We're REA

REA Group is not your average digital business. From humble beginnings in a garage in Melbourne’s east in 1995, we have grown into a leading global digital business, specialising in property.

With bold and ambitious goals, we are changing the way the world experiences property. No matter where you're at on your property journey, we're here to help with every step - whether that's finding or financing your next home.

Our people are the key to our success. At the heart of everything we do, is a thriving culture centred around high performance and care. We are purpose driven and collaborative, which drives innovation and our ability to make a real impact. As such, we’re proud to be named in Australia’s “Top 5” Best Workplaces two years in a row, as well as being recognised as a Best Workplace for Women.

Where the team fits in

The Enterprise Tech (ETech) team is responsible for providing the technology and data platforms underpinning REA's products, services, and operations. The team consists of around 160 people, which are distributed across the SPACE, Enterprise Technology and Data Services teams.

ETech is responsible for making all REA employees happy and productive by empowering them with technology. We also play an integral role providing strategic, commercial input and guidance around decisions across all levels of the business, while continually improving the ‘behind the scenes’ of REA to support our people, as well as providing support to all other functional areas of the business around the globe.

In conjunction with other senior team members, architecting well-structured and documented vendor and system integrations between our systems

Work with the ETech Leadership team to continuously improve ways of working and contribute to team and tribe culture

Take regular scheduled shifts on-call to support key services outside business hours

Contributing to the REA knowledge base through blog posts, brown-bags sessions and coaching less experienced members of the team
