Walsh Digital is hiring for the Software Developer role on our operations team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in Ireland. Day-to-day communication is in Slack and Google Meet.

Responsibilities:

• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.

• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.

• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.

Nice to have:

• Contributions to open source projects.
• Prior work at an early-stage startup.

Benefits:
