You’ll typically work in small, tight-knit multidisciplinary teams, solving tough software problems. You’ll have the opportunity to further develop your career mentoring colleagues, advising our clients, and taking ownership of significant pieces of work.

What are we looking for?

Skills

We’re looking for passionate, proactive technologists. We are technology agnostic and use the right language, tooling and frameworks for the job. That means we’re open minded when it comes to your existing skillset, but we value the following:

• Good experience in at least one of Python, Java, C#/.NET, JavaScript or TypeScript, and their associated ecosystems.
• You’re a problem-solver, pragmatically exploring options and finding effective solutions.
• An understanding of how to design and build well-structured, maintainable systems.
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to work.
• You embrace the chance to try new things, learn new skills and grow your experience.

What You’ll Get In Return Is

• 25 days’ annual leave, rising to 30 days with each year of service.
• Generous family leave policies.
• Access to an employer pension scheme, and Group Life Assurance.
• A range of optional benefits such as discounted gym membership and a cycle-to-work scheme.
• A meaningful approach to evaluating your performance and providing feedback on your progress.

At Scott Logic, we value the flexibility of remote working alongside the value gained from spending time with our colleagues and clients. In our offices you’ll find employee-led clubs and events, as well as free games, books, and refreshments.

We have shared values that govern our behaviour toward others and the environment. We are proud to be a B Corp, a global movement of businesses driving for a more inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.

We believe diversity drives innovation, and embrace a culture where everyone can contribute, irrespective of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability.
