Software Engineer

Our client is seeking an experienced Full Stack Engineer to help build and scale a data-driven technology platform. Working closely with engineering, data, product and machine-learning colleagues, you will develop the back-end services, APIs, cloud-based data pipelines and customer-facing functionality that support the organisation's forecasting product.

The successful candidate must be able to demonstrate ownership of at least one end-to-end software system taken from initial design through to production. Hands-on experience building data pipelines within a cloud environment is also a key requirement.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast-growing business at an early stage, take ownership of meaningful technical challenges and influence how the product and engineering function develop. The role is primarily focused on Python-based back-end and systems development, with some exposure to front-end technologies.

Job Responsibilities

• Design, develop and maintain scalable back-end services and RESTful APIs.
• Take ownership of software systems and features from initial design through development, testing, deployment and production support.
• Build and improve cloud-based data pipelines supporting the ingestion, transformation and delivery of data.
• Develop reliable end-to-end services spanning APIs, data workflows, databases and cloud deployment.
• Build modern web applications and contribute across the wider technology stack where required.
• Collaborate with software engineers, data scientists and product colleagues to deliver new features and platform improvements.
• Develop and improve cloud infrastructure, deployment pipelines and engineering tooling.
• Build secure, reliable and maintainable applications capable of supporting a growing customer base.
• Optimise application performance, scalability and system reliability.
• Contribute to technical architecture decisions and improve engineering standards and best practices.
• Participate in code reviews, automated testing and continuous integration and delivery activities.

Experience Required

• Minimum of two years' commercial software engineering experience.
• A strong foundation in computer science, software engineering and system design.
• Demonstrable experience building an end-to-end software system or substantial feature from design through to production.
• Hands-on experience designing and building data pipelines within GCP, AWS or Azure.
• Strong understanding of back-end development, RESTful APIs and modern application architecture.
• Experience working with relational databases and scalable application design.
• Practical knowledge of CI/CD, version control, testing and production deployment.
• Ability to design, build, deploy and support reliable software solutions while balancing technical quality with business priorities.
• Experience working independently and taking ownership of complex technical problems.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working alongside engineering, product or data teams.
• Willingness to contribute across the full stack, although deep front-end expertise is not essential.
• Exposure to modern front-end frameworks such as React, Vue or Angular.
• Experience with Docker, Kubernetes or comparable container technologies.
• Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
• Experience with monitoring, logging and observability platforms.
• Familiarity with authentication, security and production-grade application design.
• Exposure to MLOps, machine-learning systems or data-intensive applications.
• Experience with event-driven architecture, serverless services or near-real-time processing.
• Previous experience within a start-up, scale-up, SaaS or product-focused technology environment.
• Evidence of strong personal projects, hackathons, open-source contributions or other technically substantial work.
• Interest in progressing towards technical leadership as the engineering team grows.

Educational Requirements

• A third-level qualification in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology or a related discipline.
• Equivalent professional experience and strong practical evidence of software engineering capability will also be considered.
• Permanent, full-time position.
• Fully on-site in Dublin City Centre.
• 25 days' annual leave.
• Company events.
• Working directly alongside CTO and CEO.
• Opportunity to work with modern technologies on complex technical challenges.
• Scope to influence technical architecture, engineering standards and product direction.
• Potential progression towards a Lead Engineer or broader engineering leadership role as the business grows.
