Recruiter Name Ronan O'Sullivan

Our Galway-based client works on bold ideas at the intersection of data, cybersecurity, and product innovation. Their mission is to rethink how data can be leveraged to defend organisations at scale and to build products that genuinely change how cyber defence works in the real world.

If you enjoy solving meaningful problems, building elegant systems, and seeing customers actively use (and love) what you’ve created, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

  • Build modern Single Page Applications (SPAs) using cutting-edge web technologies to deliver fast, intuitive user experiences for both internal and external users.

  • Work closely with end users — collaborating, iterating, and refining solutions based on real-world feedback.

  • Move quickly without breaking things, using CI/CD pipelines to prototype rapidly and ship high-quality, production-ready software.

  • Own your work end-to-end, from design decisions to deployment and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Enjoy

  • Innovation with purpose — learning new technologies and applying them to genuinely complex, high-impact problems.

  • Strong collaboration — working in a supportive, highly capable team where ideas are shared and challenged constructively.

  • Visible impact — building products that customers actively rely on and regularly give feedback on.

  • Continuous growth — learning from others, supporting teammates, and being supported in your own development.

What You Bring

  • Strong experience with modern JavaScript (ES6+); TypeScript is a big plus.

  • A proven track record of building, deploying, and supporting production applications.

  • Experience with React is preferred, but strong experience with any modern UI framework is valuable.

  • Confidence working with large or complex data sets, and turning them into usable, performant interfaces.

  • 8+ years’ experience in software development across web, UI, back-end, or related areas.

  • Experience in a start-up or scale-up environment is a strong advantage.

The Technology Stack

  • Frontend: React, Material UI, Storybook

  • Web: Web Workers, WebSockets

  • Architecture: SPA with PWA elements

  • Backend Integration: REST, GraphQL, CQRS

  • Ways of Working: Monorepos, CI/CD, DevOps & SecDevOps, strong UX processes

 

What’s On Offer

  • Six-figure salary (negotiable, depending on experience)

  • High trust, high ownership environment

  • Work that matters — technically challenging, commercially relevant, and used daily

  • Hybrid role with some visits to the Galway office

If you’re excited by building modern products, working with smart people, and shaping the future of cybersecurity, we’d love to hear from you.
