Description
Our mission and where you fit in

At Employment Hero, we’re an ambitious bunch on a mission to make employment easier and more valuable for everyone. 

Since our inception in 2014 we've had some pretty impressive growth (100% YoY), now serving 300,000 businesses globally, with 2 million+ users on the platform, reaching unicorn status in 2022 - and we have no plans to slow down. 

There’s never been a more exciting time to join one of the fastest-growing SaaS unicorns, so let’s see if we could be a match!

What your days might look like 

This role is with our HR, Benefits and Payroll Integration teams who build and run an all-in-one platform so our customers can manage everything from pay and annual leave to professional development and employee engagement.

Week to week you'll be:

  • End-to-end fullstack development for new and current cloud-based applications
  • Working across our Ruby codebase which are run in an AWS cloud environment using EC2 and Kubernetes
  • Navigating different parts of a complex SAAS product - picking up new tools, technologies and subject domains quickly
  • Work on the technology roadmap with Product Owners, designing solutions with your squad, and new feature development, through to production, improving/optimizing and maintenance
  • Debug and perform root cause analysis for application issues
  • Perform tests and quality checks on your code - you own the quality and security of the code you create
  • Take initiative in recommending improvements to the development process
  • Proactively identify application pain points and suggest mitigation strategies
  • Perform peer reviews of code changes
  • Maintain documentation and help articles for new/updated features
  • Work closely with business stakeholders within an agile environment
What will you bring 

We're looking for someone who:

  • Excellent experience with Ruby on Rails
  • Knowledge of correct design patterns for code and how to transform existing code to implement them.
  • Experience in developing software, using microservices or SOA architecture for deployment on public clouds - we use AWS
  • Experience using Agile methodologies and working with Product teams
  • Quality coding practices, including test-driven development, unit testing and secure coding awareness.

Experience is important, but for us the biggest measure of success is people who can live and breathe our values. Show us what you can bring to the table, and we’ll empower you to let your talents shine.


The EH Way

The EH Way is how we describe our culture at Employment Hero and how we all operate. It is our DNA. You can read all about it on our careers page:  

In short, you’ll love working with us if:

  • Revolutionising employment gets your heart racing.
  • You thrive on the flexibility (and responsibility) of a remote-first business.
  • Our values align, and shape how you show up every day.
  • You love the dynamic pace of a startup, are driven by innovation, and enjoy working with other smart people.

Plus, you’ll get to enjoy a number of great perks, including: 

  • A generous budget for your home office.
  • Cutting-edge tools and technology.
  • Reward and recognition programs - because great work should be recognised and rewarded.
  • Learning and development (including an external study policy, live monthly professional development classrooms, and premium online learning content).
  • Employee Share Option Program: be an owner of Employment Hero.
  • Annual Global Gathering - so far we’ve been to Thailand, Vietnam, Bali and are excited to meet in Dubai in 2025.

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.
