Quest Software is looking for a Software Engineer with 3+ years of professional experience to join our agile development team in Cork, Ireland. This role is ideal for a developer who has a strong foundation in C# and .NET Core, enjoys working on real-world problems, and wants to grow their experience building AI-enabled enterprise software.

You will be part of an R&D team developing commercial SaaS products that help organizations manage and secure critical enterprise data. Our solutions are built primarily on .NET and Microsoft Azure, and increasingly incorporate AI-driven capabilities.

In this role, you’ll contribute meaningfully to production code, collaborate with experienced engineers, and continue to deepen your skills in modern cloud and AI-adjacent development—without being expected to operate at a senior or architect level.

• Design, develop, and maintain backend services and components using C# and .NET Core
• Contribute to AI-related features and services, integrating AI capabilities into existing products
• Work as an effective member of an agile SCRUM team, collaborating with engineering, QA, and product stakeholders
• Build and maintain RESTful APIs and supporting services
• Write high-quality, maintainable, and testable code aligned with team standards
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to technical discussions
• Assist with troubleshooting, debugging, and resolving production issues
• Incrementally take ownership of components or features, with support from senior engineers

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience)
• 3+ years of professional experience in software development
• Strong hands-on experience with C# and .NET Core
• Experience building or consuming Web APIs / RESTful services
• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals (clean code, SOLID principles, basic design patterns)
• Experience writing unit tests and working with testable codebases
• Familiarity with Git-based version control and collaborative development workflows
• Experience working within an agile development environment
• Good communication skills and ability to work effectively within a cross-functional team

Nice to Have

These are not required, but beneficial if you have some exposure:

• Experience with Microsoft Azure, particularly PaaS services
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (e.g. Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions)
• Exposure to containerization concepts (Docker)
• Basic understanding of AI concepts or experience integrating AI services (e.g. calling AI APIs, working with embeddings, etc.)
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools such as GitHub Copilot
• Some exposure to identity or security concepts (e.g. authentication, authorization)
• Awareness of secure coding best practices
