Salary: $130,000–$160,000 + super

Employment: Permanent, full-time


Join an established Australian technology business building secure, high-availability software used by customers nationwide.
You’ll work in a collaborative product engineering team and own meaningful features from technical design through to production. This is ideal for an engineer ready to move beyond ticket-based delivery and take responsibility for increasingly complex work.

What you’ll do

  • Deliver features across Node.js services, React applications, APIs and integrations
  • Own work from requirements and technical design through to testing and release
  • Translate customer needs into practical technical solutions
  • Contribute to testing, observability, documentation and production reliability
  • Explain technical decisions and trade-offs clearly
  • Use AI-assisted development tools responsibly to improve delivery
  • Collaborate with engineers, product stakeholders and other business teams


What we’re looking for

  • Professional software engineering experience in a product environment
  • Strong foundations across APIs, data, testing, debugging and production delivery
  • Experience independently delivering features or project workstreams
  • A backend-leaning skill set with the ability to contribute across the stack
  • Clear communication and the ability to work effectively in a remote team
  • A practical understanding of code quality, security and maintainability
Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, React, AWS, SaaS platforms or event-driven systems will be beneficial but isn’t essential.


Applicants must be based in Australia and have full Australian working rights. A background check may be required.
