As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll lead architectural discussions, write efficient code, mentor engineers, and tackle complex challenges while collaborating across teams.
At Skillko HSI, we’re on a mission to simplify training, compliance, and workforce management for businesses across regulated industries. Our platform helps organisations streamline their operations, keep teams safe and certified, and stay ahead of compliance requirements with ease.

- Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and DevOps to ship features that deliver real impact
- Champion best practices in testing, documentation, and secure coding
- Keep an eye on the bigger picture—suggesting improvements to tools, processes, or systems where needed

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.
