Edinburgh | £60,000 - £73,000 | Permanent

Published: 13.12.24 Ref: BBBH49458_1734102294

World-Class Technology company in Edinburgh are looking for a skilled Senior Software Engineer, with good experience using Java and ideally JavaScript, to join one of their core squads. Hybrid working, modern tech and great culture on offer.

They've been operating for well-over ten years and are one of the market leaders within their field - they're going through a period of growth as they're scaling up several of their squads, so are in a great place.

You'd be joining one of their core squads, that has a really positive and direct effect on their customers. There is going to be a big focus on this team in 2025, as they have a number of big features they're looking to implement, and they're also already experimenting with AI in this team - so it's genuinely a very interesting and modern problem space.

They're an Agile squad of roughly ten, with Software Engineers of varying levels of experience, the team are largely back-end heavy (with Java and AWS) but they do have a dedicated front-end specialist. They're ideally looking for someone quite comfortable across the full stack to really compliment the team but given the project work there will be a strong back-end lean for this role (80-20%).

You'll be actively working with Java (Spring), AWS, Microservices and Docker, amongst a few other technologies. You'll be regularly involved in feature design meetings, where you'll be able to suggest and help implement technologies the team feel would help take their services to the next level. The organisation are very big on knowledge sharing here, so you'll be able to gain skills and experience with other technologies (i.e ReactJS / TypeScript).

You'll ideally have good experience with the following;

** Modern Java

** Java Frameworks (ideally Spring / Springboot)

** Working with cloud services (AWS, GCP or Azure)

** JavaScript / TypeScript

The following experience is highly desirable;

** Working with Distributed Systems

** ReactJS (or similar JS libraries)

** DevOps tooling (Docker, Kubernetes or Terraforms)

They've got custom-built offices in central Edinburgh, which includes pool tables, games consoles, even their own Gym and much more. They do support hybrid working here and would hope people can work in the office ideally once or twice a week.

In return they're able to offer a salary from £60k to £73k (might have some flex) and a really strong benefits package to match; which includes multiple bonuses and uncapped holidays.

This is a really unique opportunity to join an already well-established organisation, that are going through a really exciting period of growth. If you're keen to find out more, please apply or drop Doug a message via Linkedin.

Our clients

Candidates

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

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

Data Scientist – Manchester

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

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

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

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

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

Software Engineer – Manchester

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

Software Developer – Northampton

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

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 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.
