C++ Engineer; join a crypto startup in London where Durlston Partners has placed 60% of the employees. I'm keen on speaking with C++ Engineers, who are comfortable tinkering with cloud technologies and have a strong understanding of DevOps principles, to join a company I know inside out based in London. I know them inside out as we've placed the lion's share of employees there. The company is building cutting-edge infrastructure which sits at the heart of CeFi and DeFi trading. It's a small outfit by team size, yet packs a punch well above its weight as the current employees are truly best-in-class technologists. This role would most likely suit an Engineer with a few years of experience who values being sat in a team that experiment, fail fast and iterate constantly. Yes it's a startup, but the HM doesn't want to set you up for failure; you'll have 2 HFT C++ veterans by your side in the office (4 days p.w.), as well as report into a Founder who is still fully hands-on. Interview process is done in 3 rounds and an offer typically starts being structured before your final round, so you're not going to be waiting for weeks to find out when you'll be joining. 3 Rounds: - Coderpad - 2.5 hours tech discussions w/ current employees - Final w/ Founder 📩 [email protected] 📲 TG: @cryptowarwick #DPDMCC

BML was invited by a leading PE firm to present to all their portfolio companies yesterday. They take a very proactive approach to drive value creation through up skilling and collaboration across all portfolio companies, and this session’s focus was on DevOps and AI. The Crowdstrike induced Microsoft Windows outage gave us a very good example to demonstrate the value of good DevOps practice. The outage was a prime example of what can happen if process fails or automation is just followed blindly. The over reliance on automation has now resulted in significant amounts of very manual recovery work. There is a reason why a core DevOps principle is to unit test, then integrate and again do regression testing, and do controlled release. BML work with PE firms, their portfolio companies, and corporates to firstly avoid stepping into Red and to effectively get out of Red situations. Reach out if you also need sensible and demystified technology and business modernisation advisory. #privateequity #DevOps #AI #techadvisory #techsavvy

“Find YOUR vibe” was the theme at our IT & Tech Services M&A event in partnership with Technology Holdings. ✌ Overall, we know the UK market has been hit hard but there are hot pockets of growth. So, what are businesses who are defying market conditions doing? They… 1) Have a culture of being entrepreneurial - taking risks (pivot!), learning, adjusting and growing. 2) Tap into current themes including behavioural science and cyber; but if they say “We do AI” then be clear on the detail! 3) Spread their risk via sector/service/diversified customer accounts. 4) Have a passion to do something different including creating IP. 5) Have an aligned incentivised team – prioritise creating a good ‘vibe’ and hire people with a high likeability factor. Measure employee satisfaction. And when getting ready to sell, what do should you do? a) Have your story – why you have invested as you have, even if this means a drag on profit. b) As the Founder know what you want personally and what exit means to you. c) Find the buyer who believes in you and wants to go on the journey. d) Have a detailed explanation of customer acquisition- once your network is exhausted what do you do? e) Know and be transparent about your weaknesses. f) And don’t game the 'EBITDA adjustment'; be transparent. And what advice did the panel give for 2025? Tim Birt from Osborne Clarke: emphasised that you must have management and leadership focus; having those conversations, then turning into action, is business critical. Bruce Robert Green from Technology Holdings: advised that you focus on what makes you different; we’re in a dynamic market so find the right home for you and don’t be swayed by distractions. Tom Maizels from Horizon Capital: reflected that businesses that can engage and sell at C suite level are outperforming those that go through procurement. One to consider? Christine Olmsted from Synechron: finished the session with “tell me your story” but remember buyers want honesty too – No one is perfect. It’s what you are doing about it that is important. And our own Dan Egerton reminded the audience that your focus should be to build a better business to sit in a fast-changing world. This doesn’t mean a free form, chaotic business, you still need to adhere to processes. Remember agility and stability can complement each other. In summary, 2025 is expected to remain challenging but that does not mean that great businesses won’t sell. By focusing on managing the buyers’ risks, keeping a flexible cost structure and being clear about the need, you can achieve your ambitions. Many thanks to our curious and attentive guests and our wonderful co-hosts Technology Holdings in creating an Event that was thoughtful whilst being fun. Remember, incredible things happen when you focus on growth with purpose!
