What’s the Role?
We’re on the lookout for passionate individuals to join a Software Engineering team in Edinburgh. This is a full-time salaried role working on complex, meaningful projects. You’ll begin with structured training in C++, then be deployed into a live engineering environment where you’ll continue to grow and learn on the job.
We’re working closely with the hiring manager, and they’re open to a range of backgrounds — if you’re naturally analytical, curious, and love solving problems, we want to hear from you.

Have not travelled outside the UK for more than 4 consecutive weeks in the past 5 years.

Ideal Backgrounds Might Include:
Hobbyist Programmers – played with Raspberry Pi, Arduino, or built your own apps or bots
Technicians or Engineers – with experience in electronics, radio systems, or embedded software
Numerical Thinkers – analysts, physicists, or mechanical engineers who’ve worked with data, algorithms, or tools like Python, Scipy/Numpy
️ IT Professionals – with scripting skills, DevOps knowledge, or experience with APIs, web systems, or dashboards
Team Facilitators – with communication, mentoring or scrum leadership skills and a bit of technical curiosity
You Don’t Need:
Formal software qualifications
Commercial programming experience
A polished CV
Just curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a bit of natural problem-solving ability.
