Senior Backend Developer - AI-Driven Product | €65k - €80k | Hybrid ( 2 Days in Dublin)
We're working with a scaling Irish tech company building AI-powered products.
They've recently gone through a period of growth and product expansion, and are now hiring a senior backend developer to support the next phase of their platform.
This is a strong opportunity to join a business where engineering has real influence - not just delivering tickets, but shaping how products evolve.
The Opportunity
You’ll join a collaborative engineering team working across two core products, both hosted on AWS and used by customers in regulated, high-impact environments.
There’s a mix of legacy and modern architecture across the platform, so the work is varied and hands‑on:
improving system stability and performance
building and enhancing APIs
working across integrations and data flows
contributing to ongoing product development and technical improvements
This is not a narrow role. You’ll be trusted to take ownership, solve problems, and contribute ideas.
Tech Environment
PHP (Laravel) and Java (Spring) across the platform
AWS infrastructure
REST APIs
Mix of monolith and microservices
Databases, integrations, and backend‑heavy problem solving
You don’t need experience in both PHP and Java - strong experience in one is enough, with an openness to learn the other over time.
What They’re Looking For
5+ years backend development experience
Strong skills in either PHP/Laravel or Java/Spring
Experience working with APIs and backend systems
Comfortable working across complex systems and integrations
Someone who takes ownership and can think beyond assigned tasks
Comfortable using AI tools to improve productivity and problem-solving
Equally important:
collaborative mindset
strong communication & critical thinking
ability to work with autonomy
openness to new ideas and ways of working
This environment suits engineers who like solving real problems and being involved in how things are built.
Why This Role
Genuine opportunity to make an impact in a growing product team
Work on real-world AI‑driven systems in a high‑demand space
Close-knit, collaborative engineering culture
Strong focus on learning, knowledge sharing, and continuous improvement
Not overly corporate - you’ll have visibility and influence

€65,000 - €80,000 base
Hybrid working (2 days in office)
Half‑day Fridays
€400 annual wellbeing allowance
Annual salary reviews
Share scheme after year 1
