The Blue Systems office in Edinburgh has moved across The Meadows to the Grassmarket to a larger office which is also surrounded on two sides by curious artist collectives and the occasional hipster café. Hosted in Edinburgh's new technology incubator Codebase we are in another building which is nicer on the inside looking out, this time with a view of our local volcano Arthur's Seat.

I'd like to thank Cloudsoft for squatting in the office with me, making software to manage your applications in the cloud they are hiring now if you fancy a job in the most beautiful city in the world..

In terms of skill set we are looking for, the main thing is that they are
good software engineers rather than specific skills. However, here are a
few potential areas:
1. Experienced Java programmer (and/or other languages a big plus; Java
is not a pre-requisite).
2. Devops experience.
3. Good sys admin skills.
4. Distributed computing (i.e. understands the architectural
considerations etc).
5. Cloud/virtualization.
6. Javascript / web-dev (for one of them, perhaps)
