About the company

A ‘Tech for good’ organisation based in Edinburgh is looking for a collaborative Software Engineer (with experience in Java and JavaScript) to join their hybrid team. Work with modern technologies, in a great culture, with amazing benefits.

They’ve been operating very successfully for several years now and they offer an award-winning service that helps thousands of people every day. This is a great opportunity to work on a series of products that benefit so many throughout the UK. They’ve also experienced consistent year-on-year growth, both in their customer base and their employee headcount, and they have an ambitious roadmap for the years ahead.

You’d be joining one of their Agile squads, consisting of roughly five experienced Software Enginers (it’s a great learning environment). You’ll be working directly on a business-critical platform. They do have multiple squads based out of this location too, so there’s lots of opportunity for a varied workload, and a chance to pick up different tools and technologies.

They work with a really modern tech stack: Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Microservices, Kubernetes, Kafka, AWS, and React.js + TypeScript. Although experience with all of this is great, the organisation is more interested in collaborative Engineers who can bring strong soft skills to the team, so they’re flexible on specific technologies.
