The Opportunity


I'm currently partnering with a local, award-winning software company that delivers bespoke digital solutions for major clients across multiple industries. They're looking for a talented Senior Software Engineer to join their high-performing team.

This role will give you the chance to work on large-scale, cloud-based applications that make a real business impact. You'll be a key contributor in shaping backend systems and APIs, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and performant. You'll collaborate with engineers, designers, and product teams, while enjoying a supportive and flexible remote working environment.

What You'll Do

  • Design, develop, and maintain backend services using Node.js and TypeScript.
  • Build cloud-native applications leveraging Azure services (App Services, Functions, Cosmos DB, Kubernetes).
  • Take ownership of key systems and projects from design through to deployment.
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver innovative solutions for clients.
  • Break down complex requirements into clear, prioritised tasks.
  • Ensure system reliability, scalability, and maintainability through best practices.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a culture of technical excellence.

What We're Looking For

  • Strong JavaScript/TypeScript skills with Node.js experience on the server side.
    * Proven track record of delivering production-grade, maintainable software.
    * Solid understanding of system architecture and cloud-native design.
    * Hands-on experience with Azure cloud services (App Services, Functions, Cosmos DB, Kubernetes).
    * Knowledge of databases (SQL/NoSQL) and CI/CD pipelines.
    * Experience writing unit, integration, and functional tests.
    * Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
    * Collaborative mindset with the ability to mentor others.

Desirable:
* Experience working with APIs at scale.
* Familiarity with Agile methodologies.
* Exposure to front-end frameworks (React, Angular, etc.).
* Experience in high-availability or client-facing environments.

Why Join?

  • Competitive salary based on experience.
    * Participation in the HMRC-approved EMI share option scheme.
    * Hybrid and flexible working options aligned with a remote-first culture.
    * 25 days' annual leave + bank holidays.
    * Private healthcare and a pension scheme with contributions up to 8%.
    * Eyecare support and wellbeing benefits.
    * Access to training and professional development budgets.
    * A collaborative, supportive, and innovation-driven environment with highly experienced colleagues.
    * Access to co-working spaces across the UK, including Belfast and London.
    * Top-spec computer equipment and home-office hardware to enable productive remote work.

This role is perfect for candidates who want to take ownership, work on large-scale systems, and thrive in a flexible, supportive, and highly technical environment.
