Established Tech Organisation based in Glasgow are looking for a Lead Developer to join their Agile function. Opportunity to lead and shape the work on a brand-new SaaS product, with modern technology. The organisation have been running successfully now for years and currently undergoing a digital transformation, as they're looking to really modernise their offerings. They're looking for a couple of key leadership hires to help catapult this vision forward. The organisation have a couple of popular products that are used worldwide (UK, Europe, US and Canada), and have very recently gone to production with a brand new product they believe could be their next 'big thing', it's a cloud-based platform with AI functions, and a lot of their customer base has already expressed interest in this - you'll largely be working on this. In this role, you'll be tasked to lead a squad of 5 consisting of Software Engineers and Testers.

However, you'll have real autonomy in this role where you're able to suggest and implement technologies you believe would help benefit the product. You'll ideally have commercial experience with the following; Software Architecture Cloud Services (ideally Azure, but open to AWS and GCP) Strong programming experience with C# Full Stack Development with modern JS libraires (Vue, React or Angular) The following is highly desirable; Working with SaaS Products DevOps / SRE experience Interest or experience in AI This role would suit an ambitious Senior Software Engineer or experienced Technical Lead looking to join a small product function, where you'll be given autonomy to really shape what the company believe to be their next flagship product. Culture is at the heart of this organisation, where they truly embody their values and as a technical leader within the business, you'll be responsible for fostering this within the team - where you'll promote a mantra of collectiveness, openness and transparency. Their offices are based in central Glasgow, where it's walkable from city centre, they also have good transport links and onsite parking - so it's caters to most! The organisation support hybrid working, where they're ideally looking for three days onsite per week. In return, they're offering a salary of roughly £60k to £75k for this role (could be scope for more) with good benefits to match. Additionally, as the company are undergoing a digital transformation, there is a real opportunity for rapid career progression here if you impress. If you're keen to find out more, and think you match most of the criteria please apply or give Douglas Paget at Cathcart Technology a call. JBRP1_UKTJ

Their offices are based in central Glasgow , where it's walkable from city centre, they also have good transport links and onsite parking - so it's caters to most! The organisation support hybrid working , where they're ideally looking for three days onsite per week.
