Job description
We're looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join our team in Belfast.
Our mission is to make it effortless for customers to bring content to life on screens everywhere, turning internal comms, social platforms and business dashboards into beautiful, dynamic visual experiences.
A big part of the challenge is designing interfaces that make complex information feel simple, meaningful and engaging at a glance.
In Belfast we constantly evolve : refining processes, elevating design standards and exploring where AI enhances workflows and the end-user experience. We work closely with Product Managers and Customer Support, keeping real user needs at the core of everything we build.
In this role you will
- Help build and deliver the APIs and infrastructure that powers our whole platform catalogue, including brand new integrations you design from scratch.
- Develop in TypeScript on Node and deploy to AWS, primarily with serverless tech like Lambda, DynamoDB and API Gateway.
- Design event-driven solutions that scale to millions of requests per day, and use top-of-the-line tools like Datadog and Sentry to monitor performance.
- Become a core member of the team, building tools and best practices to make it easier for developers across the company and even our customers to build their own ScreenCloud apps.
- Push us to experiment and try new techniques to constantly improve the quality of our platform (we're particularly interested in approaches to make useful monitoring effortless and maximise reliability).
- Collaborate with designers, testers and product owners to ensure the customer experience is perfect.
- Get stuck in on prototypes and MVPs to experiment with the constant stream of ideas for where we take digital screens next, then help get the best of these into the hands of real customers.
Requirements
-
You have experience building REST or GraphQL services, and consider how your API choices impact the clients that call them.
-
You might have worked with cloud providers like AWS and Azure in the past, or you're keen to learn more of how the platform itself can become a key part of the product.
-
You can diagram a solution and discuss the flows of data across it.
-
You understand that the user's experience, both in setting up an app and then seeing it on screen, is the north star metric for any work we do. The more complexity we can abstract away from them, the better our systems are.
-
You work best in small teams and deliver the highest quality code when you're surrounded by great people. In return you share your own learnings with the team to help us always improve. Bonus Skills
-
APIs built in any modern framework, whether that's Node with tools like Express or NestJS, or one of the many MVC flavour of frameworks in .NET, Rails, Java etc.
-
Working on modern webapps built with tools like React or Angular.
-
NoSQL experience with services like DynamoDB or MongoDB.
-
Database design with query and performance optimisation.
-
End-to-end testing with tools like Cypress, Selenium or Playwright.
-
Improving build and deploy tooling for reliability and performance.
