# Software Engineer

- **Company:** Bright Purple Resourcing Ltd
- **Location:** Edinburgh, UK
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Salary:** £65,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** .NET Framework, C Sharp (Programming Language), C++ (Programming Language), Database Design, Embedded Software, Firmware, Microsoft Visual Studio, Software Engineering, Web Applications, Containerization
- **Published:** September 7, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.brightpurple.co.uk/job/senior-software-engineer-6179.aspx

## About the Role

o Strong experience with C#, .NET and Visual Studio
o A background in C/C++, or embedded software/firmware
o Familiarity with containerisation, web applications and database design
o Comfort estimating, documenting and defending your own designs
o Confident communication. You'll work directly with end users, not just other engineers

## Description

o You'll own meaningful pieces of the product end to end. From capturing requirements and shaping the design, through to writing, testing and supporting the code that ships. You're not handed a spec and left to it: you'll be trusted to challenge requirements, propose better solutions, and defend your design decisions in review with developers who'll push you to do your best work.
o Because this software drives real hardware in real wells, you'll work closely with the Firmware team, the kind of cross-discipline collaboration that's rare in most software roles, and one of the reasons this job stays interesting. Expect a modern C#/.NET toolchain, containerised services, and the latitude to bring in new tools and techniques when they'll genuinely improve the team's output.
o It's a role that will stretch you, with a team around you that wants you to succeed.
