Software Developer

Job description

Microbyte is looking for someone who genuinely loves solving problems with code. Not someone who ticks boxes on a computer science checklist, but someone who gets a real kick out of taking a messy, manual process and turning it into something that just works. Someone who has been watching the AI wave with real excitement and wants to join. This isn't a traditional developer role. We care less about where you learned to code than about what you can build. Whether your background is formal education or self-directed learning, what matters is that you build, you ship, and you care about the result. You'll be comfortable using modern AI tools to move quickly, but you take the time to understand what your code is actually doing. Most importantly, you believe technology should make people's working lives better. We build systems that empower the people who use them, not systems designed to replace them. Are you the kind of person who sees a repetitive, manual process and itches to automate it properly? Do you find genuine satisfaction in watching something you built make someone's day easier? Have you been looking for a role where curiosity and output matter more than years of experience? You'll work across a genuinely interesting mix: our client-facing AI platform, internal automations, and real integration projects for real businesses. You'll be joining as we expand our AI and development capability, with support to grow quickly, real influence over how it takes shape, and the freedom to bring your own ideas to the table. At Microbyte, we pride ourselves on providing cutting-edge technologies with a fast-paced team of forward thinkers. If you see yourself being involved in an ever-growing MSP with friendly, collaborative offices in the UK, UAE and US, then this could be the role you're looking for.
