Senior Backend Engineer (Distributed Systems, Go)

We are partnering with a high-calibre, engineering-led company operating in a live market environment where software correctness has real financial impact. This is a senior individual contributor backend role focused on building and evolving distributed systems at the core of the platform.

If you’ve worked in high-scale environments (think FAANG/MAANG-level engineering standards) but are now craving more ownership, less process theatre, and closer proximity to real-world outcomes - this will resonate.

The stack is primarily Go, with Python across data-intensive components. Engineers work directly with the business - there’s no heavy product layer insulating decision-making - and are expected to own problems end-to-end: architecture, implementation, and production behaviour.

This is where deep R&D meets production every day.

The Role

You’ll be:

• Designing and building distributed systems in Go
  
  

• Turning core research and innovation into production-grade systems
  
  

• Owning architecture, implementation, and operational behaviour
  
  

• Working directly with stakeholders to define and solve problems
  
  

• Operating in a small, low-hierarchy engineering team
  
  

This is not a feature-delivery or ticket-driven environment. It’s a builder’s role.

What They’re Looking For

Strong alignment:

• Deep backend and distributed systems experience
  
  

• Background in high-reliability environments (e.g. financial systems, trading, infrastructure-heavy platforms)
  
  

• Startup exposure preferred
  
  

• Comfortable with ambiguity and defining your own work
  
  

• Motivated by impact and capability over titles
  
  

They are deliberately screening for engineers who want to spend most of their time writing meaningful code. Candidates who lean heavily on hierarchy, rigid process, or title progression as the primary measure of growth are unlikely to thrive here.

Growth is abundant - but it’s capability-led, not title-led.

Compensation

• Good Base Salary
  
  

• Equity dependent on experience
  
  

• 4-year vesting with 12-month cliff
  
  

• Accelerated vesting on exit
  
  

Interview Process

1. Initial technical + culture screen
   
   

2. 90-minute technical deep dive (Q&A + whiteboarding)
   
   

3. Final screen
   
   

If you’re an experienced backend engineer who thrives in low-bureaucracy environments and wants to build high-integrity systems where correctness genuinely matters, I’d love to have a confidential conversation. Send your resumes and queries to reema@theonset.com.au

The ERP Manager will lead the adoption, integration, and optimisation of NetSuite across finance and supply chain teams. While the organisation has been using NetSuite for the past two years, overall usage and adoption remain low. The role will build on the strong usage by the small finance and supply chain team, expanding adoption across the business and onboarding new users, particularly as the finance team is eager to engage more with NetSuite. The logistics team has many requests focused on bringing third-party integrations onto the platform.

They will act as the main consultant for internal and external stakeholders, capturing requirements, understanding pain points, and advising on feature builds, system upgrades, and the replacement of the current integration platform. They will drive adoption to reduce order errors and improve operational efficiency, manage small projects, and prioritise work to ensure ERP initiatives meet business objectives. They will also lead and mentor a small team, while partnering across finance, supply chain, and logistics teams to optimise workflows, enhance processes, and deliver ongoing integration, upgrade, and maintenance improvements.

The ideal candidate has strong NetSuite and ERP experience and a proven ability to drive adoption, operational improvements, and stakeholder engagement while leading a small team.

UX/UI Product Designer - High Growth Fintech

• Solve complex business and user problems
• Work across the full product lifecycle
• Shape the user experience of a growing B2B SaaS platform
•  

Our client's philosophy is simple: design is never done and due to incredible growth, they are looking for a talented, curious and versatile Product Designer who thrives on solving complex business and user problems; someone who never stops pushing their work to be better.

This is a hands-on, hybrid UX and UI role, suited to a designer who wants to work across the full product lifecycle from research, ideation, prototyping, testing and delivery. You’ll play a key part in shaping the user experience of a growing B2B SaaS platform that’s transforming a traditionally complex process into something intuitive and effortless.

You’ll collaborate with a tight-knit product and engineering team to design platform features that adhere to established principles and extend the design system, while also working directly with clients and testing with real users.

There is an existing small but mighty design team in place so there's plenty of scope for ownership, creative problem-solving and innovation. If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and working across a broad design space, this is your next move.

You’ll:

• Design and deliver end-to-end experiences for a B2B SaaS product.

• Conduct user research and translate insights into elegant, practical solutions.

• Create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs that bring ideas to life.

• Collaborate closely with engineering and client teams to bring your designs to production.

• Support client projects with customised, branded design assets.

• Continuously look for ways to improve our processes, products and design system.

You bring:

• Solid product design experience (not just websites - actual digital products and systems).

• A portfolio showcasing strong visual, interaction, and UX design across web applications.

• Experience designing B2B or complex multi-user platforms.

• Proficiency in Figma and a solid grasp of responsive design principles.

• The ability to collaborate across time zones (Australia + Europe).

• A mindset of curiosity, creativity and continual improvement.

You’ll join a forward-thinking product business that’s known for pushing boundaries in user experience and currently in an exciting phase of rapid growth.

If you love the craft of design, want to see your work have real impact and believe great design is never truly finished, I'd love to hear from you.

For more information please apply online or call Michelle Rubinstein at The Onset on 0413 463 043.

Senior Backend Engineer | Tech That Actually Does Good

Some companies just ship features.
Others ship stress.
This team ships meaningful tech - for customers, for their people, and for the planet.

They’re the only Australian tech company in their space with B Corp certification, proving that high performance and high standards (ethical, environmental, and human) can coexist.

You’ll join a seriously strong engineering group - people from Google and other global tech names - building systems that millions rely on every day, even if they don’t realise it. The environment is high-impact but low-ego: thoughtful engineering, real collaboration, and work that stands for something.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Designing and building backend systems that handle real complexity - cleanly and at scale

• Raising the bar for engineering quality through thoughtful reviews and technical leadership

• Working closely with product, design, and data to deliver features that have genuine user impact

• Contributing to architectural decisions across a modern, evolving platform

• Helping shape engineering culture where autonomy, trust, and craft matter more than red tape

What You Bring

• Strong backend experience with Python (Django, Flask, or FastAPI)

• Solid cloud knowledge (AWS or Azure) and experience with CI/CD pipelines

• Experience building scalable, resilient systems in production

• Familiarity with microservices, event-driven architecture, and distributed systems

• A track record of mentoring or supporting other engineers

• A mindset that values simplicity, clarity, and long-term quality over quick hacks

Why This Role Stands Out

Because this is a place where:

• Engineers care about the impact of what they build

• Quality isn’t sacrificed for speed

• Ethics and innovation aren’t seen as trade-offs

• You can do some of the best technical work of your career - without burning out

If you’re looking for a role that stretches your technical thinking and aligns with your values, this is worth a conversation.

Own Strategic Technical Partnerships in Deep Tech

Imagine sitting at the intersection of product, engineering, and commercial. You will own critical external partnerships from first technical conversation through to successful field deployment.

This is your opportunity to play a pivotal role in scaling breakthrough hardware technology from prototype to real-world impact.

We’re looking for a commercially astute, technically credible operator who can combine structured thinking with hands-on delivery.

In this role, you’ll:

• Lead technical scoping conversations and convert qualified opportunities into active partnerships.

• Translate complex engineering capability into clear, aligned partner requirements.

• Own delivery across field trials and early deployments, ensuring performance meets expectations.

• Build trusted relationships with technical and commercial stakeholders, including government-adjacent organisations.

• Establish repeatable partnership processes that enable scale as the business grows.

The ideal candidate has experience in hardware, engineering, or deep tech environments, thrives in ambiguity, and is comfortable managing multiple stakeholders across technical and commercial teams.

It’s end-to-end ownership of partner outcomes in a company moving from prototype to product at a pivotal growth stage.
