Software Engineering Manager required to join a growing software security organisation, based from Glasgow. The company They are a software security organisation of close to 300 people, with offices across the UK and wider Europe. The products they create are security driven, and with an ever stronger focus on this across the globe, the business is profiting. They are starting to branch out into the America’s and East Asia also, with this role a result of growth. You will be working across a small team and will report into the Director of Engineering, also based from Glasgow. They are a fairly flexible organisation and have Developers across the UK – ideally able to get to Glasgow 1 or 2 days a week. However, as they are a hybrid business, they do look at each individual on a case-by-case business. The role A newly created position due to growth and promotion, you will initially be Engineering Manager across a team of 5 Software Engineers, with scope to grow into multiple teams in the near future (if you so desire). You will likely be from a technical software background, but this role doesn’t require any hands-on coding. It is likely you will have been in a Team Lead or Management position before, but this doesn’t have to have been for many years – as long as you feel you can take the step up to manage this team and be comfortable doing so. Like the majority of Engineering Management roles, there isn’t likely to be too much time to code, so that is not a necessity (although they can make it work if you desire). The focus of this role is to guide and develop the team, making sure they work as well and efficiently as possible, whilst creating a great environment to operate in. On top of this, you will aid in Architecture and System Design as well as Project Delivery – a fairly typical Engineering Manager role. Due to the diverse nature of the tech stack, the following area of experience would be useful (all not required): ** An understanding of security principles or certifications such as; authentication, encryption, ISO27001 etc ** Knowledge of Mobile App or Android/iOS development; Android Studio, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C etc ** A background in development across C/C++ This role is very diverse and interesting in equal measure. You will be joining both a growing company and software engineering function, starting a journey on attacking new markets.

A growing SaaS organisation in Scotland are looking for a Senior React Developer to join their remote Agile team. They’ve been around for a few years now and have really made a name for themselves, they’ve got a great reputation and a strong technical environment. They have an in-demand Cloud-based platform which has been developed as an end-to-end business operation tool. They’ve recently went through a period of growth and have had some impressive client wins. You’d be joining a largely remote-based Agile squad of Developers and will be working directly on their main product. The work will be quite varied, as they’re currently doing a lot of optimisation work and improvements to their current product. Additionally, as they’ve recently brought on more new clients, you’ll also be involved within customising the product to meet all of their needs. You’ll also be regularly involved in R&D work for potential new features and tech for the product – as they’re keen to make sure they’re continually evolving. It’s genuinely a really exciting time to join. Specifically for front end, they are really looking to modernise as much as possible, so you’ll have the opportunity to work on lots of new features and improvements, there is also the opportunity to contribute to the architecture. They have a very strong learning environment as well, so if you’re someone that wants to gain more exposure to back end & cloud technologies then this role could really suit you. The Front End of the software is currently built in React, so you’ll need to have commercial experience working with React. They also use TypeScript as well, so likewise you’ll also have good experience with this too. They’d be really keen on someone that is passionate about React and keeps up to date with all the new features, tools etc., so they can implement these into their tech stack. There are a couple of things that would help someone really stand out for this role. Firstly, if you had any commerical experience with software architecture. Another thing would be any experience/exposure to coaching and mentoring more junior Developers especially with ReactJS or TypeScript. Their main HQ is based in Dundee, but the majority of the team work remotely in Scotland. They do support both hybrid and remote working here. They do have a preference for Scottish-based Developers – so are looking for people already based in the area. In return, they’re able to offer a salary of roughly £45k to £55k for this role dependent on experience and skill level. In addition to this, they’re able to offer lots of career progression, additional responsibilities, and the opportunity to upskill in new or different technologies.

Software Team Lead required for an Edinburgh-based Tech Start-up. The Company: They have been in operation for a few years now, and work in the tech-for-good space. They have one core product but also offer a consultancy type service, with a huge European customer. The applications they develop are critical within the research community in which they operate, and they work with some incredibly bright minds. A lot of your colleagues and customers are from research and academic backgrounds, and it might be the case for you as well (although not a necessity). The applications you work on will be used by academic researchers in order to provide them the tools and ability to analyse large data sets – these customers work in the environmental space. They are an Edinburgh based firm and offer hybrid work, typically one or two days a week in office (one would not be an issue). The role: This is a Software Team Lead/Engineering Manager position, looking after a team of 4 Engineers. You will need to have prior experience looking after or managing a small team, but this role also encompasses a technical element, with you requiring the ability to code at scale when required. The role and work comes with real variety, spending part of your time working on their core product as well as developing multiple tools and applications from scratch. On top of this, you will help to maintain some existing applications. The environment is fast-paced given the projects, so they are looking for someone comfortable in this setting. As the project work is varied, so too is the tech stack. Predominantly they work in Python (moving towards FastAPI), they host applications on GCP, within a Linux environment and tend to use ReactJS for the front-end with a MongoDB database. However, they’re looking for a creative and curious Software Manager to join the business and if you feel a different technology would better suit a project, you genuinely have the ability to implement and suggest this here. You’ll ideally have commercial experience with most of the following; ** Managing or leading a small team of Engineers as well as tech skills across: ** Python ** JavaScript ** Cloud Services ** CI/CD ** NoSQL Databases The following experience is highly desirable; ** Working within academic research / strong academic background ** Working with Algorithms On top of the above, there is additionally plenty of scope to get involved in system design, requirements gathering and technology decision making. If interested in the above, please apply or message Hamish Niven at Cathcart Technology for more information.
