• Hybrid working, Belfast based
• Salary up to £65,000
About the Company
Our client is a world leading technology organisation operating at significant global scale — 60 offices, 27 countries, over 5,300 people. Their engineering teams build and maintain business critical systems that process enormous volumes of data and transactions daily, and they take the quality of that engineering seriously. Self organising, cross functional Agile teams, a genuine focus on cloud native architecture and automation, and a culture built around continuous improvement and knowledge sharing. This is not a company where engineers are told what to build and left to get on with it — they are involved in shaping technical direction from day one.
Why Work Here?
This is a company that is genuinely investing in Belfast. They have hired 12 engineers here already this year — not as a cost saving exercise, but because they are building serious engineering capability in Northern Ireland for the long term. The Belfast team is not a satellite office doing maintenance work. It is a core part of a global engineering organisation tackling complex, large scale problems with modern technology and real autonomy.
This particular role sits within a brand new team building a next generation platform in direct partnership with Amazon Web Services. You would be working alongside AWS engineers, learning from some of the best technical minds in the industry, on a greenfield build at global scale. If you are a senior engineer who wants to work somewhere that takes engineering seriously, gives you the scope to influence how things are built, and surrounds you with people who care about the craft, this is worth exploring.

• Take full ownership of design, development, testing and deployment of software across the team

• Lead conversations around estimation, challenge requirements and foster potential solutions
• Contribute to meaningful conversations about wider system architecture with engineers and leads
• Evolve systems towards target state architecture through refactoring and prioritisation of deliveries
• Work closely with Principal Engineers, Architects and Leads to ensure successful deployment into production environments
