Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with a high-caliber team of software engineers, product managers, and stakeholders to promote communication and coordination.
  • Work closely with other engineers, UI designers, and product managers to define stories, assess scope, and technical concerns.
  • Participate in code reviews and advocate for best practices that improve software quality and contribute to team growth.
  • Help drive the technical roadmap and direction of the stack.

  • You have a solid understanding of modern programming and design principles. You write tested, maintainable code that you're proud of, and you're committed to keeping code quality high.
  • You're passionate and knowledgeable about modern technologies and tools, without being biased toward a specific technology. You're more interested in finding the right tools and patterns for the job.
  • You're an excellent communicator. You can explain not just your ideas, but the reasons behind them, and you're comfortable communicating in person, over Slack or email, or in a code review.
  • You lead by example. You own your work, and hold yourself responsible for results. You might still be developing your leadership qualities, but you get stuck in and aim to inspire the people around you.
  • You love to teach as well as to learn. You don't hesitate to ask for help, and you're always ready to provide help when needed because you want the whole team to grow.

What We Offer

  • Base salary, plus super, plus equity.
  • A preference for a Sydney, Australia-based employee who can work hybrid/on-site.
  • A remote-first environment where teams prioritize over individuals, innovative problem-solving, and operational efficiency.
