From Backend Engineers to Product and Delivery Leaders

Specialist Software Engineering Recruitment

From core development to product and delivery, software teams need people who can move quickly and make sound technical decisions. MCS Group supports software engineering recruitment across the full lifecycle, helping businesses secure talent that performs under pressure.

Built for Teams Who Ship Real Software

Recruiting Software Engineers Across Modern Tech Stacks

Whether you’re hiring or exploring your next move, software engineering today is defined by speed, complexity and constant change. Backend developer jobs now demand more than framework familiarity. Frontend and UI engineers are expected to balance performance, accessibility and scale. Full-stack engineers are stretched across APIs, cloud infrastructure and delivery deadlines. Mobile and product-adjacent roles sit under the same pressure.

MCS Group supports software engineering recruitment across the UK, Ireland and the USA, working with teams building in Java, Python, .NET, JavaScript and modern cloud-native stacks. Our specialist recruiters understand how engineering teams actually work, from system design and debugging through to release cycles and delivery trade-offs. We connect experienced leaders and next-generation engineers with roles where the code matters, decisions are clear and progress is real.

Trusted by Engineering Teams Under Pressure

From early-stage teams to established engineering organisations, we help hire software engineers and delivery professionals who can step into live systems and make an impact quickly. Our recruiters specialise across software disciplines, working closely with teams to understand the technical environment, delivery pressures and experience needed before a search begins.

    When technical interviews don’t reflect the day job

    Many software teams struggle to assess real-world engineering ability through interviews alone. We work with clients to shape hiring processes that reflect how engineers actually design, build and support systems in production.

    When job titles hide the real scope of the role

    Backend, frontend and full-stack roles often carry expectations that are never written down. We help align role scope, seniority and ownership before searches begin, so candidates and teams are working to the same brief.
