Java development experience. If you've got good database skills, that's a plus.

They're a young company formed by smart people, and their products can make a real difference both to people's lives and to the environment. They take good care of their staff, with sensible working hours, good benefits and relaxed, easy going social events for those who are interested - plus free pizza for lunch on Fridays.

This is an ideal opportunity for a skilled Java developer to make a difference. We'd love to hear from you.
