- Develop, maintain, and enhance backend services using C# and, where applicable, Node.js.
- Contribute to the modernization of the application data access layer, including development in C++ where required.
- Build and support cloud-native applications and services within AWS, leveraging technologies such as Lambda, ECS, SQS, EventBridge, CloudFront, ALB, and Aurora PostgreSQL.
- Develop and maintain Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform and support automated deployment pipelines through GitLab CI/CD.
- Collaborate with architects, developers, QA teams, and business stakeholders to deliver migration milestones and platform enhancements.
- Contribute to application regression testing using Jest and Playwright where applicable.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 7+ years of professional full stack software development experience.
- Strong experience with Microsoft SQL Server, including T-SQL, stored procedures, triggers, SQL Agent, and query optimization.
- Strong experience with PostgreSQL and PL/pgSQL, including rewriting complex procedural logic.
- Hands-on experience with SQL Server to PostgreSQL migrations, including:
- AWS Database Migration Service (DMS)
- AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT)
- Change Data Capture (CDC) and replication-based cutovers
- Data migration validation and reconciliation (row-level, aggregate, and business-rule validation)
- Strong backend development experience with C# and experience with Node.js.
- Experience working with PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and DynamoDB.
- Strong experience with AWS services, including Aurora/RDS PostgreSQL, Lambda, ECS, SQS, CloudFront, ALB, and EventBridge.
- Experience with Terraform for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience building front-end applications using React.
- Experience with Jest and Playwright for automated testing.
- Experience with C++, particularly for data layer or database integration.

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.
