*** Remote with occasional trips to their Central Edinburgh hub

Lorien's client, a fast-growing, global-reaching SAAS company with a great reputation in their domain, are currently looking to hire a Principal Software Engineer (from a C# , Python or Java background) to join their team, lead from the front, and take charge where it comes to the next version of their core business platform and its offerings (which will include AI, further cloud-based expansions, and more).

This would be a brilliant fit for someone with proven Object-Oriented expertise, a strong record of building end-to-end technical solutions very much from the ground up for third parties, and a career to date which has seen them tackle everything from requirements gathering through to coding, implementation and ongoing improvements.

This is a growing firm with great projects in the pipeline, happy to offer a range of incentives (including bonuses, remote working, private healthcare, recognition rewards, professional development and ongoing upskilling avenues), and friendly people to work with (ask us, we've placed a number of them ourselves!). Take a look and apply before it's too late:

Key Responsibilities:

Take the reins across the software development spectrum from gathering product/feature/architecture requirements and prioritising projects against roadmaps, to coding, architectural vision, reviewing other Software Engineers' work, and ensuring the team is performing well and running smoothly
Deliver against overarching business objectives, including ventures into Artificial Intelligence, additional Cloud based services, and the next big version of their key client-facing platform which you'll be directly responsible for delivering
Ensuring delivery output from your own team via performance reviews/mentoring/etc., as well as liaising with the wider multidisciplinary technical function and other teams to keep everyone up to date and align with business objectives
Ensuring Agile working and best practice is woven into the team, keeping aware of new trends and tech to improve as you go, and running standups and other meets to ensure all are on the same page and working to agreed standardsWhat they're looking for:

Proven track record in Software Development and proven record of working as a Principal Software Engineer / Principal Developer
Strong skills across C# / Python / Java (and willingness to pick up .Net if not worked with directly before)
JavaScript/React and HTML/CSS (though this is more backend leaning in nature)
Dealings across as many of the following as possible: .Net Core/ASP.Net, Azure/AWS, SQL Server/T-SQL, AI, Razor/Blazor
Demonstrable record of building technical solutions end-to-end and from the ground up for third parties
Strong grasp of Agile working, TDD, SOLID principles, and other processes/standardsIf you're looking to join a great firm with major expansion and evolution on the horizon, offering a host of benefits with staff at the centre such as remote working, bonuses and recognition rewards, healthcare, progression and more, apply now with your latest CV and let's have a chat.
