Lewis Dale on the ACS jobs Facebook page says: Stevenson Astrosat are currently looking for software engineers to come and work at their Edinburgh offices.

I’m currently doing an internship there, and the work is really interesting; it’s using satellite data for a variety of uses, including disaster recovery.

If this sounds interesting to you, send a CV and a small portfolio of work over to info@astrosat.biz, ir if you would like a bit more information feel free to drop me a message.

They really are a great company to work for, and you would be just in time to move into their new office, a newly-refurbished church in the centre of Musselburgh.

Intergral GmbH IY positions (6 possible)

Intergral (http://www.intergral.com) are an SME near Stuttgart, Germany.  I visited the company a few months back and it is a fantastic place to work (it is a ‘spin off’ set up by two ex Hewlett Packard employees from the UK).  They work in English so German is not necessary.  There is an Aber student there this year.  You need to be very good technically and have a strong work ethic…  I copy a couple of comment the CEO passed on to me:

“A trend has been noticed in the series of interviews we have had thus far. A lot of the applicants have been very focused towards the design and building of websites. Whereas, Intergral is looking more for the design and creation of ‘web applications‘ rather than ‘web sites‘. It may be worth mentioning to students with an interest in the web position to ensure they have at least a good understanding of server-side languages such as PHP in addition to the front-end technologies listed in the job description. Additionally, they will definitely benefit greatly from becoming acquainted with cloud architecture and some of the frameworks/methodologies used to accomplish it.”

Was a really beneficial scheme and I managed to get the grad job at the end – so it was definitely worth it.”

Closing date is 2pm on 8th December. They also have graduate programmes to apply for.
