What’s the Opportunity

is Ireland’s largest online marketplace, with a mission to make buying and selling simple for everyone across the country. With over 1.5 million users visiting our website and apps every month, we’re driven by the opportunity to enhance the buying and selling experience. If you’re excited to do impactful work that reaches hundreds of thousands of people daily, this could be the perfect role for you.

We are seeking to recruit a Backend focused Software Engineer to join one of our DoneDeal development teams. The successful candidate must have between 2 and 4 years of similar experience, a passion for building great software and will thrive in a fun, fast paced and challenging environment. You will have the opportunity to work with the latest technologies and help build one of the most well-known and visited websites in the country. You’ll get to use your experience to develop our engineering process, influence decisions when building new features and ensure the scalability and availability of the platforms.

What will I be doing 

Software Engineers at Distilled build the core services to support our different products, websites and apps. We strive to use the best technologies for a job and are continuously upgrading our technology stack.

Here’s just some of the things you’ll work on:

  • Build and maintain features and products for DoneDeal.

  • Ensure the codebase is clean, scalable and secure.

  • Work with other like minded developers as part of an Agile team.

  • Work with our product, quality and site reliability teams.  

What skills and experience do I need

  • 2 to 4 years demonstrated ability in a similar role.

  • Excellent knowledge of Java and Object Oriented design principles.

  • Experience and understanding of MVC, IoC and ORM frameworks.

  • Solid understanding of databases such as PostgreSQL or MongoDB.

  • Experience building RESTful APIs.

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

  • Excellent interpersonal, teamwork and collaboration skills.

  • A passion for technology and a hunger to adopt new industry trends.

Advantage if you have

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

  • Experience using Jenkins or GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

  • Experience building microservices and working with messaging queues.

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

  • Experience working with JavaScript, CSS or HTML is a bonus.

  • A degree or masters in Computer Science/Engineering or a related field.

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 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 understand that the tools you have to do your job can make a difference too. So while MacBooks are our standard, we’re happy to get you the equipment you need to do your job.

  • 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.
