About us

We’re an award-winning enterprise software scale-up and we have high ambitions for growth. Being recognised as Scotland’s fastest growing tech company in the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 awards in 2019, and again in 2020, shows that we are on the right track!

Back in 2013, our founders saw the potential of AI technology to help large and complex organisations plan and manage their people and projects with ease.  This resulted in them building Dayshape in 2015, which is an intelligent planning platform that helps professional services organisations optimise their workforce.

Our team lives our values, and we're dedicated to making sure our friendly, inclusive environment grows with us.

Working Details

This is a full-time role (37.5 hours per week). We’ve been working remotely throughout the coronavirus pandemic, but normally we’re based in our CodeBase office in Edinburgh. We typically work from 09:00 - 17:30 from Monday to Friday, though we can be a little flexible around this, just let us know.

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 we build Dayshape on a technical level. We're doing well, but there's lots more to do in order to maintain the high bar and pace that we've set.

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.
