London | Hybrid working | £100k to £105k

A growing online retailer is looking for someone to help modernise a cloud platform that has evolved over the past decade.

The business has built a successful product and strong engineering team, but now wants to take the platform into its next phase. They are looking for a DevOps leader who still enjoys being hands on with the technology while helping a small team level up how they work.

This role sits right in the middle of that transformation.

You will split your time between working with the platform and helping shape how the DevOps team operates. It is roughly a 50 50 balance between hands on engineering and leadership.

The environment is already running in AWS with Kubernetes and Python, alongside MariaDB, MySQL and Postgres. The opportunity is to modernise the platform, improve automation and help shape the DevOps culture as the business continues to grow.

This role would suit someone who has recently stepped into leadership but still enjoys solving technical problems and improving how platforms run in production.

Hybrid working with two days per week in the London office.

If you enjoy improving platforms rather than just maintaining them, feel free to message me and I would be happy to share more details.

Become the founding member of this medical device software development team

On the borders of Essex and Cambridgeshire, this diagnostics company develops medical instrumentation that provides accessible and timely results for public health purposes. Their system uses a combination of embedded C running on an RTOS, A React-Native app running on Android, and centralised data collection based on the LAMP stack and MariaDB.

With products already on the market, they are seeking to move their software development in house, and are seeking an experienced and adaptable Senior Software Engineer to form the nucleus of their software team. The process of taking on board software development will be gradual, and supported by current (external) developers, so immediate familiarity with the entire stack isn’t expected; however, a strong understanding of embedded development, and prior experience of developing software for medical devices (and therefore a knowledge of the associated medical software standards) will be needed.

As the company is still at an early stage, you may be occasionally required to help out in other (non-software) functions of the company - you will therefore need an accommodating and adaptable outlook as well as an enthusiasm for work which will have a very substantial positive impact.

You will need:

• A strong academic background in Computer Science, Electronics or similarly applicable subject.
• Substantial experience as a software engineer, including software development for medical devices.
• Excellent coding skills in embedded C.
• A can-do attitude, happy to dive into new technologies and learn new skills as needed (or indeed to help out with non-software tasks as the need occasionally arises).
• Full existing right to work in the UK without restriction, time limit, or sponsorship.

Not essential, but useful: real-time operating systems, React Native, Android, LAMP, C# or Python.

If you’re looking for a role that will make a massive positive impact in the world, whilst at the same time becoming the founding member of a software team, then this may be for you. The role is on-site in a pleasant countryside location. A highly competitive salary is on offer to the successful candidate.
