• Take end-to-end ownership of the whole development lifecycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and deployment through to our production environments.
• Lead the design and implementation of the more complex development initiatives.
• Mentor junior engineers within your team, assisting with developing their skills.
• Collaborate with other development teams, operations teams, and product managers to solve complex problems.
• Apply DevOps best practices as part of a global team that operates 24x7.

Requirements

• Tertiary qualifications in software engineering or computer science.
• 5-10 years of commercial experience regularly delivering quality software and overcoming technical challenges.
• Demonstrated experience delivering complex technical solutions.
• Proficiency in Java, SQL, and at least one other modern programming language - and openness to learning more.
• Strong communication skills and a humble and collaborative nature - essential for working harmoniously with multiple teams.
• A curious mindset with a keen interest in how your work will positively impact customers.
• Eagerness to tackle new challenges and continuously grow your and your team’s software engineering skills.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Python, Typescript, Rust, Terraform, Ansible, Jenkins, Debian, and more.

We Offer

• Regular team rotations to explore different technologies and aspects of our systems, ensuring you never stop learning.
• Working with a wide range of technologies and tools.
• Our systems run on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
• A modern development environment running on the latest MacBook Pros.
• Workplace flexibility and great work-life balance.
• A fantastic team environment with opportunities to learn from incredibly talented people.
• Generous benefits, including fully paid private health care with Medibank, additional wellness days off, phone usage reimbursement, gym membership, and a subsidy for 5 volunteer days per year to give back to the community.
