Skills/Qualifications
Redgate makes software to help companies and professionals get the most out of their databases. Our products are designed to work for everyone – from the smallest, single developer houses to Fortune 500 companies. We succeed by reliably solving our customers’ problems with ingeniously simple software.
We’re looking for experienced Software Engineers to join one of our product teams. If you’re passionate about writing great code, love working in a team, and want to shape the software you build, we want to hear from you.
At Redgate, we believe that the best software comes from engaging small teams with a clear purpose, freedom to act, and a drive to learn.
Development at Redgate
You’ll be involved in all stages of software development: from research calls with customers to pushing your code through our automated build system and making those all-important deployments.
Our primary language for development is C#, but there are TypeScript, Python and scripting languages such as PowerShell/bash to glue things together. Our tech stack spans desktop development (typically Electron), ASP.NET server stacks and even Kubernetes deployments. If you join Redgate, we don’t expect you to be an expert in everything, but you should feel confident in learning new technologies as needed (supported by our L&D oriented culture).
We've got some exciting technical challenges ahead of us as we continue to focus on broadening our database offerings. Some technical challenges to solve include how we build tools that work with multiple RDBMS, and how we should architect our systems to work as well in the cloud as they do locally. We are also moving from predominately Windows-based software to be platform-neutral. And these are just some of the challenging problems you could work on as Redgate grows.
Every software engineer gets all the hardware they need (fast machines and multiple monitors are standard), and freedom in choosing the software tools they’re comfortable with.
We take personal development seriously at Redgate. We run frequent lightning talks, open spaces (mini conferences run by Redgate engineers), and a yearly Down Tools Week. We have a healthy budget for attending conferences, and the last three years we’ve even held our own with all sessions run by Redgate employees. We even dedicate our Friday afternoons to personal development and continuous learning.
What Makes You a Redgate Software Engineer
- Excellent skills using a modern object-oriented language – we predominately use C#, but any similar language requires the skillset we’re looking for.

- You'll work about 40 hours per week, with flexible work time
- We dedicate Friday afternoons to personal development, community and innovation
- Salary is £45,000 to £55,000 (depending on experience)
