Job Specifications

An established UK tech consultancy is expanding its engineering function and is looking for several Senior Software Engineers (.Net OR TypeScript) to join during an exciting growth phase. The company delivers cloud-native solutions using modern technologies and supports remote-first working across Scotland.

Having operated successfully for several years, they’re now investing heavily in building out their Scottish engineering presence, making this a great time to join and help shape a growing function.

Engineering excellence sits at the core of the company. They work with modern technologies and are looking for engineers who value strong software fundamentals, maintain high coding standards, and enjoy keeping up with evolving tech trends.

Their tech stack is broad, though current projects are heavily focused on Microsoft technologies and TypeScript (React / Node). As projects are delivered end-to-end, teams work with a DevOps mindset — “You build it, you own it” — meaning engineers are actively involved with cloud platforms and infrastructure as code throughout delivery.

The variety of project work means there’s strong opportunity to learn new technologies, gain exposure to multiple industries, and take on additional technical or leadership responsibilities over time. The organisation promotes a collaborative environment where learning happens through hands-on delivery and shared experience.

You’ll ideally bring experience in most of the following:

Strong programming experience with .NET
Good JavaScript / TypeScript experience (ideally React / Node)
Cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure or GCP
Infrastructure as Code (Terraforms and Kubernetes preferred)
Microservices architecture

Highly desirable experience includes:

Previous work within a technical consultancy
Software architecture or project leadership exposure
Experience with a variety of programming languages (Python, Kotlin)

This role would suit someone who enjoys solving complex problems, influencing technical direction, and continuing to grow their career within a collaborative consultancy environment.

The company supports remote-first working across Scotland, with engineers aligned to their London tech hub. You’d typically visit the office once a month for team collaboration and project kick-offs.

In return, they offer a salary of £60k–£75k (could be scope for more) plus a strong benefits package.

About the Company

Cathcart Technology is an independent, agile, specialist technology recruitment company, headquartered in Edinburgh. Like all good start-up stories, we were founded in 2009 by two industry experts who saw a better way of doing things, in what was already a crowded market. Initially from a two-man cupboard in Edinburgh to a 40 strong team in the heart of George Street, it’s been a hell of a journey. Bootstrapped all the way (start-up speak for no outside investment or loans), we’ve succeeded due to our hard work, honesty... Know more
