Job Specifications

Software Engineering Manager required to join a growing software security organisation, based from Glasgow.

The company
They are a software security organisation of close to 300 people, with offices across the UK and wider Europe. The products they create are security driven, and with an ever stronger focus on this across the globe, the business is profiting. They are starting to branch out into the America’s and East Asia also, with this role a result of growth.

You will be working across a small team and will report into the Director of Engineering, also based from Glasgow. They are a fairly flexible organisation and have Developers across the UK – ideally able to get to Glasgow 1 or 2 days a week. However, as they are a hybrid business, they do look at each individual on a case-by-case business.

The role
A newly created position due to growth and promotion, you will initially be Engineering Manager across a team of 5 Software Engineers, with scope to grow into multiple teams in the near future (if you so desire). You will likely be from a technical software background, but this role doesn’t require any hands-on coding. It is likely you will have been in a Team Lead or Management position before, but this doesn’t have to have been for many years – as long as you feel you can take the step up to manage this team and be comfortable doing so.

Like the majority of Engineering Management roles, there isn’t likely to be too much time to code, so that is not a necessity (although they can make it work if you desire). The focus of this role is to guide and develop the team, making sure they work as well and efficiently as possible, whilst creating a great environment to operate in. On top of this, you will aid in Architecture and System Design as well as Project Delivery – a fairly typical Engineering Manager role.

Due to the diverse nature of the tech stack, the following area of experience would be useful (all not required):
** An understanding of security principles or certifications such as; authentication, encryption, ISO27001 etc
** Knowledge of Mobile App or Android/iOS development; Android Studio, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C etc
** A background in development across C/C++

This role is very diverse and interesting in equal measure. You will be joining both a growing company and software engineering function, starting a journey on attacking new markets.

If interested, please apply or call Hamish at Cathcart Technology for a chat.

About the Company

Cathcart Technology is an independent, agile, specialist technology recruitment company, headquartered in Edinburgh. Like all good start-up stories, we were founded in 2009 by two industry experts who saw a better way of doing things, in what was already a crowded market. Initially from a two-man cupboard in Edinburgh to a 40 strong team in the heart of George Street, it’s been a hell of a journey. Bootstrapped all the way (start-up speak for no outside investment or loans), we’ve succeeded due to our hard work, honesty... Know more
