Graduate Software Engineer

If you’ve spent evenings and weekends building your own apps, tools or side projects simply because you wanted to, this is worth a read. You’ll join a small engineering team working across the full stack, picking up real features from day one rather than sitting through a long graduate scheme. You’ll work closely with the founders and senior engineers, so you’ll see how product decisions get made and have a say in them. People who thrive here are curious, self-starting and happy to own a problem from idea through to release., * Build and ship features across the front end and back end using React, TypeScript and Node

• Own small parts of the product end to end, from first idea to release
• Collaborate with the founders on what to build next and why
• Write clean, tested code and take part in code reviews
• Fix bugs and improve performance based on real user feedback
• Prototype new ideas quickly to test whether they’re worth pursuing
• Contribute to technical decisions as the product and team grow
• Learn from senior engineers and share what you pick up with the team

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related subject, or equivalent self-taught experience
• Projects you’ve built on your own outside of coursework, with code or a live product you can show
• Working knowledge of JavaScript and/or TypeScript
• Some hands-on experience with React or Node
• An entrepreneurial mindset… you spot problems and go and fix them without being asked
• Based in or around Belfast, able to work hybrid, with the right to work in the UK

Desirable / Nice to Have:

My client is a small, product-led tech start-up based in Belfast. The team is lean, moves quickly and ships often, so everyone has a direct hand in what gets built. It’s the kind of place where good ideas get tried rather than talked about in meetings.
