Software Engineer
Northern Ireland | Full‑time | Permanent
We're partnering with a high‑growth digital asset firm operating at the intersection of institutional finance and crypto markets - a company that has weathered multiple market cycles, built credibility in a volatile industry, and continues to establish long‑term partnerships across trading, risk, and treasury. This is a business where engineering is core to survival, not an afterthought.
They are now looking for a Software Engineer who wants to work on meaningful, production‑grade systems in a fast‑moving but disciplined engineering culture.
The Opportunity
This role sits at the heart of a technology function responsible for building enterprise‑grade systems that directly support trading desks, operational teams, and risk functions. The software you build will underpin real financial decision‑making, where reliability, precision, and robustness are essential.
You'll contribute to system architecture, data flow design, and the hands‑on implementation of tools, reporting pipelines, and operational services. This is not a feature‑factory environment - engineers here are encouraged to challenge assumptions, rethink approaches, and drive continuous improvement across the stack.
You'll work closely with front‑office stakeholders and senior leaders, gaining real visibility into how technology influences strategy in a sophisticated financial landscape.
What You'll Be Doing
- Designing and building enterprise‑level software systems used across trading, operations, and risk
- Developing internal tools, reporting capabilities, and data feeds that improve transparency and decision‑making
- Owning software quality, efficiency, performance, and operational resilience
- Contributing to cross‑company engineering initiatives as the organisation scales
- Partnering with senior stakeholders to ensure systems remain reliable, well‑maintained, and fit for purpose
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of commercial software engineering experience (Java preferred; C++ also considered)
- Solid grounding in computer science or related technical discipline
- Bachelor's or postgraduate degree from a well‑regarded university
- Experience building systems where reliability and quality are critical
- AWS experience or certification is a strong advantage
- A thoughtful engineering approach focused on clarity, quality, and maintainability
The Environment
You'll join a close‑knit, high‑trust engineering team where good ideas are heard, impact is visible, and substance matters more than ceremony. Engineers are empowered to shape how systems evolve, not simply execute decisions made elsewhere.
The company is committed to long‑term career development, offering opportunities to deepen technical skills, broaden domain knowledge, and influence architectural decisions as the organisation grows.
Flexible working is supported, and the culture is collaborative, informal, and focused on high‑quality outcomes.

These positions tend to move quickly - early interest is encouraged even if you're exploring multiple opportunities.
