Software Developer – TMS (Thom Micro Systems)
Location: Larbert, Stirlingshire (Hybrid – 2 days per week in the office)
Experience: Recent Graduate to 5 Years' Experience
Type: Full Time, Permanent
Build Software That Makes a Real Difference
At TMS (Thom Micro Systems), we've been developing business-critical software for over 40 years. Our flagship product, Elite Contract Costing, is a market-leading solution used by construction and contracting businesses throughout the UK to manage contracts, costs, purchasing, billing, reporting, and profitability. The software has evolved continuously over decades, embracing new technologies while remaining at the heart of our customers' operations.
We're looking for an enthusiastic and adaptable Software Developer to join our team and help shape the future of Elite Contract Costing.
Why This Role Is Different
Many development jobs focus on a small part of a system. At TMS, you'll be involved in the entire software development lifecycle.
From discussing new ideas with colleagues and customers, to designing solutions, writing code, testing, releasing, and supporting deployments, you'll see your work make a genuine impact. You'll have the opportunity to influence the direction of the product, contribute ideas, and help drive the growth of both the software and the company.
We’re more interested in how you approach problems than whether you’ve worked with a particular technology before so if you're curious, analytical, and enjoy understanding how customers’ businesses work, then this could be the perfect role for you.

· Designing and implementing new features
· Working closely with colleagues to understand business requirements

Experience
We welcome applications from:
* Recent graduates with a relevant degree and strong programming ability
* Developers with a few years of commercial experience
* Self-motivated individuals who can demonstrate technical ability and a passion for software development

Experience with some of the following would be beneficial, but is not essential:
* C#
* VB.NET
