Software Engineer (Java & JavaScript) - Tech for Good
A ‘Tech for good’ organization based in Edinburgh is looking for a collaborative Software Engineer (with experience in Java and JavaScript) to join their hybrid team. Work with modern technologies, in a great culture, with amazing benefits.
About the Role
They’ve been operating very successfully for several years now and they offer an award-winning service that helps thousands of people every day. This is a great opportunity to work on a series of products that benefit so many throughout the UK. They’ve also experienced consistent year-on-year growth, both in their customer base and their employee headcount, and they have an ambitious roadmap for the years ahead.
You’d be joining one of their Agile squads, consisting of roughly five experienced Software Engineers (it’s a great learning environment). You’ll be working directly on a business-critical platform. They do have multiple squads based out of this location too, so there’s lots of opportunity for a varied workload, and a chance to pick up different tools and technologies.

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.
Tech Stack
They work with a really modern tech stack: Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, Microservices, Kubernetes, Kafka, AWS, and React.js + TypeScript. Although experience with all of this is great, the organization is more interested in collaborative Engineers who can bring strong soft skills to the team, so they're flexible on specific technologies.
Additionally, they place a really big emphasis on following best practices and software fundamentals, and are looking for Engineers that have worked in a similar environment. They’re also very focused on testing, where you’ll regularly follow TDD, so they’re looking for Engineers who value and understand the importance of quality code.
Key Requirements
You’ll ideally have experience with most of the following:
- Java (ideally Spring Boot)
- Microservices
- Test Driven Development
- Cloud Services (ideally AWS)
- Working with Databases (ideally PostgreSQL)
Experience with the following is highly desirable:

Compensation
In return they’re able to offer a salary from £40k to £60k based on experience with a strong benefits package to match, which includes:
- 35-hour working week
- Private healthcare
- 15% pension
