Job description

An established UK tech consultancy is expanding its engineering function and is looking for several Senior Software Engineers to join during an exciting period of growth. The company delivers cloud-native solutions using modern technologies and supports remote-first working across Scotland.

Having operated successfully for several years, they're now investing in growing out their Scottish engineering presence, making this a great time to join and help shape a growing function.

Engineering excellence sits at the core of the company. They work with modern technologies and are looking for engineers who value strong software engineering fundamentals, maintain high coding standards, and enjoy keeping up with evolving technology.

The tech stack varies depending on the project, but they work extensively with .NET, TypeScript, Python and Kotlin. As projects are delivered end-to-end, teams work with a DevOps mindset - "You build it, you own it" - meaning engineers are actively involved with cloud platforms, deployment and infrastructure throughout the delivery lifecycle.

The variety of project work provides strong opportunities to learn new technologies, gain exposure to multiple industries, and take on additional technical or leadership responsibilities over time. The organisation promotes a collaborative environment, where learning happens through hands‑on delivery and shared experience.

You’ll ideally bring experience in most of the following:

• Strong Programming experience with at least one of the following; .Net, Python, Kotlin, Java, Typescript.
• Strong testing experience (ideally TDD)
• Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or GCP
• Infrastructure as Code (Terraforms and Kubernetes preferred)
• Microservices architecture
• Front-end development experience (ideally with Reactjs)

Highly desirable experience includes:

• Previous work within a technical consultancy
• Software architecture or project leadership exposure
• Experience with a variety of programming languages and technologies

This role would suit someone who enjoys solving complex problems, relishes the opportunity to contribute to the technical direction of projects, and wants to continue growing their career within a collaborative consultancy environment.

The company supports remote‑first working across Scotland, with engineers aligned to their London tech hub. You'd typically visit the office once a quarter for team collaboration and project kick-offs.

In return, they offer a salary of 60k- 80k, with scope for more for particularly strong candidates, alongside their benefits package.
