Description

We're looking for a highly experienced Staff Software Engineer to join one of our pivotal product teams. This is a hands-on IC role, where you'll play a key part in shaping and delivering high-impact technical solutions while lifting the technical capability of your team.

You'll be expected to go deep on technical problems, design for the long term, and work with engineers to evolve our systems, architecture and practices. You'll be a multiplier – improving the quality, reliability and velocity of the entire team through technical leadership and collaboration.

What you will do

• Design and deliver large, strategic projects that may span services, domains, or sometimes even teams – and have a measurable business impact.
• Model strong system thinking – identifying the right abstractions, solving for the long term, and avoiding over-engineering.
• Raise the bar on quality and testability, introducing tools, patterns and practices that improve confidence in our code.
• Lead improvements to our platform – including developer experience, CI/CD, and service reliability.
• Make our systems easier to observe and operate, reducing the time to detect, debug, and resolve issues.
• Contribute to our application security posture, proactively designing and advocating for secure solutions.
• Stay current with emerging technologies, bringing in the right ones at the right time to help us move faster or safer.
• Coach and mentor engineers on the team, helping them grow through design reviews, pair programming, and technical advice.
• Work collaboratively with product, design, and operations to ensure we build solutions that truly meet customer and business needs.
  
  

What we are looking for in this hire

• Are outcome-oriented – you care about whether what you built actually made a difference.
• Take pride in building systems that are simple, secure, observable and maintainable.
• Have excellent technical judgment and can make clear, defensible tradeoffs in the face of ambiguity.
• Have a growth mindset and enjoy collaborating, mentoring and raising the bar for those around you.
• Have a strong experience building software solutions in complex, distributed systems.
• Are great at debugging, diagnosing and improving systems at the root cause level.
• Are experienced in domain modelling, service-oriented architecture, and scaling systems pragmatically.
• Are trusted by teammates as a calm, clear-headed, and high-impact engineer.
• Are skilled in modern programming languages and frameworks.Our stack is: TypeScript, ReactJS, Node.js, MySQL, AWS. That said, we're more interested in how you think than what you've used.
  
  

Benefits

• Hybrid Work Model: We'll support your commute with an allowance to cover travel expenses for in-office days. We'll also support your at-home work set up so you can thrive in both work environments
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP): Benefit from our ESOP, offering a stake in the company and aligning with our commitment to employee investment and growth
• Thank You Days: Receive additional days off as a token of appreciation, with the number increasing each year, capped at 5 extra days annually.
• Wellbeing Days: Enjoy 2 wellbeing days off per year so you can take time off to focus on your mental health.
• Discounted Novated Leasing Package: Take advantage of our significantly discounted novated leasing package, reflecting our expertise in finance.
• Work from Anywhere: For up to 4 weeks per calendar year, you can combine a holiday with work, spend more time with family, or explore a new city.
• Accelerate your Career: Take your professional growth to the next level with a Learning and Development budget and paid learning days, ensuring you have all the resources you need to excel in your career.
