Software Engineering Manager with a Front End focus required for a globally known software business, based from Edinburgh. You will be working on developing world-class products and services in a hugely innovative environment.
The company:
The business has been going for nearly 20 years and has over 1,000 staff. They operate across a very specific area of online sales and are focused on travel. They have offices in London and Scotland, and are continuing to grow and be productive, even in a tough market at the moment.
They are one of Scotland's best-known tech organisations, thriving on a positive and welcoming culture, making it one of the best places to work. They are a hybrid organisation and ask all employees to be in the office twice a week in Edinburgh - the specific days are flexible.
The role:
You will be managing a predominantly Agile and small team of 7 Engineers (8 including you), mainly Full-Stack Developers (with a FE focus) of varying levels. The team is currently without a Manager, due to some internal promotions, and they need someone to help steer the ship. They are looking for people from a strong and innovative Software Engineering background and experience managing small and Agile teams. An understanding of Software Architecture and systems design would be beneficial. The key focus is on the development of the team and ensuring they grow as individuals.
As you will be working in a small team but a larger organisation, strong stakeholder management skills, up to and including board level, are essential.
The teams largely use a combination of React, TypeScript, and JavaScript, and it is likely that you will come from this background and have managed teams in this stack. Although it is a management position, the ability to still look at Code Reviews and be a little hands-on and technical would be beneficial. A general Front End focus and strong management experience are key for this position.
Package & Office/Location:
You can expect all the perks of a modern software company, including a stunning and newly upgraded office in the city centre, breakout rooms, pool tables, regular social events, top-of-the-range kit, and a very flexible approach to working hours and work-life balance.
The package on offer is strong overall, with great benefits. We are able to offer a base salary in the region of £70-80k depending on your experience/skills, as well as a few different bonuses per year and other flexible benefits.
This is an opportunity to work for one of Scotland's best tech employers. If you are a Software Engineering Manager/Team Lead keen to make your mark in a world-leading company, get in touch with Hamish at Cathcart Technology for a more detailed conversation.
