AI-Enabled Software Engineer

MCS Group is working exclusively with a potential new entrant to Northern Ireland in their search for a Senior AI-Enabled Software Engineer. This will be a fully-remote, senior engineering role within a high-growth MedTech organisation.

Small teams can now do big things. We're helping our client build a compact, high-calibre engineering team to modernise systems, ship new capabilities, and test ideas quickly; without the overhead (and bureaucracy) of a large organisation.

This role is perfect for a senior software engineer who enjoys building, improving, and making things work in the real world. If you like the idea of doing more with less, being the first hire of a team in a brand new region, and shipping meaningful work quickly - let's chat.

What you'll do

• Take ideas and turn them into working, production-ready systems
• Improve and evolve existing platforms without unnecessary rewrites
• Build APIs, services, and (where needed) clean, usable frontends
• Move systems toward modern, cloud-native ways of working
• Use AI tools to speed up delivery and focus on what really matters
• Test ideas quickly through prototypes, then scale what works

What we're looking for

• Strong experience building and owning software in production
• Comfortable across backend, systems, and some frontend when needed
• Solid understanding of modern cloud and delivery practices
• Able to make sensible trade-offs and keep things pragmatic
• Already using AI tools to enhance how you build software (you'll be tinkering and utilising the likes of Cursor, Claude or Co-Pilot to go-faster and work more efficiently in your role already)

Why it's worth a conversation

• Small team, real ownership, no unnecessary process
• A mix of modernisation and new build work
• Freedom to use the latest tooling in a practical way and future-proof your career
• Fully remote
• Focus on outcomes, not activity
