- A good grasp of the principles, benefits and techniques involved in virtual deployment;
- An understanding of datacenter storage systems (iSCSI, FC, FcOE, storage arrays).

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.

Our client is a leading company working in the financial sector. Due to continued success they are seeking a numerate test analyst / software tester to join their development team in Epsom.

The test analyst / software tester will have a good degree in a relevant technical subject, as well as several years experience specifically as a test analyst / software tester.

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.

This is an excellent opportunity for a bright test analyst / software tester to join a successful company with an excellent benefits package.

The Java developer will have a good degree in a relevant technical subject, as well as several years commercial experience in Java.  Exposure to databases / SQL is definitely an advantage, but significant knowledge of SQL is not required given a strong background in Java.

This is an excellent opportunity for a bright Java developer to join a vibrant young company with an excellent benefits package.

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.

Further technologies are required: Strong background in Java (ideally JavaScript-based web application development); and Database development experience using Oracle and PL/SQL. Prior experience delivering complex software solutions in an agile environment is beneficial.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Java developer to join a leading solutions company as they develop their next enterprise applications, and in return gain an excellent remuneration and benefits package.

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.
