Which team is this in

The Web Platform squad falls within the Consumer’s Channels and Search tribe in the Experience Engine portfolio. The Web Platform squad is responsible for developing and maintaining some of the largest and most critical web systems at REA, like Argonaut (Micro frontend web platform) and Sharpie (image service). Over 98% of releastate.com.au’s web traffic runs on the Argonaut platform, so it is critical for the team to ensure it is performant, secure and resilient. The Web Platform squad is driven to deliver value for all teams that build their applications on realestate.com.au 

Day to day of the job

As a Developer, you will be responsible for helping design, implement and maintain our solutions. You will be expected to implement solutions using mostly TypeScript, but also you will be well versed with cloud technologies (AWS) and REA CI pipelines. You will follow Agile software development practices such as test-driven development, continuous delivery and pair programming. 

You will form a part of a small, highly-collaborative, cross-functional team and will contribute to the success of REA’s bespoke Web Platform.

Responsibilities:

  • Coding, testing and deploying new software products using a variety of technologies and platforms.
  • Building high quality solutions that meet the needs of our users (web dev teams)
  • Contribute to technical design and team practices
  • Contribute to team huddles, kick offs and other team rituals
  • Writing up GitHub issues and providing in depth analysis on technical problems
  • Support production systems
  • Share learnings and knowledge
  • Perform code reviews
  • Pair with others and actively contribute to solutions

Who we’re looking for 

  • Skills and/or interest in variety of modern web technologies (Node JS, TypeScript, Jest, React, styled-components, webpack, Buildkite, Docker, AWS, NewRelic, Splunk)
  • Skills in modern software development techniques within TypeScript/JavaScript ecosystem, observability and continuous delivery
  • Some prior experience in maintaining software with one of the major cloud providers - preferably AWS
  • Ability to be effective in a collaborative team environment
  • Keep an open mind to solving most ambiguous problems through documentation and knowledge sharing with the rest of team
  • Can-do attitude and a record of showing initiative
  • Someone with experience working on Argonaut MFEs could be a bonus but not a strict requirement.

Some of these things might push you out of your comfort zone or you might be looking at this thinking you can absolutely flourish in this role… Whatever you think, we think you should throw your hat in the ring
