A World-Class technology company founded in Edinburgh are looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer, ideally with a good background in React, to join one of their core squads. Really Modern Tech, great culture and flexible working on offer (hybrid policy of one day in office per week).
They've been operating very successfully now for well-over ten years and are recognised as the market leaders within their field. They're currently going through a period of growth as they're scaling up several of their products and squads, so it's a really exciting time to join. As a company they're very product-driven and work with the most up to date engineering principles and standards as well as a really big importance on best practices.
You'll work in one of their core engineering teams based out of Edinburgh - these differ in size but normally range from 4-8 Engineers. It's a multidisciplinary team made up of Backend, Frontend and DevOps engineer. You'll also collaborate with Designers, Product people and Testers. The teams work very collaboratively and expect everyone in the team to get involved in technical discussions, so hopefully that is something you're used to.
You'll be coming in as one of the more Senior Engineers in the frontend so they're looking for someone that is already working at a Senior level and is confident in their ability. You'll be tasked with developing the front of the core platform using React. The team right now are focusing on scaling and modernising their products so any experience with working to scale and AWS would be desirable for this role. You'll also be tasked with helping get the more Junior members of the team up to speed so coaching and mentoring experience is desirable. You'll also be contributing to design meetings and leading feature work so they're hoping you're at the level where you feel comfortable doing this independently.
The have one code base for the product you'd be working on which includes the following tech: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, React Native, Java, Spring, AWS and more. They're looking for someone that is an expert Front End Developer that has lots of commercial experience with React. The company have a great culture of learning so there will be lots of opportunity to upskill in different areas and move into other teams, which makes it an excellent place for career progression.
You should be an experienced Senior React Developer that's excited about working with the most modern technologies. Although they've already scaled up as a company, they've very much managed to keep the feel of a young tech company on the rise and certainly don't have boring corporate processes in place.
The company are HQ'd in Edinburgh and would be expected to be in the office once or twice per week as a minimum. The rest of the time you can work remotely. Their package includes a strong salary on offer up to £75,000 (potentially more for exceptional applicants), excellent bonuses, private medical and much more.
If you're a Senior React Developer that wants to work for one of Scotland's most successful tech companies, then please apply and/or get in touch with Max Malone at Cathcart Technology.
