A Bit About Us

We’re problem solvers at heart. Sometimes the answer is technology, sometimes it is strategy, and sometimes it is a strong cup of tea and a bit of thoughtful conversation. Whatever it takes, we work it out with our clients.

A Bit About Us

We’re problem solvers at heart. Sometimes the answer is technology, sometimes it is strategy, and sometimes it is a strong cup of tea and a bit of thoughtful conversation. Whatever it takes, we work it out with our clients. We’re an IT consultancy that helps organisations get the best out of their technology. That means keeping them secure and keeping the bad guys out, making sure everything works and is easy to use, and doing smart things with data and software to give their business an edge. It is important work, and we care about doing it well and for the right reasons. Life at Waterstons is friendly, flexible and built on trust. We hire people who are curious, thoughtful and good at getting to the heart of a problem. You get support, trust and room to grow in a place that still feels human. The unlimited holidays and private healthcare are a nice touch, although most people stay because it feels like the right place to do good work with good people.

Are you ready to shape your future?

This is a fantastic time to join us as we’re growing internationally and are on the look out for curious problem solvers to get involved in fascinating projects within our software team. We pride ourselves on building trusted partnerships with everyone we work with. From day one you will be involved in challenging and varied work which will have a real impact on the lives of our clients. From design to build, you’ll be involved in the whole software lifecycle. You will get to work with a range of technologies such as C#/.NET, React, SQL, Azure and of course AI. You could also work with products like Microsoft SharePoint and Power Platform, and will learn DevOps best practices and principles as you go.

It’s definitely not all coding - We have regular fun hack days, knowledge shares where we share interesting projects with other teams, and fun workshops with our clients. Finally, we are always on the lookout for curious people who are passionate about stepping out of their comfort zones and reaching their true potential.

Don’t just take our word for it – check out our career stories!

This role is based in our Durham or Glasgow office.
