Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Mcgill is a Senior Backend Engineer based in Scotland with nine years of professional experience building scalable web platforms and integrations. Currently at Bumble, he combines hands-on backend expertise with a history of leading engineering teams and running his own software company, WhiteSpace Systems, which delivers rapid, bespoke solutions using a proprietary FileMaker framework. Throughout his career he has led complex platform migrations and integration projects—most notably overseeing major logistics platform consolidations at Shift and piloting an IKEA-integrated locker solution that became one of IKEA UK’s most successful pilots. He is comfortable across the full stack (React, Laravel, AWS) and routinely bridges product, DevOps, and client-facing delivery. Steven’s background in festival and media management systems, plus long-term work on CRM and rights management tools, gives him a knack for turning domain-specific workflows into efficient, production-grade software. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic technical lead who favors rapid delivery and deep client understanding over one-size-fits-all solutions.
