Careers

Benefits

We discovered a long time ago at Redgate that if we created a relaxed, informal working environment and gave people all the resources they needed, they responded by doing great work.

Personal development

At Redgate, you'll be able to develop the skills you want, the way you want - and we'll be there to support, advise, and encourage you.

Everyone here has the chance to work with us on their own Personal Development Plan.

Flexibility

We'll give you the freedom, flexibility, and trust to excel at what you do.

People can generally work the hours that suit them around our core hours and Redgate now adopts a flexible-hybrid model which means that people will typically work flexibly between a remote (home) and office environment. Dress however you like. And enjoy working with a bunch of talented, intelligent people who all want to do great work.

Family-friendly workplace

Alongside flexible hybrid working, Redgate also offers enhanced paternity, maternity and shared parental pay. We offer additional support such as maternity coaching, where anyone going on maternity leave receives support from an external coach before, during and after their leave.

Level Up

To support our ongoing learning, development and collaboration, every year Redgaters enjoy coming together for our Level Up conference. This is designed and delivered by Redgaters for Redgaters, with a range of talks and workshops, combined with plenty of our Feel Good Fun!

The Redgate Feel Good Fund is dedicated to providing fun stuff like team days out. Our Cambridge office has held cheese and wine tastings, been on punt trips down the River Cam, and has an annual black tie Christmas Ball.

Our Austin office has gone indoor skydiving at iFLY, attends local happy hours and trivia nights, and has an annual holiday party.

Inclusive Engineering at Redgate

In mid 2024, one of Redgate’s coaches, Clare, pulled together a team to focus on improving inclusivity within Redgate’s Engineering organisation. This group was designed to work alongside the wider company initiatives, under the guidance of Engineering leadership. Inclusivity is a very broad topic, and the group wanted to avoid becoming overwhelmed with all the possible options. They initially decided to focus on two areas: supporting neurodiverse colleagues and improving the gender balance within Engineering. One of the core activities for the group has been reaching out to other parts of the business to talk about diversity and offer help.… Read more

How Redgate structures product management

As we expand our product management team, perhaps the top candidate question is “how do you structure the team?”. It makes sense: the role has different meanings at almost every organisation, and correspondingly different ways of working with others. That structure is also an important part of how we offer people opportunities to learn from each other and grow as product managers, so it’s worth laying out a little more about how we work. Perhaps as interesting as the structure itself, is why? For that, we first need some context: What does Redgate’s portfolio look like? Redgate offers end-to-end database… Read more

Level Up 2024: Tech – A conference by Redgaters, for Redgaters

19th June 2024 marked the 7th year of Redgate internal “Level Up” conferences, and the 4th engineering-focused event. Since 2018 Redgate’s Engineering organisation have run an internal conference to inspire people to engage in their personal development, build capability across our teams and bring people together to learn, share and collaborate. The conference — which we called Level Up — got us out of our usual working environments to learn from other Redgaters working on different things and gather fresh insights & opinions. Following Level Up 2023, it was clear that we’d outgrown the Duxford venue as Engineering continues to… Read more
