  • Where necessary ensuring technical solutions and patterns are suitable for and are adopted successfully across all our platforms

  • Acting as a role model and mentor to developers of all disciplines in our engineering team and in particular members of our backend chapter



What skills and experience do I need

  • 7+ years experience developing commercial, large scale solutions

  • Strong communications skills - the ability to work well with others, share ideas and influence outcomes.

  • Excellent knowledge of and experience using Java and Object Oriented design principles.

  • Solid experience building cloud based applications, ideally using AWS.

  • Solid understanding of databases such as PostgreSQL or MongoDB.

  • Significant experience building RESTful APIs.

  • A self-starter with an analytical approach who is comfortable working on their own initiative and handling their time effectively.

  • Creative thinking and is willing and able to solve complicated technical problems that others cannot

Advantage if you have:

  • Experience using Spring, ElasticSearch or OpenSearch, AWS, Docker and container orchestration systems such as Kubernetes or OpenShift.

  • Experience using GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

  • Experience building microservices and working with messaging queues.

  • Experience of Prometheus / Grafana for monitoring/alarming of services.

What's it like to work here?

You will have the opportunity to work with one of Ireland's fastest growing Internet companies. You will get the chance to create a significant contribution to our strategic direction. Projects are exciting and employees are given wide scope for creativity and innovation

Benefits - what you can expect

  • Our goal is to maintain a culture where people look forward to work – whether they're in our centrally-located office in Dublin or working remotely, which is optional for all employees.

  • We do that by making Distilled a place you'll be listened to and trusted to do your job. Where you can have fun, learn and feel appreciated. And where you get focused career development, growth and progression opportunities.

  • We want you to feel confident that this is the right place for you, your career, your wellbeing and your future.

  • Above all, your health and wellbeing are at the forefront of how we build the business. That means looking after you while you're here and later in life. So you'll receive life insurance, fully-paid healthcare and a 5% contribution towards your pension.
