Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop scalable, reliable backend services using modern frameworks and tools

  • Maintain and improve service health, observability, and incident resilience in partnership with your team

Requirements

  • You have strong Java fundamentals and can confidently write production-grade code, applying backend concepts like multithreading, service design, and performance optimisation in real-world systems
  • You're comfortable taking ownership of features end-to-end—from architecture to delivery—and thrive in environments where you drive the 'how'

  • You're a thoughtful collaborator who works well across disciplines and proactively brings others on the journey
  • You understand the bigger picture—how your systems connect to product goals, reliability, and long-term scalability
  • You enjoy mentoring others, offering constructive feedback, and lifting the technical bar for your team
  • You have hands-on experience using AI in coding/programming to drive greater impact

Benefits

  • We offer a range of benefits to support your success in and outside of work
  • Equity packages
  • Inclusive parental leave policy that supports all parents & carers
  • An annual Vibe & Thrive allowance to support your wellbeing, social connection, office setup & more
  • Flexible leave options that empower you to be a force for good, take time to recharge and supports you personally
