I just wonder if you have anyone at Red Gate who commutes from London? While I've heard a lot of good stuff about Red Gate and Cambridge is a very nice place I would be hesitant to give up the awesomeness of living in London. (I suppose I'm not alone with that).

If you had a brompton I think it'd be fine (red gate hq is miles from station - literally)

  There's also a bus. Or you can leave your bike locked at the train station overnight.

We (that is Citrix) have some people who commute from London. And our office is just a few hundred metres away from Red Gate. (We are also hiring. Drop me an email, if you are interested.)

  Man, I'd love to rewrite the god-awful son-of-windows-3.1 UI on citrix. Solid software, terrible UI. Glad it's a good company though! "We're not the sort of company that tosses a man out because he's over 40. How old are you Reggie?"

    You are right about the UI. (Of course the UI is not made at the Cambridge office, where we only produce nice software. :o) I have heard that Citrix is looking into making better UIs. All our top managers have been converted into Apple fan boys for a start.

If you're in London and don't want to leave or commute outside then we (labs.yell.com) are looking for 20 to 25 developers at the moment to help establish the newly formed labs. We don't offer ipads but you will get an octo-core mac pro on your desk with 2 large monitors, an iphone, pension, bonuses, good pay, etc... and we'll give you work you will find challenging (whatever your level of challenging is). Further more we are in the centre of London, cross-section of Grays Inn Road and Theobalds Road, so you'll still have access to whatever turns you on (hipster highway leads to Shoreditch, we're equidistant from both the city and West End). I saw your background is C# from StackOverflow, but hope you'll find yourself comfortable with picking up whatever tool is required (Objective C, C, Java, C#, Python, etc). Training will of course be there and if this doesn't interest you specifically then please tell other devs in London (or willing to move to London) who you think would fit into a really creative, relaxed and passionate team. Drop me an email on my personal email (on my profile page) to sidestep the HR obstacles and get yourself in front of the devs who work there.
