Software Engineer

Glasgow | £30,000 - £40,000 | Permanent

Published: 11.11.25 Ref: BBBH52199_1762883834

An award-winning software organisation based in Glasgow is looking for a collaborative Software Engineer with some commercial experience to join their growing team. The organisation offers an excellent work-life balance, supports hybrid working (around two days per week), and uses a variety of modern technologies.

They've been operating successfully for over 20 years and provide a very stable and supportive environment. The team is currently very busy with projects and looking to bring in a couple of additional Software Engineers (growth roles!) to help with the workload. This is definitely an environment where you'll get stuck in and have genuine opportunities to learn new technologies, gain certifications, take on additional responsibilities, and accelerate your career.

You'll be dedicated to a specific project team, with projects typically running anywhere from a month to over a year. As the organisation works with a broad mix of technologies, you'll gain exposure to different languages and frameworks - it's a great learning environment, where you'll never stagnate or feel bored. The tech stack commonly includes .NET, TypeScript, React.js, Node.js, Python, AWS, and Azure, and they're strong advocates for modern DevOps practices (Bicep, Terraform, Kubernetes etc.). Anyone with experience or a genuine interest in these areas would be a great fit. The company also stays ahead of the curve with emerging tech, already running projects in AI and ML - offering opportunities to get involved in that space too.

As the organisation is fairly tech agnostic, they're looking for Software Engineers with experience in at least one of their core languages and a strong desire to learn. What matters most is attitude - the ideal candidate will be passionate, collaborative, and driven.

Their offices are based in central Glasgow, with good transport links and on-site parking. They support hybrid working, where you'll be expected onsite a couple of days a week to collaborate with colleagues. The company is a strong believer in maintaining a sustainable work-life balance - when you're finished and off the clock, you're done!

In return, they're offering a salary from £30,000 to £40,000 (with scope for more if someone really impresses). This is genuinely a great opportunity for someone looking to build a strong career in Software Engineering - you'll be thrown into meaningful projects, gain valuable commercial experience, and work with a wide range of modern technologies alongside highly skilled Engineers.

Our clients

Candidates

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Software Engineer – Manchester

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

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

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

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

Data Scientist – Manchester

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

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

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

Software Developer – Northampton
