Software Engineer

A 'Tech for good' organisation based in Edinburgh is looking for a collaborative Software Engineer (with experience in Java and JavaScript) to join their hybrid team. Work with modern technologies, in a great culture, with amazing benefits.

They've been operating very successfully for several years now and they offer an award-winningservice that helps thousands of people every day. This is a great opportunity to work on a series of products that benefit so many throughout the UK. They've also experienced consistent year-on-year growth, both in their customer base and their employee headcount, and they have an ambitious roadmap for the years ahead.

You'd be joining one of their Agile squads, consisting of roughly five experienced Software Enginers (it's a great learning environment). You'll be working directly on a business-criticalplatform. They do have multiple squads based out of this location too, so there's lots of opportunity for a varied workload, and a chance to pick up different tools and technologies.

They work with a really modern tech stack: Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Microservices, Kubernetes, Kafka, AWS, and React.js + TypeScript. Although experience with all of this is great, the organisation is more interested in collaborative Engineers who can bring strong soft skills to the team, so they're flexible on specific technologies.

Additionally, they place a really big emphasis on following best practices and software fundamentals, and are looking for Engineers that have worked in a similar environment. They're also very focused on testing, where you'll regularly follow TDD, so they're looking for Engineers who value and understand the importance of quality code.

You'll ideally have experience with most of the following

** Java (ideally Spring Boot)

** Microservices

** Test Driven Development

** Front-end Development (HTML, CSS and JavaScript)

** Working with Databases (ideally PostgreSQL)

Experience with the following is highly desirable

** Cloud Services (ideally AWS)

** DevOps; Docker and Kubernetes

** React.js + TypeScript

This opportunity would be ideal for an ambitious Software Engineer looking to join a collaborative team, that is committed to using modern technologies and best practices.

Their offices are based just on the outskirts of Edinburgh, just walking distance from public transport links and they have onsite parking too. They do support hybrid working here, where you'll be expected onsite three days per week, for collaboration time with the team.

In return they're able to offer a salary from £45k to £60k based on experience with a strong benefits package to match, which includes: 35-hour working week, private healthcare, 15% pension, strong annual bonus, 28 days holiday + bank holidays, and much more.

If you're keen to find out more, please apply or drop Doug Paget a message via LinkedIn for an informal chat.
