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.

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 expert software engineers to work on their latest line of products. You'll have significant experience developing complex software products of the highest caliber, backed by strong mathematical skills and a good degree in computer science, maths, physics, engineering or a relevant subject from a top university. You’ll have taken an active role in every part of the software development life cycle on multiple products, from conception through to requirements capture, analysis, design, implementation, testing and deployment.

You’ll be flexible and ready to contribute wherever you’re needed, whether that means talking to clients, designing individual software components or entire system architectures, tracking down and fixing bugs, writing new “green field” code, maintaining and refactoring existing products or producing documentation.

You’ll be able to quickly learn the ins and outs of very technical problem domains and to apply this knowledge when selecting the best technologies for the job, designing entire applications and honing individual components. You’ll also be very capable of seeing things from a user’s point of view – you’ll be designing for real people, from the system as a whole through to its user interface.

You’ll be working primarily in C#, so you’ll either have significant C# experience or you’ll be very comfortable in multiple mainstream object-oriented languages and so prepared to pick up a new one.

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 have friendly technical discussions with other developers to come up with the best possible solutions, to make a good case for your plans, to stick to your guns where appropriate and yield to better ideas when not.

This is an ideal opportunity for an agile senior software developer. 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.
