Senior Software Engineer

Edinburgh | £50,000 - £65,000 | Permanent

Published: 28.01.25 Ref: BBBH50342_1738060699

An Edinburgh-based Tech-for-good start up is looking for a Senior Software Engineer, with good experience using ReactJS and TypeScript, to join their hybrid team. Opportunity to work for an organisation that will genuinely improve the quality of life for so many people.

They've been operating for a few years now and have developed a revolutionary device for the healthcare industry that's aimed to help improve mobility. You'll be joining the software side of the business and will be responsible for one of their main web applications, this will be a business-critical function for their device.

You'll be working alongside two other techies within this side of the business, so will have others to help get you up to speed, bounce ideas off and offer support. However, they will be focused on other products / services and you'll be given full ownership of this application - so they're really looking for a confident Software Engineer that's looking a challenging role.

The application is currently in a functional state, but it's very much within its infancy and they're looking for someone to come in and really expand this product out and within time help to scale. It's written in ReactJS on the front-end with NodeJS and TypeScript on the back end, they use a SQL database, and it's hosted on AWS. So, you'll ideally feel comfortable with most of this tech stack, however they can be somewhat flexible on certain technologies, especially in relation to the back end providing you're willing and able to upskill.

What would really make a candidate stand out for this role is prior experience working on an early SaaS product for a tech start-up, bonus points if that's also within the Healthcare / Medical sector - however this is definitely not a requirement.

Their offices are based on the West side of Edinburgh, with parking available onsite and good public transport links. They do support hybrid working here and you'll be expected onsite about once a week to meet with your colleagues - they're genuinely a really friendly and social bunch; many are into their outdoor activities so meeting your colleagues for a Munro Walk at the weekend isn't out of the norm here (also definitely not a requirement for the role!).

In return they're able to offer a salary of £50k - £65k + benefits. There is also lots of opportunity for career progression here as the company have pretty ambitious growth plans, they aim to grow headcount later this very year. They've suggested this hire would be in an ideal position for technical leadership responsibilities down the line, should they want this.

If you're keen to find out more please apply, and feel free to reach out to Douglas Paget on LinkedIn to discuss further.

Tips

We can help you prepare interviews and offer some great tips to help candidates get the best possible start.

Process

Before we assess a candidate and put them forward, we’ll do a phone interview to get a better understanding of the type you’re looking for, your goals and plans.

Preparation

We know exacly what employers are looking, especially our clients, because they told us. We can help you prepare for the interview and shape up for meeting their team.

Branding

Personal branding is a term you may or may not be familiar with. In our connected world, it pays to be fully prepared for what happens when employees search your name.

Our clients

Candidates

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

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

Data Scientist – Manchester

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

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

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

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

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

Software Developer – Northampton

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

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

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

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

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

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.
