Requirements
A senior full-stack engineer with 5+ years of overall industry experience, who demonstrates the following:
You will:
This isn't a role where you'll be told what to do. You are the decision-maker, empowered to figure things out and own your work from start to finish.
What success looks like:
In your first 30 days, your primary focus will be to deeply understand the business, the product, and the people behind it. Building strong relationships with your teammates and immersing yourself in our culture of collaboration will be essential. You'll be expected to quickly ramp up and begin making meaningful contributions to our engineering roadmap, while navigating a fast-paced environment where project timelines can be tight. Clear communication, curiosity, and a bias for action will set you up for success from day one.
After 3 months, you’ll be operating with a high level of independence and ownership, trusted to lead initiatives and deliver features that directly impact our roadmap and user experience. Your contributions will go beyond code; you’ll bring forward new ideas and perspectives, even in non-technical areas, helping us evolve how we think, collaborate, and build. Success will also be defined by your ability to work effectively amidst ambiguity, identifying gaps, improving processes, and contributing to internal documentation. Resilience and durability under pressure are key; we’re looking for someone who can remain focused and effective even when the heat is on. You’ll be seen as a key pillar in the team—someone who uplifts others, drives innovation, and helps shape the direction of our product and engineering culture.
The team:
We’re a globally distributed engineering team led by an experienced Head of Engineering and Principal Engineer, supported by a strong mix of senior and junior developers. The team includes five senior engineers and three junior developers, collaborating across multiple time zones to build and maintain high-quality, scalable products. With team members based in Melbourne, Tokyo, Turkey, Thailand, and India, we embrace a remote-first culture that values clear communication, ownership, and continuous improvement. Despite the distance, we work closely together with a shared focus on delivering impactful solutions and continuously evolving our engineering practices.
Note: We strongly encourage as much overlap as possible with the working hours of the HQ team in Melbourne, so as to maximize learning and expedite processes.
