Senior Software Engineer

This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.

Hello, we're ScreenCloud!

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'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, apply below!

The Role

We're looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join our Apps team in Belfast! Belfast's mission is to be the driving force behind ScreenCloud Apps. Apps provide the magic on screen; they're what let users hook up their social media accounts, design their store menus, or showcase team metrics. We even want to help users build their own apps. We write SDKs and develop visual drag & drop tools to create apps in a no-code / low-code style. Beyond that, we're pulling the customer ever closer into the heart of our Product Engineering. By bringing Product Managers and Customer Support right into the hub, that user-driven clarity will always be top of our minds.

Responsibilities

1. Help build and deliver the APIs and infrastructure that powers our whole app catalogue, including brand new apps you help design from scratch
2. Develop in TypeScript on Node and deploy to AWS, primarily with serverless tech like Lambda, DynamoDB, and API Gateway
3. Design event-driven solutions that scale to millions of requests per day, and use top-of-the-line tools like Datadog and Sentry to monitor how your services perform
4. Become a core member of the Apps group, 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
5. 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 maximize reliability)
6. Collaborate with designers, testers, and product owners to ensure the customer experience is perfect
7. 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

This is the role for you if...

1. You have experience building REST or GraphQL services and considering how your API choices impact the clients that call them
2. You're happy to work in a typed language like TypeScript, or you've worked with un-typed web languages like JavaScript or Ruby in the past and are keen to see what the TypeScript fuss is all about!
3. You might have worked with cloud providers like AWS and Azure in the past, or you're keen to learn more about how the platform itself can become a key part of the product
4. You can diagram a solution and discuss the flows of data across it
5. 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!
6. 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

1. APIs built in any modern framework, whether that's Node with tools like Express or NestJS, or one of the many MVC flavours of frameworks in .NET/Rails/Java, etc
2. Working on modern web apps, built with tools like React or Angular. NoSQL experience with services like DynamoDB or MongoDB.
3. Database design with query and performance optimisation
4. End-to-end testing with tools like Cypress, Selenium, or Playwright. Improving build and deploy tooling for reliability and performance
