We’re supporting a disruptive EdTech SaaS startup to land their 1st Full-time, permanent Engineering hire!

This is an opportunity to get in at the ground-floor of a startup that’s making waves in the Education sector with their Operating System for teachers. Their platform brings pupil information together and strengthens connections between teachers and parents.

They’ve just closed a fundraising round, and are looking for the person who can help them build what comes next. They’re just getting started…

The role

This is not a “here’s your ticket, go build it” job.

As the first senior engineering hire, you’ll have genuine ownership. You’ll work directly with the co-founder to understand the problem, shape the solution, make the technical decisions, build it, test it and get it into production.

You’ll work across:

Frontend: React 19 + React Router v7 + TypeScript

Backend: Node.js 22 + TypeScript

Database: PostgreSQL

Infrastructure: AWS

(You’ll also work with integrations including Wonde, Postmark, Twilio and Daily.)

What they’re looking for

Someone who:

• Can take a feature from idea → production with minimal hand-holding
• Cares deeply about quality and user experience
• Is comfortable owning their own QA — no separate QA team here
• Can spot bugs, performance issues and technical debt before they become problems
• Enjoys making architectural decisions and thinking about how systems scale
• Writes clean, maintainable code
• Communicates clearly and can translate technical thinking for a non-technical co-founder
• Wants their work to have a visible impact

Why join?

You won’t be joining a huge engineering org where your work disappears into the backlog.

You’ll be one of the people shaping the product, engineering culture and technical foundations from the ground up.

If you’re a senior full-stack developer in Northern Ireland who wants real ownership, real influence and the chance to build something that could genuinely change how schools operate, i’d love to hear from you.
