  • Experience building RESTful APIs (OpenApi) in-collaboration with mobile engineers
  • Experience in FinTech
  • Experience with using Cursor AI

What you'd be doing in this role:

  • Develop high-quality, scalable, and reliable software solutions using Laravel / Aurora MySQL / EventBridge on AWS
  • Evolve our PHP Laravel API codebase into a modular architecture (to then be migrated to TypeScript long term)
  • Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and mobile developers
  • Write feature and unit tests

Key responsibilities:

  • Building new features and products while enhancing the existing platform
  • Bringing new ideas to help drive the development forward
  • Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to ensure code quality and maintainability
  • Troubleshoot and debug issues in a timely manner
  • Optimise and enhance the performance of existing software solutions and infrastructure

  • Located in the heart of North Sydney, with easy access to the new Victoria Cross metro station and North Sydney train station
  • Fun, dynamic, and supportive working environment in a modern space
  • Hybrid working environment (we're in the office 3 days per week)
  • A close-knit team that values collaboration, innovation, respect, and fun - we hire our team based on both technical skill and workplace cultural fit
  • Opportunities for professional and personal growth
