Developing WPF applications for simulations for scientific industry This successful Cambridge company develop simulation software for specialist industry. With international reach, yet local offices and a family feel they would suit an experienced engineer skilled in C# software development including desktop UI. WPF or comparable technologies are ideally sought. You ll be someone able to take on a senior hands-on development position within their UI team. Colleagues are likewise C# developers, a small team working closely with mathematical software engineers. They in turn develop the simulation side of the software suite, which is also C#. You will have: Extensive commercial-grade software development experience in C# with .NET (whether .NET 6-9, Framework or Core). Held senior developer responsibilities before, including taking a view on software engineering approaches, leading projects where required, and mentoring junior colleagues. Ideally, experience with WPF, XAML and related application architecture and event routing. Otherwise, desktop UI via Prism or with Windows Forms (or Qt, etc.), or equivalent UI development experience with web component UI such as React, Angular or similar will be considered. You ll likely be familiar with DI / IoC, MVC / MVP / MVVM, and similar patterns for separation of concerns and reduced dependencies. Developed applications which allow a skilled user to interact with and manipulate complex technical content, rather than e.g. CRM or other database front ends. A good intuition about UI usability, considering users profiles and use cases. This is not a UX role, and the software is already favoured by users, yet intuition and experience will help ensure that future developments are similarly well received. The ability to get up to speed quickly, and work independently as well as collaborate with colleagues. This is a friendly and close-knit company which can offer a long term career opportunity. Situated within cycling distance of north Cambridge, the company s offices also offer plenty of parking on site. Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.

Developing cloud infrastructure to facilitate healthcare research London, remote or hybrid Use your AWS expertise to build secure and scalable cloud infrastructure that will facilitate research and development within the healthcare sector! This company's diagnostics visualisation platform allows medical researchers to visualise and analyse clinical data in order to develop new treatments that will massively improve the lives of patients. Key to this is the creation of secure multi-tenant and multi-region storage solution that allows swift and secure access to various types of data. Data security and integrity is of paramount importance, and the solution needs to be compliant with healthcare industry software standards. This role calls for strong AWS skills, rapid application development, and software development skills, a solid understanding of security aspects. You will also need excellent communication, collaboration, and organisational skills. Of prime importance is that you take a holistic, not just technical, view, and be proactive in reaching out to colleagues and clients to fully understand the product's requirements, stakeholders, and how it sits within the company's broader mission of creating world-leading software tools to further medical research. Reporting directly to the Technical Product Lead, you'll be contributing to product architecture, designing and implementing services, and data pipelines; developing automated testing and CI/CD infrastructure. You will need: A 1st or 2.1 in Computer Science, Engineering, or a similarly relevant discipline, and substantial commercial software engineering experience; to be au fait with Agile ceremonies, version control, and CI/CD, and software testing. Solid expertise in developing and deploying microservices on AWS; knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code; DevOps, and experience with NoSQL databases. Demonstrably good coding skills, ideally in Java and / or Python; knowledge of RESTful APIs and service integration patterns and security frameworks such as OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect (OIDC). You must have full, existing, and unrestricted right to work in the UK. Not essential, but the following would be a bonus: Skills in containerisation/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes etc.); IaC; DynamoDB; Spring Boot and Gradle; knowledge of standards such as ISO 13485 or IEC 62304. This role is predominantly remote, with occasional attendance of the company's London office - you will therefore need to be based in the UK within a convenient travel distance. The role features an excellent salary, benefits package, and an option scheme. This is a great chance to make your mark in a company focussed on improving people's lives.

Providing 24/7 IT support for On-Prem and Cloud applications As part of a dedicated, internal IT team, the Systems, Infrastructure and Network Engineer will provide full IT support for the wider organisation, including extensive IT systems found in large corporate engineering companies as well as On-Prem and Cloud provisions. Projects and work can vary, but the team takes pride in responding quickly and efficiently to support cases escalated from helpdesks. Due to the nature of projects, you will be expected to be onsite quickly if required, so interested applicants do need to live in Cambridge or close to Cambridge. In general, you may only be in the office 2+ days per week. Further, you would be expected to be on-call for out-of-hours support one-week-in-four (again being able to go into the office quickly during this time; this doesn t happen often, but the business provides a 24/7 service to their customers so the ability to provide support is required). Requirements: Extensive experience in IT Systems or Network Engineering (this is not a sysadmin desktop support role). Expertise and project understanding around networking (including TCP/IP, DNS, ports and protocols, routers, latency, firewalls, VPNs etc ). Experience with both Windows Server systems administration (Active Directory, RADIUS, PowerShell); and Linux systems administration (Ubuntu, Apache2, OpenSSL). Experience with different email configurations and management (DMARC, SPF, SMTP, IMAP). Additional experience with database administration (SQL Server, Oracle); MS 365 administration, Virtual machine hosting, Azure would be beneficial. The role is particularly people-facing, so good communication skills and ability to translate technical jargon for non-technical audiences is important. Similarly, the ability to multitask, lead on projects and being adaptable is important. On offer is a competitive salary with good benefits. The company provides support to employees and flexibility to accommodate work-life when possible. Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.
