Senior Back End Engineer Opportunity

Enso Recruitment are excited to be working with a globally recognised organisation operating at the heart of international financial markets, who are now looking to bring a talented Senior Back End Engineer into their growing Belfast engineering team.

The Opportunity

This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced back end engineer who wants to work on complex, high-impact systems at genuine scale.

You'll be part of a collaborative, cross-functional team working across the full software development lifecycle, from design and development through to deployment and post-release support.

It's a role with real influence, working closely with Architects and Principal Engineers on business-critical software that supports both an internal broking division and a global external client base.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and deliver high-quality software solutions in close collaboration with Architects and Principal Engineers
  • Take full ownership of key features from initial design through to timely, defect-free delivery
  • Partner with QA to ensure robust testing practices are embedded throughout the development process
  • Champion engineering best practices including unit testing, code reviews, and maintainable design principles
  • Leverage AI-enabled development tools such as Copilot and code assistants to enhance productivity and delivery velocity within appropriate governance frameworks
  • Design solutions that meet both functional and non-functional requirements including performance, scalability, and resilience
  • Mentor and support junior engineers, contributing to a high-performing and collaborative team environment
  • Proactively communicate progress, risks, and dependencies, escalating blockers early to keep delivery on track

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
