Job description

Senior Full Stack Developer

Dublin | Hybrid, 2-3 days per week | €70,000-€80,000

MCS Group is partnering with a growing Irish technology company that is building secure, AI-powered software used by businesses across international markets.

They're now looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to join their engineering team as they continue to scale and modernise their platform.

This is a role for someone who is comfortable working across a product rather than being boxed into one technology.

The environment includes Java, Spring, TypeScript, React, Angular and AWS, but they're not looking for someone who has ticked every single box.

They're much more interested in strong engineers who can solve problems, learn unfamiliar technologies and take ownership of what they're building.

What you'll be doing

You'll work across a modern, security-focused platform handling real-world customer and business data.

Your work will include:

• Building and improving applications using Java/Spring, TypeScript and modern JavaScript frameworks
• Developing and integrating APIs across backend and frontend systems
• Working with React and Angular applications
• Building scalable services within AWS
• Improving existing architecture as the platform continues to evolve
• Working with relational databases and optimising performance
• Troubleshooting production and application issues
• Contributing to architectural and technical decisions
• Using AI-assisted development tools to improve engineering productivity
• Participating in code reviews and supporting other engineers
• Working closely with product, engineering and other teams to take problems from idea through to production

What they're looking for

You'll ideally have around 5+ years of commercial software development experience and a strong background in modern application development.

The strongest candidates are will have:

• Strong Java and Spring experience
• Commercial experience with modern frontend development, ideally React or Angular
• TypeScript and/or JavaScript experience
• Experience designing and integrating REST APIs
• Strong relational database knowledge
• Cloud experience, ideally AWS
• Git and CI/CD experience
• Experience debugging and improving production applications
• Experience in a start-up or scaling company

You don't need to be an expert in every technology they use.

In fact, they're particularly interested in developers who can demonstrate times they've had to pick up an unfamiliar language, framework or technology and become productive with it.

The type of person who will do well

Technical ability is important, but this isn't an environment where you'll simply be handed perfectly defined tickets.

You'll be trusted to work things out.

They want someone who:

• Takes ownership of problems
• Is comfortable working autonomously
• Asks the right questions when requirements aren't clear
• Spots opportunities to improve products and processes
• Enjoys learning new technologies
• Can collaborate with both technical and non-technical colleagues
• Thinks about the wider product rather than only their individual task

Why join?

You'll be joining an established Irish technology business while the engineering platform is going through an interesting period of growth and modernisation.

You'll have the opportunity to influence how systems are built rather than simply maintaining an established codebase.

The wider package includes:

• €70,000-€80,000 salary
• 28 days annual leave, increasing with tenure
• Additional day off for your birthday
• Two weeks working abroad each year
• Wellness/gym contribution
• Educational support
• Regular team lunches and company events
• Hybrid working from Dublin, typically 2-3 days onsite per week
• AI licences provided for all the tools you may need

If you're a senior developer who enjoys working across the stack, solving real problems and having the freedom to make technical decisions, I'd be keen to speak with you.
