ABOUT US

We’re an award-winning enterprise software scale-up with high ambitions for growth. We recently won the ScotlandIS Digital Tech Enterprise 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.

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 roles at different levels - all open opportunities can be found on our careers page: https://dayshape.com/careers/

As part of our Engineering team, your key areas of focus will be enhancing product scalability and usability, helping consistently deliver features that support our customers’ success. As a senior engineer, you will work collaboratively with the rest of our cross-functional team to plan and deliver new features and enhancements. You will take ownership of features and technical initiatives and make sure they are successful, while keeping an eye on UX, accessibility and aesthetics.

• Support our product and engineering managers in prioritisation, scoping and leading delivery of product features
• Write complex, performant frontend business logic in JavaScript
• Write UI components using Vue.js

• Support, mentor and coach other members of the team
• Work with the rest of our engineering team to enhance scalability, performance and maintainability
