    Their senior solution architect vacancy has similar pay: https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/about/our-people/careers...Somewhat less eminent job title though.

    "From £64,189 p.a. depending on skills and experience"I maintained a collection of well organized rocks as a child. Surely that gets me a bit more than base pay right?

    RE Your predecessorNo one knows who he was, or what he was doing.But his legacy remains hewn in the HR dock of Stonehenge.

    Damnit. No WFH option.

    I was slightly disappointed when I first visited Stonehenge as the standard tours keep you fairly far away and roped off.But, I took a modestly more expensive "Inner Stones" tour a few months ago and lucked out being selected to be fully alone for a minute. It was a profound experience being in the middle of such a historic place.Highly, highly recommended!

    Due to a typo in the paperwork sent to HR by the hiring manager, they are only paying 64,189 pence. The director was last heard chastising HR, saying "It's not your job to be as confused as Nigel."

    "Job type Permanent"I bet they enjoyed typing that in."5,000 years+ -- depends on you"Might be another option if it were freeform text

    I caught a live stream of Stonehenge during this past Winter Solstice (it was cloudy, naturally) and the streamer provided a bit of trivia that I hadn't heard before:George Washington's English ancestors, specifically Sir Lawrence Washington, were the owners of the West Amesbury Estate in Wiltshire, England, which included the land where the ancient Stonehenge monument sits. (Via Google)If you hadn't that before, welcome to the "Huh, that's a funny coincidence" club.

    Honestly feels like a dream job. Imagine your ancestors smiling down on you if you are from Britain or just human.

    On the front page? LLMs got lots of us programmers dreaming of leaving the profession, I suppose.

    Missed opportunity to say they’re ‘looking for a rock star to lead our team!’

    Sounds like a very cool job, and not sure about the UK job market, but seems to be wildly underpaid for the qualifications!
