Job summary

IVC Evidensia in Edinburgh is seeking a skilled software professional to build and support our practice management system. You’ll work across front-end React, back-end SQL Server, and Azure integrations to connect modules and deliver real improvements.

Reporting to the Applications Manager, you’ll gather user needs, write clear requirements, and test changes across client journeys. A hybrid role with one office day a month in Edinburgh, offering a collaborative, values-led culture.

Qualifications

• Around three years’ commercial experience building and supporting production software.
• The ability to pick up new technologies quickly.
• A track record of shipping small, well made improvements that make life easier for users.
• Rigour with data: you reconcile the numbers before you trust the results.
• The ability to turn user needs into clear priorities, and to explain trade offs to colleagues with and without a technical background.
• A commitment to supporting our purpose and values.

Responsibilities

• Build and support production software, turning what users need into small, well made improvements.
• Get to the real problem behind each request before committing to a fix, and push back when someone hands you a solution instead of a problem.
• Figure out whether an issue calls for training or a missing feature before deciding what to build.
• Write up requests from clinics and support teams as clear requirements, with the evidence behind them.
• Test changes to client journeys, weigh up the results, then decide whether to keep testing, make the change permanent or switch it off.
• Work with React on the front end, SQL Server for data and Azure services, connect systems through APIs, and use AI tools for discovery, building and analysis while keeping a critical eye on what they produce.
