Job description

About us 

We’re an award-winning enterprise software scale-up with high ambitions for growth. We recently won the ScotlandIS Digital Tech Scale-up Business of the Year award and have previously been recognised as Scotland’s fastest-growing tech company in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 for three consecutive years.   

Dayshape is an advanced resource management solution, incorporating AI and intelligent automation to help professional services firms optimise their workforce like never before.  It’s built to handle large, complex, and ever-changing requirements with ease. 

Our customers include accountancy firms from the Big Four and global top 10, and Dayshape is used in more than 50 countries across five continents. Our target customers are global firms, international networks, and large nationwide or regional organisations, if they’re big enough to have the challenges that Dayshape can solve. 

As a company, we live our values every day and we're committed to making sure our friendly and inclusive environment grows with us. 

About the role  

We've come a long way in a short time, but there's still so much more we can do. We have grand ambitions to make Dayshape the most scalable, flexible and rapid to deploy solution on the market, and we’re not there yet. That’s where you come in. 

As part of our Engineering team, you will be delivering UI-driven features that help our customers schedule thousands of hours of work with ease.  You will help us build scalability, resilience and high performance into the product, all while keeping an eye on UX, accessibility and aesthetics. 

 
What you’ll do 
  • Develop new features and enhancements 
  • Write complex, performant frontend business logic in JavaScript 
  • Write and upgrade UI components using JavaScript and Vue.js 
  • Work with the rest of our engineering team to enhance scalability, performance and maintainability 
  • Support our culture of learning, development and teamwork 
  • Be involved in the entire life-cycle of features, including idea creation, deployment, and longer term updates and enhancements  
 
About you 
  • Demonstrable experience in a similar commercial software engineer role building technically complex products
  • A confident JavaScript developer, happy writing both vanilla JS and modern frameworks (Vue.js in particular) 
  • Experience working in a product development environment 
  • Comfortable writing unit tests and end-to-end automated tests 
  • Passionate about shipping a product you can be proud of 
  • Well-informed on good software development principles, and able to implement them pragmatically 
  • An excellent and kind communicator, able to raise awkward questions kindly, and to recognise when you need help 
  • Experience collaborating with others - you will be working closely with engineering, product and QA colleagues 
  • Adaptable, and motivated to try/learn new things 
  • Great at breaking down large tasks into manageable chunks 
  • Able to see the Big Picture - how your decisions affect your colleagues and your users 
Bonus points if you have 
  • Experience working with agile development teams on large products 
  • Experience working with complex web interfaces with large DOM views 
  • Experience writing tests in Jest, Cypress or Playwright 
  • Experience with the rest of our stack: C#, .Net (+Core), Java, RabbitMQ, SQL Server, and/or Microsoft Azure 
  • Experience working in (or with) the Professional Services industry 
 
What you’ll get 
  • Starting salary between £38,000 and £44,000, depending on experience  
  • Earning potential in the Software Engineer salary band up to £48,500  
  • At least £1,000 per year to spend on professional and personal development   
  • 33 days' holiday per year (including bank holidays), increasing by 1 day each year to a maximum of 40 days   
  • Paid four week sabbatical in your fifth anniversary year on top of your holiday entitlement   
  • Enhanced family leave policies   
  • Private healthcare and rewards through Vitality   
  • Income protection and death in service cover   
  • Matched 5% auto-enrolment workplace pension scheme   
  • Access to wellbeing offerings, such as our Employee Assistance Programme and a dedicated counselling service   
  • Innovation Week twice a year - a chance to experiment and work off-project
  • Volunteering time – up to 20 hours a year to participate in volunteer work.   
  • Weekly All Hands meeting for inspiration and over-communication   
  • Time out of the working week for team socials each month, with a mix of in-person and virtual options: past events include hiking, family BBQs, board games and at-home cocktail classes!   
  • Genuinely nice, smart people to work with, who are excited about growing our company 

 

Working Details 

This is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week). We typically work from 09:00 - 17:30 from Monday to Friday, though we can be flexible around this, just let us know. 

We’re ideally looking for someone in/around Edinburgh, though we’re open to the possibility of this being a remote role (as long as you're in the UK). We're making the most of hybrid working, so you won't need to come into the office everyday (unless you want to!). 

We don't mandate required office time, but we find that most of the team enjoy working from home 3-4 days a week, and come into our office to connect with each other, make use of space, and for meetings. 

 

Join the team! 

Equality of opportunity is more than just a responsibility: we believe it’s a huge advantage to welcome a variety of experiences and perspectives into the team. Diversity is a great asset and, as such, we strongly encourage applications from any background. 

This is your opportunity to really influence how we get things done, and how our product develops to meet our customers’ needs. We're doing well, but there's lots more to do in order to maintain the high bar and pace that we've set. 

If your experience isn't an exact match for this job description, but you have transferrable skills/experience that you think would be a great fit, please outline this in a cover letter. Everyone here is growing personally as the company grows, so if that sounds like something you’d like to be part of, we’d love to see your application. We are also currently hiring across the Engineering department, with multiple roles across our tech stack and at different levels - all open opportunities can be found on our careers page: https://dayshape.com/careers/

*Please note the successful candidate for this role will be subject to background checks and will have an opportunity to declare anything to us beforehand*
