Build and maintain backend systems focused on infrastructure, performance, and customer needs. Design microservices and APIs, scale SQL/NoSQL data platforms, use cloud/serverless managed services, implement CI/CD, and collaborate with product and customer teams to deliver performant, customer-centric features and resolve technical issues.
Description
We are hiring a Senior Backend Engineer for its Customer Focus Group (CFG) — a technical team that bridges engineering and the commercial side of the product. CFG members handle development, architecture, product, and direct customer interaction: translating customer needs into the product, building new features, and resolving pressing technical issues. The role needs a strong backend builder who can also take a holistic, product-and-customer view, with a focus on infrastructure, performance, and customer satisfaction.
Must-have skills:
- Backend architecture — microservices, API design, and design patterns (deep understanding)
- Node.js / TypeScript proficiency (or other relevant backend languages)
- SQL and NoSQL databases, with experience scaling systems for high-volume data processing
- Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and their services — serverless computing, managed databases
- 5+ years of backend development, with a strong focus on customer-centric products
- Proven problem-solving with a track record of performant, scalable solutions
- Agile development practices and CI/CD pipelines
- Excellent collaboration and communication with globally distributed teams
Nice-to-have skills:
- Security / AppSec domain familiarity (OX is a security product)
- Customer-facing / pre-sales technical experience
- Experience bridging product and engineering

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.
