This is a high-impact senior role reporting directly to the Chief Engineer. You'll have real influence over the future of an award-winning FinTech company, recently recognized as one of Ireland's best places to work.

We're seeking a mid-level backend developer with 5+ years of experience. This role offers mentored growth, with training in C#, AWS, and architecture. You will work closely with senior engineers and leadership to develop towards a future Principal Engineer role.
To support your progression, we provide structured mentorship, learning opportunities, and performance-based bonuses. While initial delivery may be slower, we are committed to investing in long-term internal talent.
You will contribute to aligning backend systems with our evolving C# stack while maintaining existing PHP Laravel systems. You will also support our transition to a self-service architecture within Comply—driving faster onboarding, improved scalability, and international expansion.
