Their office is based in Glasgow city centre, walking distance from both Central Station and Queen Street - like most they work on a hybrid basis, with a couple of days on site per week (however they do have some flex on this).

They've got great staff retention - a testament to the good working environment and interesting technical work, in addition to this they offer a comprehensive benefits package including; Bonus, Private Medical Insurance, Life Assurance, Income Protection and Contributory Pension - this is all on top off a competitive salary (£50k to £70k).
