If you/'re a forward-thinking professional eager to make a real impact, G’day Group is the place to elevate your career.

The Role

At the G/'day Group, we are in the middle of an exciting technical and cultural transformation. Our current front-end integrates three different technologies: Kentico CMS, JavaScript, and Flutter Web. While this has served us in the past, this combination is preventing us moving at speed.

We are migrating to a unified modern front-end platform that unifies our technology, creates clean separation between content management and core application logic, and enables modern development practices. You will be a key agent in this transformation, moving from our current complex architecture to a unified, modern system that enables rapid, reliable delivery.

This role will require you to:

- Build and design the new unified front-end architecture that replaces our current multi-technology stack
- Establish pragmatic testing practices that enable rapid, confident releases without excessive test maintenance burden
- Take ownership of front-end services and drive continuous improvement
- Work with product and design teams to deliver end-to-end customer experiences
- Help champion our accountability culture through weekly Friday showcases

Success will look like:

- Engineers can deliver and iterate with confidence under a pragmatic automated testing approach
- Daily releases instead of infrequent, risky deployments
- Clean separation between content management and core application functionality
- Teams focus on creating genuine user and business value, not just shipping features

Your Experience

You will have tertiary qualifications in computer science, Information Technology or a related field, plus strong experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (React/NextJS, Vue, Angular). You will have experience working in a high-accountability, high-performance engineering culture. You will have proven ability to take ownership and drive improvements in complex systems. Experience implementing pragmatic test strategies - knowing when to write unit, integration, or E2E tests for maximum confidence with minimum maintenance overhead.

Our engineering principles are:

- Critical Thinking- Challenge assumptions, propose alternatives
- Take Ownership and Accountability- Follow through on commitments, be transparent about progress
- Bias Towards Action- Start finishing, stop starting
- Iterative Delivery- Small increments, regular feedback, continuous improvement
- Holistic Thinking- Consider broader product and system implications
- Pragmatic Quality- Balance automation, observability, and maintainability
- Highly Valued:Experience migrating from complex, fragmented architectures, background in system consolidation or technical debt remediation, knowledge of monorepo architectures.

With our principles in mind, we need a skilled engineer who thrives on architectural transformation, takes ownership of outcomes, and wants to be part of transforming how we deliver software.

We/'re not looking for someone who wants a comfortable, traditional front-end role. We need a skilled engineer who thrives on architectural transformation, takes ownership of outcomes, and wants to be part of transforming how we deliver software.
