Job Description

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to become the first technical hire in our Belfast office. This is a unique opportunity to play a foundational role in shaping both the engineering culture and technical direction of a growing team.

About the Role

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services using TypeScript and Node.js
  • Contribute to frontend development where needed, ensuring seamless full‑stack delivery
  • Architect and deploy cloud‑based solutions (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
