We’re proud to be working exclusively in partnership with a high-growth cloud security company that established its Northern Ireland engineering hub less than two years ago. Since launching locally, the team has grown to 40 engineers and is now entering a major scale-up phase following a $250 million investment earlier in the year.

As part of ambitious growth plans through 2026 and beyond, we’re hiring multiple Backend Software Engineers (Golang / Java) to join their expanding backend engineering group.

The Opportunity

In this role, you’ll work on technically complex, real-world problems every day building new, innovative capabilities while continuously improving and scaling existing systems.

You’ll operate in a modern, cloud-native environment and have genuine ownership over what you deliver, from early architectural design through to deployment, monitoring, and long-term optimisation in production.

The platform integrates deeply with AWS, GCP, and Azure, and makes heavy use of technologies such as:

• Golang
• Java
• Kubernetes
• Docker
• eBPF
• Distributed systems at scale

This is not a “ticket factory” role it’s an engineering-first environment where you’ll solve meaningful problems that directly impact global customers., This is a modern cloud security startup operating at runtime to protect customer infrastructure using deep system visibility and contextual data.

Unlike traditional tools, the platform leverages runtime insights and eBPF-powered sensors to identify and prioritise real risks enabling customers to detect threats, reduce risk exposure, and respond automatically at scale.

Despite being just over three years old locally, the business is already:

• Well-funded
• Commercially proven
• Scaling globally
• Backed by serious investment

It’s a rare opportunity to join early - but with strong financial backing and clear product-market fit., Phil has over 21 years’ experience delivering senior and specialist tech hires across the UK, Ireland, and the US, and is happy to advise on whether this role - or the wider market - is right for you.
