A fast-growing, mission-driven technology company is expanding its Product and Engineering function as it enters a major phase of platform redevelopment and scale.

This is an opportunity to join at a genuinely formative stage. The engineering team is rebuilding core systems and user interfaces, adopting a modern React and Next.js architecture aligned with an existing mobile application. You will play a key role in shaping both the technical foundations and the day-to-day product experience.


The role

You will join a small, highly collaborative engineering team with significant ownership across the full stack. The role spans front-end architecture, backend services and cloud infrastructure, with real influence over tooling, standards and technical direction.


What you will be doing

  • Designing and building scalable, user-focused web applications using React and TypeScript
  • Contributing across the full stack, including Node.js services and relational databases
  • Playing an active role in front-end architecture and the migration to a modern Next.js setup
  • Collaborating closely with product and design to deliver high-quality user experiences
  • Influencing engineering standards, best practice and long-term technical decisions
  • Writing clean, maintainable code with a strong emphasis on testing and quality


Core technical experience

  • Strong commercial experience with React and modern JavaScript or TypeScript
  • Solid backend experience using Node.js and API-driven architectures
  • Experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL
  • Familiarity with cloud-based environments, ideally AWS
  • Understanding of modern front-end build tools and frameworks, including Next.js


Desirable experience

  • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code or cloud automation tools
  • Experience with state management libraries or component libraries
  • Background in mentoring or supporting other engineers
  • Experience working in early-stage or scaling product teams


What we value

  • Pragmatic problem-solving and an ability to reason through technical trade-offs
  • A collaborative mindset with the confidence to challenge ideas constructively
  • High standards for code quality, testing and maintainability
  • Curiosity and a genuine interest in learning and improving continuously
  • Comfort working with autonomy and taking ownership of outcomes


Why consider this role

  • Meaningful impact through technology that supports real-world outcomes
  • Significant influence over architecture, tooling and engineering practices
  • Clear progression towards a lead or principal role as the team grows
  • Flexible working, with remote or hybrid options in Ireland
  • Inclusive, supportive culture that values diversity and different perspectives
