Department Overview

We’re looking for talented, hard working Computing Science graduates to join us at our Glasgow office and help us develop our cutting edge mobile application.

We offer full training and support, so new graduates are encouraged to apply.

Our ‘Pronto’ team is the largest supplier of mobile police apps in the UK, providing software to half of the UK’s 45 police forces - used by around 70,000 police officers on a daily basis.

Based in the West End of Glasgow, we currently have around 100 employees. Our team started as Kelvin Connect in 2002, a spin-out company from the University of Glasgow. Now, as part of Motorola Solutions, we continue to expand with future opportunities in the UK and beyond.
