Senior Software Engineer

About Us:

At Fitness Passport, we are driven by a clear purpose — to make fitness more accessible, so more people can lead active and healthier lives. Established in 2006, we're a corporate health and fitness program partnering with the public sector, corporate employers, and leading fitness facilities across Australia and New Zealand, providing members with access to a wide range of gyms and wellness resources.

As we enter an exciting new phase of growth, Fitness Passport is executing an ambitious strategy while keeping our member experience a top priority.

The Role:

We're looking for a hands-on Senior Engineer with deep experience in front end design to help shape the future of our employee experience. This is not a pure coding role — you'll be actively involved in architectural decisions, mentoring other developers, and owning features from concept to production.

Our team follows a "you build it, you run it" philosophy — quality, testing, and production stability are shared responsibilities. You won't just be handed tickets — you'll be expected to challenge ideas, propose better ones, and drive elegant solutions that improve both the product and the platform.

Our team is AI-first: we use Claude and other AI tools to plan and write much of our code, automate PR reviews, and streamline workflows — freeing engineers to focus on higher-value work like architecture, innovation, and improving developer experience.

Collaborating with product managers, designers, and other engineers, you'll help deliver impactful solutions that enhance our digital touchpoints and improve our member experience.

What You'll Do:

• Design & Architecture: Lead technical discussions, contribute to system design, and make architectural decisions that shape our platform.
• Mentor & Guide: Provide thoughtful code reviews, pairing sessions, and technical coaching to help other engineers grow.
• Ownership & Quality: Take accountability for shipping, testing, monitoring, and supporting your work in production — we don't have a separate QA team.
• Collaborate Closely: Partner with product and design to deliver solutions that balance technical excellence with business impact.
• Clean code: Writing clean, efficient, modular, and scalable code using TypeScript, NestJS, React, NextJS, and GraphQL
• Deliver full-stack solutions: with a primary focus on front end design using React and modern HTML/CSS techniques
• Design-led engineering: Drive a design-led engineering approach, ensuring UI/UX principles are embedded into every stage of development
• Front-end performance: optimise accessibility, and responsiveness across devices and browsers

About You:

You are an experienced engineer who is pragmatic, resourceful, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. With a strong technical foundation and a problem-solving mindset, you're always looking for ways to improve digital experiences.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has 7+ years of engineering experience, including at least 1 year working with TypeScript, NestJS, React, NextJS, and GraphQL
• Experienced full-stack developer with a strong emphasis on front end design using react and modern CSS/HTML techniques
• Hands-on expertise in styling frameworks such as Tailwind CSS to deliver scalable, responsive, and maintainable designs
• Embrace and apply an AI-led engineering approach, utilising AI tools and methodologies to drive innovation, efficiency, and product excellence
• Takes a pragmatic, results-oriented approach, balancing technical excellence with real-world application.
• Has a strong ownership mindset, taking initiative and accountability for delivering impactful solutions.
• Collaborates effectively across teams to align technical solutions with business goals.
• Thrives in a high-growth, fast-moving environment and adapts quickly to change.
• Understands Agile methodologies, DevOps, and modern engineering practices.
• Is passionate about creating user-focused, high-performance digital products.
