The role typically requires professional software development experience, proficiency in languages such as Java, C++, or Python, and a solid understanding of algorithms, data structures, operating systems, and distributed systems. Candidates should be comfortable designing, implementing, testing, and operating reliable production software. Strong problem-solving, written and verbal communication, and the ability to work effectively with product, infrastructure, and operations teams are expected.

The successful candidate will take ownership of deliverables, contribute to technical decisions, and help build highly available systems used at significant scale.
Amazon is a global technology and commerce company serving customers through online retail, cloud computing, digital content, logistics, advertising, and artificial intelligence. Founded in 1994, it operates marketplaces and technology platforms worldwide, including Amazon Web Services, one of the largest cloud infrastructure providers. Amazon employs a large international workforce and is known for customer-focused product development, operational scale, and a culture based on leadership principles such as ownership, invention, and high standards. Its engineering teams build services that support millions of customers and businesses, often working with distributed systems, automation, data, and advanced cloud technologies. In Ireland, Amazon has significant operations in Dublin and other locations, including software engineering, AWS, customer support, finance, and corporate functions.
Ireland offers strong opportunities in software engineering, cloud computing, cybersecurity, pharmaceuticals, financial services, medical technology, and multinational technology companies. Dublin is the main technology hub, while Cork, Galway, Limerick, and Waterford also provide growing employment markets. Irish culture is generally welcoming, conversational, and community-oriented, with a strong social scene, music tradition, and access to beaches, countryside, and historic towns. Lifestyle benefits include English as the main workplace language, good international connections, and a moderate climate, although housing costs—especially in Dublin—are high. Non-EU nationals normally need an employment permit; experienced technology professionals may qualify for a Critical Skills Employment Permit, subject to salary and occupation requirements. Candidates should secure an offer, confirm employer sponsorship, arrange accommodation early, and budget for rent, transport, healthcare, and relocation expenses.
