Full Stack Developer

Edinburgh | £0 | Permanent

Published: 09.11.26 Ref: BBBH52962_1794245434

Edinburgh-based technology organisation is looking for a Full Stack Developer to join their hybrid engineering team, working on a complex, data-heavy platform operating in the energy sector.

The product is built to handle vast volumes of live data and provides users with real-time insight to inform critical decisions. Because of this, performance, reliability and uptime are core considerations, making it a genuinely interesting environment from an engineering perspective. There are lots of interconnected components, and the team are regularly solving problems that go beyond straightforward feature delivery.

This is a code-heavy role, where you'll work across the full stack, with a strong emphasis on front-end development, alongside C# on the back-end. The platform is highly bespoke and configurable, with a substantial existing codebase, and ongoing work around new functionality, platform enhancements and expansion into additional regions.

A key part of the role involves thinking carefully about how large datasets are ingested, processed and presented in a way that's both performant and useful. You'll be involved in feature development, improving existing functionality, customisation work and supporting the continued growth of the platform.

They're open-minded on background and are far more interested in strong fundamentals, logical thinking and problem-solving ability than matching every technical requirement. The team values engineers who can collaborate well, communicate clearly, and articulate their technical decisions effectively.

You'll ideally have experience with most of the following:

** .NET development

** Front-end development (HTML, CSS and JavaScript / TypeScript)

** Cloud platforms (ideally Azure, but open to AWS and GCP)

** Working with databases (SQL and/or Cosmos DB)

The following would be beneficial:

** Exposure to DevOps tooling

** Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js, React or Angular)

You'll be joining a really collaborative and friendly engineering function that works closely with data specialists and wider stakeholders, and work directly on a market-leading product that used globally and in real time.

The organisation has a growing Edinburgh office and supports hybrid working. You'd be expected onsite around two days per week, so they're ideally looking for candidates already fairly local.

In return, they're offering a strong salary (happy to discuss prior to application) alongside a solid benefits package, which includes; annual bonus, good pension, generous annual leave, private medical cover, income protection and more.

If you're keen to learn more, please apply or drop Doug Paget a message via LinkedIn to discuss further.

Our clients

Candidates

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Software Engineer – Manchester

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

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

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

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

Software Developer – Northampton

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

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

Data Scientist – Manchester
