Job description

Founded in 2015 and with 10,000+ customers around the globe, ScreenCloud is a cloud-based SaaS company, employing over 100 people in our Bangkok, Belfast, LA, Charlotte and London hubs.

At ScreenCloud, we’re hard at work helping businesses to make stronger connections at scale, and with those who are most important to them; their employees & their customers. By using the screens on their walls & the content in their systems, we enable the sales, productivity & engagement that keep our customers’ businesses thriving.

We believe AI is reshaping how we work. The playbook is still being written, and we find that exciting. We're building a company where AI empowers every team member to have outsized impact and we're looking for people who share that vision.

We’re very proud of our product and we’re also incredibly proud of our people. It’s our ‘ScreenClouders’ and the culture they nurture that will take us where other companies just can’t go. So if you’re someone looking to join a team of talented individuals,

The Role:

We're looking for an experienced Software Engineer to join our team in Belfast!

Our mission is to make it effortless for customers to bring content to life on screens everywhere. Whether that content comes from internal comms, social platforms or business dashboards, we strive to transform it into beautiful, dynamic visual experiences.

A big part of the challenge and the fun is designing interfaces that make complex information feel simple, meaningful, and engaging at a glance.

In Belfast, we’re constantly evolving: refining our processes, elevating our design standards, and exploring where AI can enhance both our workflows and the end user experience. We work closely with Product Managers and Customer Support, keeping real user needs at the core of everything we build.

Responsibilities:

• Help build and deliver end-to-end product features across the stack: UI, APIs, and data model.
• Develop in TypeScript on Node and use Pulumi to deploy AWS tech like Lambda, DynamoDB and API Gateway in a way that’s reproducible, reviewable, and safe to change.
• Design event-driven solutions that scale to millions of requests per day, and evolve schemas in Postgres with performance‑minded query patterns.
• Become a core member of the team, building tools and best practices to make it easier for developers across the company, and even our customers themselves, to build their own ScreenCloud apps.
• Push us to experiment and try new techniques to constantly improve the quality of our platform (We're particularly interested in approaches to make useful monitoring effortless and maximise reliability)
• Use AI tools like Cursor, Gemini, MCP servers to help you ship faster (and smarter)
• Collaborate with designers, testers and product owners to ensure the customer experience is perfect.
• Get stuck in with us on prototypes and MVPs to experiment with the constant stream of ideas for where we take digital screens next. Then help get the best of these into the hands of real customers of course.

Requirements:

• You have experience building REST or GraphQL services, and considering how your API choices impact the clients that call them
• You might have worked with cloud providers like AWS and Azure in the past. Have familiarity with Infrastructure-as-code such as Pulumi/Terraform, ORMs such as Prisma or Drizzle and CI/CD.
• You can diagram a solution, and discuss the flows of data across it.
• You understand that the user's experience, both in setting up an app and then seeing it on screen is the north star metric for any work we do. The more complexity we can abstract away from them, the better our systems are!
• You work best in small teams and deliver the highest quality code when you’re surrounded by great people. And in return, you share your own learnings with the team to help us always improve.

Bonus Skills

• APIs built in any modern framework, whether that’s Node with tools like Express or NestJS, or one of the many MVC flavour of frameworks in .NET/Rails/Java etc.
• Working on modern webapps, built with tools like React or Angular.
• DB fundamentals (schema design, migrations, indexing, query performance), especially with Postgres or DynamoDB.
• End to end testing with tools like Cypress/Selenium/Playwright.
• Improving build and deploy tooling for reliability and performance.
