Senior Android Developer for a medical technology company in Edinburgh (can work remotely in the UK).

The company are an award-winning MedTech company that provide both the public and medical professionals with simple, fast mobile applications that allow for affordable and accessible diagnosis of common medical issues.

Having secured impressive funding in the past, they've successfully secured more funding and are looking to grow their Mobile Development team off the back of this. This is a chance to join a company that is making a positive impact on society.

What will I be doing?

Great question!

You'll work across a few different projects which are a mix of brown and greenfield. They're building some SDKs so their app can be consumed by other companies, have their main Android app which is almost completely Kotlin now and have some other interesting projects on the horizon. They're in the process of moving over to Jetpack Compose, so if you have any experience of this, it'd be a massive bonus.

Although much of your time will be spent working on their Android applications, there is the opportunity to do some work on their iOS apps too, so experience working across Android and iOS would really make you stand out. They've also got a computer vision team, so any interest or experience in this field would also be interesting to them.

Who am I?

It's obviously pretty essential for that you've came from an Android Development background working with Kotlin. A Senior Developer to them is someone that is able to architect and deliver new features as well as mentor less experienced Developers. They are also happy to consider someone that is on the verge of mid & senior that is keen to take the step up.

They've built a great culture in the company, so away from the tech side, they're looking for people that will fit in well to that. As mentioned, they like people that can be autonomous and like people that come in and put their own ideas forward. As an example, the majority of their CI stuff has been implemented by someone that came into the business and was passionate about it.

Who will I be working with?

You'll obviously work very closely with the rest of the mobile team and especially with the iOS team. By the end of this recruitment drive, they'll have 3 iOS Developers, 3 Android Developers and a Mobile Lead.

You'll be working underneath an experienced Mobile Lead and alongside another experienced Senior Android Developer, who you'll be able to get guidance and advice from. Having helped the company to find the Mobile Lead, I know that they're super friendly and very strong technically too, so it's a great opportunity to learn.

With social good at the heart of what they do, not only are you getting a chance to work for what in my opinion will be one of the most exciting companies in Scotland, you'll also have a positive impact on the world.

How much will I be getting paid and where will I be based?

There is a budget of up to £58,000 for the role but they could potentially stretch this for someone spot on. With added benefits which include a strong holiday package, career growth and the chance to work on something that genuinely matters!

They're a remote-first company with shared office space in Edinburgh, with most of the tech team being in Edinburgh as well. Ideally, they'll find someone that is based near Edinburgh but they're more than happy to consider fully remote people too. The team do try and meet up for meetings once per month in Edinburgh so ideally, you'll be flexible enough to get involved in that. Interviews and on-boarding will all be done remotely.

If you want to work for a company that is making healthcare more accessible for everyone, then please apply and/or get in touch with Jack Steven at Cathcart Technology

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
