Senior Backend Engineer (Typescript)

I'm working with a well-established technology company in Belfast that is continuing to grow its engineering team and invest in modern technology.

They're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team and work on the development of large-scale applications and services. This would suit someone who enjoys being hands-on, likes solving complex technical problems and wants to have a real say in how solutions are designed and built.

What you'll be doing

• Developing and improving large-scale software applications

• Working across backend services with some full-stack exposure

• Getting involved in technical design and architecture

• Working with modern cloud and container technologies

• Helping improve development practices and engineering standards

• Working closely with other engineers, product and technical teams

• Taking ownership of projects and seeing them through from idea to delivery

• Supporting and mentoring other developers where appropriate

What we're looking for

You don't need to tick every box, but ideally you'll have:

• 5+ years' commercial software development experience

• Strong experience with TypeScript

• Experience working with microservices

• Good knowledge of Docker and Kubernetes

• Experience working with AWS or another major cloud platform

• Strong understanding of software design and architecture

• A genuine interest in building reliable, scalable software

Why consider it?

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants more than just a coding role. You'll have the chance to own projects, influence technical decisions and work alongside a strong engineering team.

The company is also embracing AI-assisted development, so it's a good environment for engineers who are interested in how AI can improve the way software is built.
