Full Stack Developer

Edinburgh | Salary negotiable | Permanent

Published: 28.01.25 Ref: BBBH50315_1738061164

One of the UK's top Tech Organisations is looking for a Full Stack JavaScript Developer to join their Edinburgh-based office on a hybrid basis (2 days per week). Genuinely a world-class office set-up, really modern tech and good salary + benefits on offer.

They are one of the UK's leading companies in supplying top of the range hardware and software to some of the most well-known tech giants. They've been operating for over 40 years now and they're recognised worldwide - it's an extremely established organisation and environment.

You'll find yourself working in a small Agile squad and will work pretty closely with the Software Architect on a range of projects. Initially you'll be onboarded to a few key ongoing projects that will help familiarise you with their tech environment, but within time you'll also gain experience working on greenfield projects too - they've got pretty big plans for this team over the next couple of years and lots to keep you busy.

This team works pretty heavily with NodeJS, TypeScript, AWS and they use modern infrastructure tools like Kubernetes and Helm. They're ideally looking for someone with current or past experience working with a similar tech stack, however they can be somewhat flexible as they are constantly looking to evolve and improve their tech offerings - so aren't married to one technology or another.

Given the nature of the work they do, the company are really big on best practices and following software fundamentals, so if you've worked within a similar environment then you'll likely be a good fit here.

You'll ideally have commercial experience with the following;

** NodeJS

** ReactJS or NextJS

** TypeScript

** Cloud Services (ideally AWS)

** Infrastructure as code tools

Experience with the following is highly beneficial;

** Any design background

** Working in product environments

The company has a great culture (and a solid Glassdoor page to boast) it's highly unlikely anyone has a short stint here as many of the Engineering team have been with the business for several years. They're great at offering Engineers opportunities for L&D, career progression and really respecting their employee's work to life balance.

In return, they're offering a strong salary (happy to provide full info prior to application) for this role + a range of strong benefits to match. Their offices are based in central Edinburgh where they would expect you onsite about twice a week.

If you're keen to find out more, please apply and / or drop Douglas Paget at Cathcart Technology a message via LinkedIn for an informal chat.

Our clients

Candidates

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh
