  • Proposing solutions to code or architectural problems in a high-traffic environment
  • Doing Root-Cause-Analysis (RCA) exercises and leading/contributing to postmortems for incidents.
  • Helping and training peers
  • Being part of an on-call rota to react to any alerts our monitoring system raises during and outside office hours.
What you already bring to the table:
  • University degree in a related field
  • Experience in a high-traffic distributed architecture
  • Experience writing architectural documentation
  • Experience with our core technologies: GoLang, Cloud providers, and Messaging systems
  • Excellent written and spoken English skills
Extra awesome:

  • Previous working experience with Kafka, Terraform, Kubernetes, & Elasticsearch

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
