A Database Developer role focuses on the company's data infrastructure, requiring skills in PostgreSQL, Redshift, AWS QuickSight, and ETL pipelines, while a Software Engineer – Frontend seeks 4–5 years of experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React 16+), webpack, and containerisation. The quality assurance team is hiring a Software Test Engineer for manual testing, with experience in exploratory, UAT, regression, and API testing.

Beyond engineering, a Process Engineer supports professional services in life sciences validation, and a Development Enablement Associate coordinates releases and Agile delivery practices across the R&D organisation. A Senior Reporting & Revenue Accountant role reflects the company's growth as a TSX-listed entity, requiring IFRS and revenue recognition expertise.

Two graduate programmes — in IT and Operations/Engineering — offer 18-month rotational placements starting September 2026, ideal for final-year students in computer science, software development, or engineering disciplines. All roles operate on a hybrid working basis, and applicants must have permanent Irish work authorisation.
