The organisation is well-known and have a very strong technical environment and reputation – everyone lives and breathes modern technology here. They develop large-scale SaaS products designed to improve efficiency and accountability within the healthcare industry and they have very quickly become a household name and a market leader within their field.

They have several different squads, with each looking after one or two different products for the company. They have several market leading products now that are widely used by millions. This role would involve joining a squad that has been tasked to design and develop a new SaaS product with the aim to provide their customers more insight into their data.

In this role you’ll be working alongside an experienced Engineering Manager to help guide a multi-disciplinary Agile Dev Team (circa 6) made up of Software Engineers and Automation Engineers. Your role will be 100% hands on with the project, as the Team Lead will look after everything managerial / people focused – you’ll be tasked to map the way from a technical perspective.

You’ll be involved in the initial design / proof of concept discussions, early architecture designs, leading the development, being a key technical escalation point, coaching and mentoring, and obviously hands on development work. This role is really designed for a skilled Engineer ideally looking to move into an architect or non-managerial senior position in the next few years.

They place a really strong importance on doing software development correctly here (from SOLID principles, Design Patterns, Restful API’s, Unit-Testing, Test-Driven Development), Engineers that embody these practices would fit in really well.

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

Modern .Net (C#, MVC, .Net Core, Web API)

Cloud Services (ideally Azure, but open to AWS or GCP)

HTML, CSS and JavaScript (ideally Angular)

Project Lead Experience

The following is highly desirable;

Microservices

Elastic Search or Apache Kafka

Modern Agile Experience

Their offices are based in central Edinburgh where they support hybrid working, you’ll be expected onsite about twice a week so are looking for Engineers that are already local to Edinburgh. They offer very flexible hours though, so you can have a lot of flexibility around start and finish times.
