Edinburgh-based Software House that develops SaaS products for the Healthcare Industry with a variety of modern technologies is looking for a skilled Software Team Lead to join one of their Agile teams (hybrid working) - Opportunity to learn Elixir!
The organisation is well-known and has a very strong technical environment and reputation - everyone lives and breathes modern technology here. They develop large-scale SaaS products designed to improve efficiency and accountability within the healthcare industry, and they have quickly become a household name and a market leader within their field.
They have multiple development squads based out of Edinburgh, with each looking after one or two different products. They have several market-leading products live now that are widely used by millions. This role would involve joining an established squad - they work on products that aim to provide their customers more insight into their data. This team works with Elixir, Azure, Microservices, and TypeScript. However, Elixir experience isn't needed for this role - they're open to Engineers that have worked with other similar languages (F#, Scala, GoLang, Python, Ruby, etc).
In this role, you'll be working very closely with the previous Lead that has recently stepped up, so there will be someone on hand for a thorough handover. You'll be the direct line manager for a small Agile Development team (circa 3-6) made up of Software and Automation Engineers.
You'd be responsible for managing, leading, and developing the Engineers in your team - assisting them day to day, training, coaching and mentoring, conducting 1-1's, coming up with development plans, and much more. However, you'll also spend about 50% of your time doing hands-on development work - so you can keep your technical skills sharp and up to date. This also includes being involved in technical/architectural decisions for the project.
They place a strong importance on doing software development correctly here (from SOLID principles, Design Patterns, Restful APIs, Unit Testing, Test-Driven Development). Part of your role will involve ensuring your team follows these practices.
You'll ideally have experience with most of the following:
1. Previous Team Lead/Manager experience within a software setting
2. Experience with one of the following: Elixir, Scala, F#, GoLang, Python, Ruby, etc.
3. Cloud Services (ideally Azure)
4. Working with Databases (ideally SQL Server)
The following is highly desirable:
1. Microservices
2. DevOps tooling
Their offices are based in central Edinburgh where they support hybrid working, and you'll be expected onsite about twice a week. They offer very flexible hours, so you can have a lot of flexibility around start and finish times.
Salary for this role is roughly GBP65k to GBP75k (could be scope for more). On top of this, they also offer a strong package of benefits, which includes: 33 days holiday, pension, private medical and dental cover, long-term sickness leave, critical illness cover, life insurance, and much more.
If this opportunity sounds of interest and you match most of the skills, please apply or drop Doug at Cathcart Technology a message via LinkedIn to set up a chat.
