We have an exciting opportunity to join our Engineering team in Sydney and are currently looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join the team. 

What you should know about our Engineering team:

  • We make room to do things the right way, rather than hacking stuff in.
  • You own your projects: you build it, you ship it, you run it.
  • We were born in the cloud: practices and principles like CI/CD, IaC, O11y and CyberSec are part of what we do.

When it comes to Learning and Development:

  • Learning is part of our fabric. We have a world-class Engineering Learning and Development program and we are passionate about career development. 
  • Thought Leaders regularly give tailored talks and workshops for our team.
  • We are proactive in the community attending many local and international conferences.
  • We have both a technical and management track for career progression and promotions.
  • We have a library of books and videos with good content and encourage staying on top of new practices. 

Tech we use

Our typical tech stack includes AWS, Kubernetes for microservices, Kotilin, TypeScript, and Terraform.

What you will bring to the role:

  • Robust coding practices including writing clean well structured code, automated tests, and managing source control.
  • A sense of ownership of our code base and systems. Deep understanding of why design and architectural decisions are made.
  • Ensuring product features are being delivered effectively as measured by lead time, deployment frequency, change failure percentage, mean time to resolution and number of bugs in production.
  • Experience implementing and using distributed event-driven architectures.
  • Cloud development (we are hosted on AWS).
  • Containerisation (Docker and/or Kubernetes would be great).
  • Strong fundamental knowledge of OO and Functional programming paradigms.
  • Ability to develop technical solutions and to communicate them effectively.
