Recognized as Scotland’s fastest-growing tech company in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 for three consecutive years, we’ve consistently proven our ability to innovate and deliver real impact—and we’re always looking for like-minded people to join us.
At Dayshape, our purpose is to improve people’s working lives, and our culture is an important driving force in helping us to do just that. We’re a friendly, inclusive, and ambitious team—driven by our values and a shared commitment to success. If you’re ready to join a fast-growing, high-impact company that’s reimagining resource management, then let’s talk.

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.
