Software Development Manager | C# / Python / Linux | Hybrid

A niche, specialist company based in the south are currently undergoing multiple major projects within a variety of sectors including large civil organisations and large military organisations and are therefore looking to expand the team with a brand-new hire. Reporting into the Development Director, this position will be the second-most senior position within the engineering department.

This is predominantly remote, though you will need to pop into their office a few days a month (circa a week). So, if you live relatively close to the South-East of England, that will make your life easier.

You’ll have the Lead Developers for each of the teams reporting into you, so will be overseeing a department of 15-18 developers.

Your background prior to managementmustbe that of a software developer, as demonstratable experience is key to the position. Though this isn’t a “hands on” role in that you aren’t sitting there coding, it is a highly technical team and you’ll need to “get it”, understand problems quickly and help the team to find a solutions (chewing over problems with the teams – not writing a lot of code necessarily, but sometimes prototyping things up etc) – you’ll need to be able to do this with your eyes closed.

On a general day to day basis, you’ll work with the Leads and direct them to help get the most out of the teams (ie immediate daily feedback on the software process – are the DevOps boards up to scratch, are the requirements up to scratch, coach them through if needed).

This is not a replacement – this is a brand-new hire into the organisation.

As this company is within the “Defence” sector, eligibility for SC clearance is essential.

Day to day Responsibilities

  • Tech Stack = C#, Python, Front End JavaScript (React, Vue, Angular etc)

  • Linux (must be comfortable, competent and confident with Linux & development on Linux – you’ll need to be Linux fluent and have used it day to day)

  • Running a department of 3 teams, circa 15-18 in total

  • Combination of high-level work and diving hands on with the team to help coach, mentor and facilitate

  • Due to the nature of the work, you’ll need demonstratable experience of being a developer who has “worked their way through the ranks” and is 100% comfortable jumping in when needed

    Any of the following is advantageous:

  • Physics background prior to development (ie Physics MSc, PhD etc)

  • Geospatial experience

    With interviews aiming to be arranged over the course of the next couple of weeks, apply now to discuss it further

Rural-Remote Cloud Computing Jobs: Pioneering a New Work-Life Balance

A Fresh Outlook for Cloud Professionals The field of cloud computing has rapidly become one of the most crucial pillars of the modern tech landscape. From multinational corporations to innovative start-ups, organisations rely on remote servers and virtualised infrastructure to store data, deploy applications, and deliver services globally. Conventional wisdom once held that this high-tech world was exclusively tied to large urban hubs—particularly London. However, a growing number of roles in this domain are now just as easily fulfilled from the rural countryside, where rolling hills, seaside towns, and smaller communities provide a more laid-back and affordable lifestyle. At CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing a surge in opportunities that emphasise remote and flexible work. Many professionals are on the hunt for “tech jobs by the sea” or “cloud computing remote countryside” roles, eager to escape the hustle of city life without sacrificing access to cutting-edge technologies. This shift is fuelled by factors like improved rural internet connectivity, evolving corporate cultures, and the inherent nature of cloud work, which primarily revolves around online platforms and virtual collaboration tools. In this article, we’ll explore the reasons behind this migration from traditional city offices to rural and coastal areas, the advantages (and challenges) of such moves, and practical advice on securing a cloud computing job that’s location-agnostic. Whether you dream of swapping your daily Tube commute for a stroll along a coastal path or a walk through a tranquil village lane, this might be the perfect time to redefine your work-life balance—and still shape the future of cloud tech.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in the Cloud: A New Dawn for Distributed Computing

Cloud computing has reshaped the digital landscape, freeing organisations from on-premises hardware constraints and paving the way for services that scale on demand. From hosting business-critical databases to enabling global content delivery networks, the cloud has become the backbone of modern IT. Parallel to this evolution, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly matured, offering transformative capabilities in data analytics, recommendation systems, and automation. Yet for all its power, conventional computing infrastructure sometimes struggles to handle the complex, high-dimensional problems AI can generate—especially in areas like drug discovery, advanced cryptography, or intricate optimisation. Quantum computing has burst onto the scene as a new paradigm that might address these computational bottlenecks. By leveraging quantum bits (qubits) and phenomena like superposition and entanglement, quantum computers could, in principle, explore vast solution spaces at unprecedented speeds. What happens when these three forces—cloud computing, AI, and quantum technology—converge? We enter a new era of quantum-enhanced AI in the cloud, where distributed systems seamlessly integrate classical and quantum resources to deliver powerful, scalable, and efficient solutions. This article will explore: How cloud computing has set the stage for next-generation AI. The basics of quantum computing and why it’s poised to disrupt traditional workloads. Real-world applications of quantum-enhanced AI that leverage cloud infrastructure. Emerging job roles and skill requirements in this fast-evolving landscape. Ethical, technical, and logistical considerations that must guide future developments. Whether you’re a seasoned cloud professional looking to stay ahead of the curve, a data scientist curious about the promise of quantum, or a tech enthusiast eager to see what’s next, read on. The future of computing may be closer than you think.
