The opportunity

We're looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer who can help us build better tools for teachers and students. At Atomi, we're working to improve how people teach and learn, and we need someone who can deliver thoughtful, end-to-end solutions that make a real impact in the classroom. In this role, you'll collaborate with a passionate team to create engaging experiences and scalable systems—while continuing to grow as an engineer across the stack.

We're looking for someone who understands how fullstack engineering can directly impact teaching and learning outcomes. You'll work across the stack, support evolving technical directions, and help create products that really matter in classrooms around the world.

This is a fully remote position, allowing you to work from anywhere in Australia. Our headquarters is located in Ultimo, Sydney, and you're welcome to work there whenever you'd like.

• Build and maintain fullstack features across our platform—ranging from classroom management tools to rich learning experiences
• Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and frontend/backend engineers to deliver thoughtful, scalable solutions
• Contribute to the ongoing development of our frontend features using React, and TypeScript
• Extend and evolve our backend services, currently built in PHP (Laravel) with a longer-term move towards NestJS
• Work with data in meaningful ways—whether it's enabling analytics features, supporting data pipelines, or helping the team make informed product decisions
• Ensure performance, scalability, testing, and accessibility are first-class concerns in everything you build
• Mentor mid-level and junior engineers, helping them grow while leading by example

• Proven experience as a Senior Fullstack Engineer, ideally within a fast-moving product or SaaS environment
• Strong skills in both frontend and backend development
• Frontend: React, Next.Js, and TypeScript
• Backend: Experience with PHP (Laravel or similar). NestJS experience a plus, but not required.
• Comfort working across the stack and context-switching between backend services and frontend interfaces
• Familiarity with data analytics, whether through building data-informed features, analytics tools, or integrations with data platforms
• A focus on writing clean, maintainable code with an emphasis on scalability, performance, and testing
• A pragmatic mindset—you're just as comfortable diving into legacy code as you are planning for the future

• Tailored flexibility: Enjoy work-life balance with hours that adapt to your needs, whether for university, family or personal time.
• Generous leave: Experience unlimited paid leave options as a permanent team member.
• Location Independence: Work from Sydney, interstate or wherever you find inspiration.
• Growth and development: Use ongoing opportunities to improve your skills and expand your knowledge.
• Holistic wellbeing: Benefit from a comprehensive employee assistance program subscription and additional wellbeing leave, supporting your best self.
• Parental support: Enjoy 14 weeks of paid leave for new parents, with additional leave specifically for birthing parents.
• Work with the best: We know you want to work alongside the best, so we work hard to hire only the best.
• Regular social in-person and remote events: Including team sports competitions, trivia nights and themed annual events.
• Atomi access: Enjoy free Atomi services for you and your family.
• Onsite teams: Our Sydney office is ideally located in a central setting with cafes, shops and public transport nearby.
