Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Kanopicover Full time
Overview

Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer role at Kanopi.

Kanopi is a data-driven insurtech that pushes the boundaries of how insurance is delivered. Some of the world's largest insurers come to us for reliable, flexible technology to create cover that protects and adapts to customers' changing needs.

Please note: this is a hybrid role, and while we have a preference for candidates based in Melbourne or Sydney, we are looking for the very best - so if this sounds like you, please still apply. Roles are based in Australia, and we are not currently hiring anyone based overseas.

The role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing, developing and scaling our platform in a startup environment. Beyond writing high-quality code, you will lead technical discussions, mentor engineers and make architectural decisions that balance scalability, maintainability and user experience.

Success in this role means delivering incrementally and efficiently, making thoughtful trade-offs between technical complexity and product design to maximise impact. You will work closely with the product manager and engineering team to build robust, secure and maintainable software while ensuring best practices in architecture, security and testing.

This is an opportunity to shape the future of our platform and contribute to a fast-moving and innovative business.

The tech

The technology is current and inherently exciting. In order to kick goals, you will need to be comfortable operating within these technologies and practices:

  • Programming Languages: TypeScript, Python.
  • Frameworks & Libraries: React, Node.js, Django.
  • Development Environment: MacBook (provided).

Demonstrated Agile experience is important, and we'd love to hear if you've worked with Test-Driven Development processes before. Bonus points if you know your way around design systems, and if you've worked on API integrations.

What you will do every day
  • Design and develop new features and improvements with a focus on scalability and security.
  • Make key architectural decisions that support maintainability and performance.
  • Support and mentor mid-level engineers, reviewing code and sharing knowledge.
  • Contribute to technical strategy, ensuring that engineering efforts align with business objectives.
  • Improve CI/CD pipelines, testing frameworks and overall development processes.
  • Collaborate in an adaptive and iterative agile process that values feedback, transparency and shared ownership.
What you will bring to the role
  • At least six years of professional software development experience.
  • A strong background in designing scalable software architectures.
  • Experience mentoring engineers and providing technical guidance.
  • A track record of working in teams that prioritise communication, trust and adaptability.
Why Join Us
  • Influence technical decisions and help shape the future of our platform.
  • Work on meaningful projects that solve real problems for users.
  • Take ownership of architectural improvements and contribute to a growing engineering culture.
