This role will mainly involve working on the company's core products, they currently have three that are used world-wide and very highly rated (in fact many of us use them daily and we don't even know it!).
The project work is genuinely interesting and would provide opportunities to learn some really technical processes.

** Experience with Python, Perl, UNIX or other scripting languages.
** An interest or experience in security, ethical hacking, reverse engineering or cryptography.
Their office is based in Glasgow city centre, walking distance from both Central Station and Queen Street - like most they work on a hybrid basis, with a couple of days on site per week (however they do have some flex on this).
They've got great staff retention - a testament to the good working environment and interesting technical work, in addition to this they offer a comprehensive benefits package including; Bonus, Private Medical Insurance, Life Assurance, Income Protection and Contributory Pension - this is all on top off a competitive salary (£50k to £70k).
