Job description

They’ve been running really successfully now for several years and their product is used worldwide, largely both within the UK and the US. It’s a data-focused product that is proven to enhance the efficiency within organisations and ultimately lower costs. They've got a busy pipeline of project work, including new feature development and major enhancements to the product - so they'll be plenty to keep you busy.

They're based in central Edinburgh and have a development squad of around six Engineers. They'd describe themselves as a friendly and sociable bunch that promote collaborative working and are looking for a similar fit. For this role (and all technical roles at the business) they’re ideally looking for someone that is comfortable working onsite, roughly three days per week.

You’d find yourself working on their core cloud platform, which is written with a modern tech stack (.Net, Azure, Microservices, Vuejs + TypeScript and more). So they're ideally looking for an Engineer that has good experience working across the Full Stack - however, you don't need to tick every technical requirement, they're happy to help people upskill here as it's a great L&D environment.

You’ll ideally have experience with most of the following;

• Modern .Net (.Net Core, ASP.Net MVC, API's)
• Databases (SQL Server or Entity Framework)
• Test Driven Development
• Working in an Agile environment

Experience with the following is highly desirable;

• Cloud Services (Azure, GCP or AWS)
• Working in a product environment

The company have a great culture, several of their Engineers have strong tenure within the business, and it’s rare someone would have a short stint here. I’ve personally helped a couple Engineers join the team over the past few years and heard great things firsthand.

Their offices are just walking distance from Haymarket and Waverley station in Edinburgh, where they support hybrid working, with three days in office. In return they’re able to offer a salary from £35k to £50k, on top of a good benefits package to match (Annual Bonus, 34 days holidays), alongside a great opportunity to continue developing your career within a collaborative and supportive engineering environment.
