• Work directly alongside AWS engineers on a next generation global platform
• Hybrid working, Belfast based

About the Company

Our client is a world leading technology organisation operating at significant global scale - 60 offices, 27 countries, over 5,200 people. Their engineering teams build and maintain business critical systems that process enormous volumes of data and transactions daily, and they take the quality of that engineering seriously. Self organising, cross functional Agile teams, a genuine focus on cloud native architecture and automation, and a culture built around continuous improvement and knowledge sharing. This is not a company where engineers are told what to build and left to get on with it - they are involved in shaping technical direction from day one.

Why Work Here?

This is a company that is genuinely investing in Belfast. They have hired 12 engineers here already this year - not as a cost saving exercise, but because they are building serious engineering capability in Northern Ireland for the long term. The Belfast team is not a satellite office doing maintenance work. It is a core part of a global engineering organisation tackling complex, large scale problems with modern technology and real autonomy.

This particular role sits within a brand new team building a next generation platform in direct partnership with Amazon Web Services. You would be working alongside AWS engineers, learning from some of the best technical minds in the industry, on a greenfield build at global scale. For an engineer looking to accelerate their growth, work on genuinely cutting edge cloud architecture and do so within a business that invests seriously in its people, this is a standout opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to solution design and development with a focus on back end services and APIs in .NET C# within a cloud based distributed architecture
• Implement and maintain infrastructure as code using AWS CDK with Python to automate deployment and resource management
• Ensure high quality code through unit testing, automated testing and adherence to best practices
• Communicate architecture principles and design decisions clearly to team members and stakeholders
• Collaborate with cross functional teams including BAs, QA and PMs to deliver solutions aligned with business requirements
• Support Agile delivery by engaging in planning, estimation and prioritisation activities
• Troubleshoot and resolve issues promptly to minimise business impact
• Contribute to the modernisation and simplification of the technology landscape
• Maintain clear documentation of code, processes and system configurations
• Demonstrate T shaped skills, contributing across development areas and supporting team members in building their own breadth of expertise

What You'll Need

Essential

• Professional experience with C# and .NET 8 or above
• Experience working on back end services and APIs
• Ability to work with Business Analysts and Product Owners to clarify requirements and constructively challenge assumptions
• Experience in technical platform teams delivering reusable services across multiple projects
• Familiarity with RESTful APIs, GraphQL and CSS tooling such as Tailwind
• Strong understanding of version control using Git

Nice to Have

• Experience with AWS CDK or other infrastructure as code tooling
• Contribution to open source projects
• Exposure to cloud native or distributed systems architecture

Why Apply?

• Salary up to £47,000
• Hybrid working with a Belfast base
• Part of a rapidly growing Belfast engineering hub - 12 new hires already this year
• Greenfield platform build in direct partnership with AWS - a genuinely rare opportunity at this level
• Work alongside AWS engineers on cutting edge cloud architecture at global scale
• Continuous learning culture with real exposure to best in class engineering practices
• Collaborative, cross functional Agile environment with strong mentorship from senior engineers
• Long term investment from an organisation committed to building world class engineering in Belfast
