Who You'll Work For
Our client is a specialist consultancy operating at the forefront of precision medicine research. Based in Belfast, they work at the intersection of science and technology, building the cloud-based platforms and digital infrastructure that underpin their mission to bring better, safer medical solutions to market. It's a business where the technology genuinely matters, engineers have real influence, and the work you ship has a direct impact on outcomes that count.
What You'll Be Doing
As Senior Software Engineer, you'll be a central figure in the team — designing, building and maintaining high-performance, cloud-based applications using .NET (C#), .NET Core and Azure.

You'll manage and design MS SQL Server databases, implement Azure cloud services (App Services, Functions, Storage, DevOps), and participate in code reviews that keep the team's standards high.
Your Impact
In this role, you won't just be shipping code — you'll be shaping how a growing, mission-driven business builds its technology. Your architectural input will influence products used in precision medicine research, your mentorship will raise the capability of the wider team, and your stakeholder relationships will ensure the software function is embedded at the heart of the business.
