Job Description
We’re supporting a disruptive EdTech SaaS startup to land their 1st Full-time, permanent Engineering hire!
This is an opportunity to get in at the ground-floor of a startup that’s making waves in the Education sector with their Operating System for teachers. Their platform brings pupil information together and strengthens connections between teachers and parents.
They’ve just closed a fundraising round, and are looking for the person who can help them build what comes next. They’re just getting started…
The role
This is not a “here’s your ticket, go build it” job.
As the first senior engineering hire , you’ll have genuine ownership. You’ll work directly with the co-founder to understand the problem, shape the solution, make the technical decisions, build it, test it and get it into production.
You’ll work across:
Infrastructure : AWS
(You’ll also work with integrations including Wonde , Postmark , Twilio and Daily .)
What they’re looking for
Someone who:
- Can take a feature from idea → production with minimal hand-holding
- Cares deeply about quality and user experience
- Is comfortable owning their own QA — no separate QA team here
- Can spot bugs, performance issues and technical debt before they become problems
- Enjoys making architectural decisions and thinking about how systems scale
- Writes clean, maintainable code
- Communicates clearly and can translate technical thinking for a non-technical co-founder
- Wants their work to have a visible impact
You won’t be joining a huge engineering org where your work disappears into the backlog.
You’ll be one of the people shaping the product, engineering culture and technical foundations from the ground up.
If you’re a senior full-stack developer in Northern Ireland who wants real ownership, real influence and the chance to build something that could genuinely change how schools operate , i’d love to hear from you.
Hybrid 2 days in Belfast.
