Are you an experienced Software Engineer who thrives on solving complex problems and driving technical excellence? We're working with a forward-thinking organisation that's scaling rapidly and looking for a Senior Software Engineer to play a pivotal role in taking their platforms to the next level.

This is a unique opportunity to join a business where technology underpins everything they do. You'll lead by example, championing best-practice design patterns, robust software architecture, and agile delivery. As the company prepares for significant growth, you'll help re-architect and harden systems to handle 10x-100x scale, ensuring the platform is built to last.

Beyond writing high-quality, maintainable code, you'll mentor junior engineers, influence buy vs build decisions, and strike the right balance between strong engineering principles and pragmatic solutions. You'll be the guardian of code quality, driving test coverage and long-term maintainability.

What we\'re looking for

• 10+ years' experience in software engineering
• Strong background with C# and .NET
• Familiarity with Linux, Python, and Azure DevOps
• Experience in both start-up/scale-up and larger organisations
• Excellent communication skills
• Bonus: experience in robotics or hardware-based products

In return, you\'ll be joining a dynamic, collaborative environment where your expertise will make a tangible impact. If you are ready to step into a role where you can shape the engineering culture and technology of a scaling business, reach out to Fintan at TEC Partners.
