Position Summary
We're looking for talented Senior Software Engineers to join our team! You will have opportunities to work closely with customers to solve real technology challenges. We are rapidly expanding, and you will be responsible for delivering new solutions and services while constantly improving our approach to architecture, scale, availability and fault-tolerance. Engineering is a craft, and at Firstup we believe the internals of our technology should be as elegant as user experience. If there is a specific challenge you are looking for, we most likely have it for you.
Teams are empowered and supported to do their best work every day. We work in cross-functional autonomous product teams, so you'll interact with Product Managers, Designers, QA, and other engineers daily. You will partner with others across the company in shared codebases and contribute directly to other services when needed. We iterate quickly to see what works and what doesn't and follow the data to drive our strategy. We encourage you to take chances and fail because that is how we learn and grow. We are a distributed team and have been since day 1. We build solutions for distributed workforces, so we model our workforce the same way. In this role you really can work where you want within the Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK!
