James is undoubtedly the best recruiter I have worked with. He dedicated an enormous amount of time to ensuring I was as aware, comfortable and happy with the process as I could have been, whilst showing an expert-level knowledge of the company and the sector he was recruiting me for. His approachable, friendly and energetic manner made it exceptionally easy for us to establish a great working relationship, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to move to a role in Financial Services. It was a pleasure working with him and getting to know him and I wish him every success going forwards.

James provided incredible guidance throughout the entire recruitment process. His personable approach, diligence and in-depth FS industry knowledge meant that my requirements were met in full and that I was provided with sound advice, clear communication and extensive feedback along the way. Thank you!

The OVO Group’s mission is to tackle humanity’s biggest challenge – the climate crisis – by driving progress towards zero carbon living. Our energy technology companies are working together to lower our carbon emissions to zero by 2030, and help our members halve theirs at the same time. This isn’t just a job. It’s the work of a lifetime, and we need the sharpest minds to help. We trust our development teams to choose their tech stacks, you’ll commonly encounter Scala, TypeScript, Clojure, Node, Java, Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, React, Cypress, Swift and React Native. We run our services in GCP, AWS and Azure. We’re looking for engineers with interest in the above, but your experience doesn’t have to match our stack. We’re interested in engineers with deep experience in similar technologies and also polyglots who are comfortable working across the stack. Show less
