Edinburgh based SaaS Organisation, that have a market leading product, are looking for an experienced Software Engineer (with good exposure using the .Net framework) to join their agile team - modern tech and hybrid working on offer.

They've been running really successfully now for several years and their product is used worldwide, largely both within the UK and the US. It's a data focused product that is proven to enhance the efficiency within organisations and ultimately lower costs. The platform has been so successful the company have recently been acquired by a global powerhouse, as they're looking to expand their footprint, so it's a really exciting time to join.

They're based in central Edinburgh and have a development squad of roughly seven, they'd describe themselves as a friendly and sociable bunch that endorse collaborate working and are looking for a similar fit. For this role (and all technical roles at the business) they're ideally looking for someone that can work onsite, roughly three days per week.

You'd find yourself working on their core cloud platform, which is written with a modern tech stack (.Net, SQL, Azure and VueJS). They are ideally looking for a Developer that feels comfortable across the full stack or would be open to learning some of their tech stack - as they're happy to help people upskills here, they've got a great L&D environment.

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

** Modern .Net (.Net Core, ASP.Net MVC)

** Databases (SQL Server or Entity Framework)

** Modern JavaScript Libraries (ReactJS, Angular or VueJS)

** Working with an Agile environment

Experience with the following is highly desirable;

** Microsoft Azure

** Microservices

** Working in a product environment

The company have a great culture, several of the Software Engineers at the organisation have been there for a good amount of years, it's very rare someone would have a short stint here. I've personally helped a couple Engineers join the team and heard great things first hand.

Their offices are just walking distance from Haymarket station in Edinburgh, and they support hybrid working, where you'd be expected in about three days per week.

In return they're able to offer a salary from £30k to £43k for this role (although could be scope for more) on top of a good benefits package to match (Annual Bonus, 34 days holidays).

If you're keen to find out more, please apply or drop Douglas Paget at Cathcart Technology a message.

Our clients

Candidates

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 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 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

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

Data Scientist – 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 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

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

Software Engineer – 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

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

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
