Meet NetEngine and Scout Talent: Where Ideas Turn into Impact

NetEngine is a distributed software engineering company, offering a range of technical and digital solutions and services to clients of all shapes and sizes locally, across Australia and globally. This is a hybrid role, offering the flexibility to work remotely while also collaborating in person as needed.

While our development skills are through the roof, we also have human skills - which means we can crack a joke, drink litres of coffee, and have a Friday arvo beer with our colleagues and clients. Our technical and people skills mean we tend to nurture and build long-term partnerships with our clients.

We deliver solutions and products with clear, user-friendly interfaces, ensuring the software development journey is seamless across a range of industries and innovations.

NetEngine is part of Scout Talent Group (STG), a service-enabled SaaS business delivering outstanding talent software and services which help our clients to grow their organisations. Our Group Purpose (our ‘Why’) is to connect people to grow companies, careers and communities.

STG is paving the way when it comes to recruitment and talent tech, and we plan to IPO within 2-3 years.

NetEngine is looking for a full-time Ruby on Rails Developer, based in Brisbane (Hybrid).

You’ll be joining a collaborative engineering team working on existing products, improving performance, fixing bugs, and building features that matter. Reporting to a senior tech lead, you/'ll have autonomy and ownership while working alongside other brilliant minds who love clean code, scalable systems, and solving real business problems.

More specifically, your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

- Writing and maintaining high-quality, well-tested Ruby on Rails code
- Architecting and scaling complex applications
- Optimising server and database performance
- Integrating multiple systems into new and existing platforms
- Supporting PMs to make smart technical decisions
- Collaborating and knowledge sharing with a distributed dev team

While this is a Brisbane-based role, we welcome interstate applicants looking to relocate to sunny Queensland. We don’t offer relocation expenses, but we’re happy to accommodate online interviews and support a smooth remote hiring process.

The Green Flags We’re After

- Strong testing practices – Capybara, RSpec, etc.
- Performance tuning and scaling systems
- AWS deployment knowledge
- DevOps and CI/CD familiarity
