About Origina
Origina is a rapidly growing global challenger technology company on a mission to stop unnecessary technology change by helping enterprises to extend, protect and enhance their software assets. We believe organisations should be free to run their systems for as long as they choose - without being pushed into costly, unwanted upgrades that don’t align with their strategy, so we step in to provide an alternative from the original vendor.
We’re scaling fast, with a clear path to €0.5 billion in the next five years, and expanding our presence across Europe, the US, and Australia. As a leading force in independent enterprise software support, we help the world’s largest organisations take back control of their technology roadmap and unlock genuine commercial freedom.
If you’re energised by growth, excited by change, and motivated to help customers challenge long-standing industry norms, this is the team to join. At Origina, you’ll be part of a bold, fast-moving global business where your impact will be felt immediately.
Role Purpose
Origina is seeking an AI & Data Applications Developer to join the Business Applications team. This is a hands-on technical role focused on building AI-enabled applications, supporting the development of Origina's evolving AI architecture, and jointly owning the data foundations that underpin those solutions. Working alongside the AI Technical Lead, AI Architect and development team, you will help design, build and maintain both AI applications and the data structures that support them.
This role combines software development, database design and practical data ownership. You will contribute to the design of application data models, integration patterns and database structures that enable AI solutions to scale effectively across the business. While this is not a data science, enterprise data architecture or machine learning research role, you will play a key role in shaping and governing the AI application data environment and ensuring it remains secure, scalable and fit for purpose.
Origina’s data model is relatively small and simple compared to an enterprise architecture so you do not need to be a data scientist but a good all rounder with a strong foundation/interest in data and data architecture as well as a passion for development and the power of AI.
