This is a hands-on senior engineering role focused on modernising legacy PHP into well-structured Laravel services while helping drive engineering standards, scalability, and reliability across a multi-tenant SaaS platform.

What you’ll be doing

• Build new features in Laravel while progressively refactoring and modernising legacy PHP code.
• Help shape the migration strategy using pragmatic incremental approaches rather than risky “big bang” rewrites.
• Improve performance across APIs, services, and databases by optimising queries, data access, and legacy schemas.
• Strengthen multi-tenant architecture, security, permissions, and auditability.
• Drive engineering quality through code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD discipline, and clean design patterns.
• Work closely with Product, QA, and Operations teams to deliver stable, predictable releases.
• Act as a senior technical contributor and lead developer within a full-stack scrum team.

What we’re looking for

• Strong commercial experience with PHP and Laravel in production environments.
• A proven background modernising legacy systems and untangling complex codebases.
• Strong SQL and database optimisation skills, including working with imperfect or heavily evolved schemas.
• Good understanding of APIs, authentication patterns (OAuth/JWT), queues/background jobs, and SaaS platform architecture.
• Experience with cloud environments such as AWS, containerisation, CI/CD pipelines, and production debugging.
• Someone pragmatic and engineering-focused who values maintainability, delivery, and continuous improvement over chasing shiny tech.
• Experience working in multi-tenant SaaS environments would be a strong advantage.

Why this role stands out

You’ll join a business where the software genuinely matters. The platform directly supports healthcare delivery, so the engineering challenges are real and the impact is tangible.

There’s strong backing, a collaborative culture, and plenty of scope to influence architecture, standards, and technical direction as the platform continues to evolve.

It’s also the kind of environment where experienced engineers tend to thrive — smart technical problems, modernisation work that actually gets prioritised, and no endless committee theatre slowing things down.

CompuStaff is recruiting for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer on behalf of our client, a leading healthcare software company based in Galway. This is a brilliant opportunity to join a growing SaaS business at an important stage of its journey, as it modernises its platform, strengthens observability, and moves towards a more unified, scalable cloud architecture.

You’ll be joining a collaborative engineering team where your work will directly improve platform reliability, deployment confidence, incident response, and the overall developer experience.

About the company

Our client provides a software platform that helps care providers improve safety, compliance, workflows, and outcomes for service users.

Following strong growth and recent investment, the company is now expanding its engineering capability and investing heavily in platform modernisation, automation, observability, and AI-enabled care management.

The role

This is a hands-on SRE role with plenty of room to shape how things are done.

You’ll work across cloud infrastructure, monitoring, automation, deployment pipelines, and reliability engineering. The environment includes a mix of established systems and newer platform work, so you’ll get the best of both worlds: real problems to solve now, and the chance to influence the future architecture.

You’ll help modernise observability using tools such as Prometheus and Grafana, improve CI/CD pipelines, support the company’s move towards an AWS-first architecture, and contribute to the early stages of its containerisation journey.

What you’ll be doing

• You’ll build automation to reduce manual operational work and improve platform reliability.
• You’ll improve monitoring, alerting, and observability across multiple products.
• You’ll help instrument existing services to provide better telemetry, visibility, and service-level insights.
• You’ll contribute to infrastructure modernisation using Terraform and cloud-native tooling.
• You’ll work with engineering, QA, support, and product teams to define and improve reliability metrics such as SLIs, SLOs, and SLAs.
• You’ll enhance CI/CD pipelines using tools such as GitHub and Jenkins.
• You’ll support incident response, root cause analysis, and long-term reliability improvements.
• You’ll also have a voice in future architecture decisions, including platform consolidation, AWS, Docker, and deployment strategy.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving reliability problems properly and not just restarting things and hoping the logs stop shouting.

You’ll likely bring strong experience in some of the following:

• Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, Platform Engineering, or Cloud Infrastructure
• Monitoring and observability, ideally with tools like Prometheus and Grafana
• AWS or cloud-native infrastructure
• Terraform or infrastructure as code
• CI/CD pipelines, ideally GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar
• Scripting or development experience, ideally Python, PHP/Laravel, or C#/.NET
• Docker or containerisation principles

You don’t need to tick every box. The important thing is that you are hands-on, curious, automation-minded, and comfortable working across engineering and operations.

Why this role is worth a look

This is not a “keep the lights on” SRE role.

You’ll be joining at a point where the company is actively investing in better engineering practices, better tooling, and a more scalable platform. There is real scope to influence how reliability, observability, cloud infrastructure, and deployment automation are built for the next stage of growth.

You’ll also be working on software with a genuine purpose: systems that help care providers deliver safer, smarter, and more connected care.

We are looking for a Backend Engineer who enjoys building reliable, scalable systems and solving real engineering problems. You will help design, develop, and improve backend services that support modern applications, working across software development, cloud technologies, and production systems focused on integrated logistics management and supply-chain optimisation.

You will primarily work with TypeScript and Node.js, with Python experience considered a strong advantage. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys API design, automation, cloud-native engineering, and taking ownership of services from development through to production.

What you’ll do

• Build and maintain backend services using TypeScript / Node.js
• Design and develop REST APIs and event-driven services
• Work on scalable, multi-tenant applications
• Deploy and support containerised services using Docker and Kubernetes
• Collaborate on cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment automation
• Improve system reliability, performance, monitoring, and operational processes
• Work with databases such as PostgreSQL and MongoDB
• Contribute to internal tools, shared libraries, and engineering improvements

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of software engineering experience
• Strong experience with Node.js and TypeScript
• Experience building backend services and APIs
• Understanding of microservices and distributed systems
• Experience with Docker, cloud platforms, and modern deployment practices
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and CI/CD workflows
• Experience with relational and/or NoSQL databases
• Comfortable working with production systems and owning solutions

Nice to have

• Python experience for backend services or automation
• AWS or other cloud experience
• Terraform/OpenTofu, Helm, GitOps (Flux/Argo CD)
• Observability tools such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or Grafana
• Event-driven architectures or messaging systems
• SaaS, multi-tenant, or high-scale platform experience

What we offer

• Fully remote role in Ireland
• Opportunity to work with modern cloud-native technologies
• A collaborative engineering environment with ownership and impact

If you’re a backend engineer who enjoys building dependable systems and improving how technology is delivered, we’d love to hear from you.
