Software Engineer - CRM & Business Systems - Remote (UK) with Monthly Office Meet-Up

Are you a versatile Software Engineer who enjoys working across CRM platforms, business systems, integrations, and automation? Do you communicate well, collaborate confidently, and take ownership rather than hiding behind a screen?

We're partnered with a private-equity-backed organisation experiencing strong growth. They're looking for a Software Engineer who can contribute across CRM and business-critical systems in a multi-brand environment (B2B and B2C). This is not a junior role-they want someone experienced, confident, and engaged.

The Role

You'll work closely with the internal development team to evolve CRM and business systems, improve integrations, enhance automation and AI features, and support technical decision-making. Expect variety, ownership and a visible role in how technology moves forward.

What You'll Work On

  • Enhancing and developing CRM platforms (Salesforce experience is ideal; strong CRM/Java-based backgrounds also considered)
  • Building and improving integrations and internal tooling
  • Working with automation, workflow and AI-driven features (e.g., Salesforce Einstein)
  • Developing scripts and components in Python and other core languages
  • Supporting secure, stable and scalable system operations
  • Collaborating with developers and stakeholders to troubleshoot issues and shape improvements

Technical Skills They're Looking For

  • Strong experience as a Software Engineer
  • Solid understanding of relational databases and experience with ETL tools
  • Experience working in Agile development environments
  • Strong experience with web services (REST, JSON, XML)
  • CRM or business systems development experience
  • Good grasp of integrations, APIs and internal platforms
  • Excellent communication and business awareness - someone confident engaging with people, not hiding behind a screen
  • Based anywhere in the UK (unable to consider anyone based outside UK), able to visit the office near Manchester once a month

Why Join?

  • Friendly, relaxed culture
  • Growing, PE-backed organisation with real investment into tech
  • Support for certifications and ongoing development
  • A role with autonomy, variety and genuine influence

Our clients

Candidates

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

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

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

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

Software Engineer – Manchester

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
