We’re specifically looking for a Principal Software Developer (Ruby on Rails & React) - Freelancer
What We’re Looking For- 8+ years of experience in software development, with deep, senior-level expertise in Ruby on Rails and React
- A proven senior profile, someone who doesn’t just execute, but defines direction, shapes systems, and confidently makes architectural and product decisions
- Strong sense of end-to-end ownership: you are comfortable setting the roadmap, identifying gaps, and continuously building on top of existing systems without needing close guidance
- A senior-level commitment to quality, with extensive experience designing and maintaining robust test suites; testing is a core part of how you build, not an afterthought
- Clear and demonstrated focus on admin panels and internal tooling, with the maturity to design for usability, maintainability, and long-term evolution (not user-facing products)
- Experience working closely with internal stakeholders, with the communication skills and seniority to translate needs into well-structured solutions across varying levels of complexity
- Background in smaller-scale environments (e.g., internal tools, limited user bases), where pragmatic decision-making and thoughtful trade-offs are more important than hyper-scale concerns
- A self-directed, senior mindset, you bring structure to ambiguity, operate independently, and take responsibility for both the technical direction and its outcomes

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.
