Who we are

Ippon is a global tech consulting firm. Originating in France, we are a group of more than 650 tech enthusiasts worldwide, guided by a collective energy and strong taste for challenge.

Ippon Australia is a team of true technologists who leverage contemporary thinking and tools to enhance the way our clients drive value. Whether it's a bespoke platform to improve employee engagement within a national retail chain, or developing an app that provides next level direct customer interaction; value is delivered to our clients when we begin by understanding the business outcomes they desire and then apply our technical expertise to make these a reality. Our areas of expertise include Experience Design & Delivery, Software Engineering & Cloud and Data Driven Architecture.

Our software developers work closely with business analysts, experience designers, product managers and data engineers to solve user problems and help deliver compelling experiences.

As we embrace the next phase of growth, we are in search of a mid to senior Full Stack Developer to be part of our journey.

You'll work all the way from discovery to delivery and beyond to solve problems that are at the heart of some of our clients' most burning issues.

• Hands-on experience with cloud-based logging and monitoring software, such as Splunk, or AWS CloudWatch

At Ippon, we see things differently both in terms of how we work with our clients and how we engage with our people. As we are a relatively small team, albeit part of a global consultancy, we are focussed on quality, not quantity, when it comes to both our clients and our people. From a client perspective, we work with a select group of enterprises that genuinely value the innovation and value that we deliver.

From a people perspective we pay market leading salaries. But we also understand that professional fulfilment is not just about money. We actively support ongoing development in the form of training, attendance at conferences, etc, and we provide staff with the opportunity to contribute to the development and strategic direction of the business. Work life balance is key and we are a flexible organisation, offering 4 day a week option to support your personal and professional development.
