Ember is going through an exciting and adventurous stage of growth right now and we are looking for Senior Software Engineer who can come on board to compliment our team and hit the ground running.
We are offering a great opportunity for someone to come into our business and really define their own role within the company. We are open to the level of experience you have and instead we will be looking more at how you will fit into our culture and our way of working, although some experience is absolutely necessary.
Our passion is how technology can make a difference in the world and we thrive on delivering projects with real purpose. Our business model combines client work along with investing in our own internal digital products which we have done at a considerable level over the last 4 years. A good example of this is The Feel Good Hub which has recently launched.
We have a very flat management structure and are a small, informal and extremely close and experienced team. We are looking for someone to come into the company and own the projects they work on in every aspect of its lifecycle from design to delivery. There will at times be a bit of a hard graft but you will have freedom and autonomy to affect change at every level and from this grow as an engineer and a person.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our technologies include highly scalable online services and web/mobile apps along with heavy R&D problem solving in a variety of different sectors. We don’t shy away from hard work and complex problems. As an essential skill you must have demonstrable experience of building systems in Laravel and any experience in microservices and API driven applications are a bonus.
If you feel that you are a strong developer who thrives under pressure and can also efficiently manage your own time effectively then we would be interested in speaking to you. You must be able to articulate your decisions convincingly to others in the wider project team and construct creative solutions to any problems.
We are based in Glenrothes, Fife, but we do operate a work-from-home policy when possible. The majority of the team gather once or twice a week for meetings in the office and then work at home the rest of the time, communicating via Slack and Google Meet.
