Senior Backend Engineer

Sydney based - 3 days in office

Typically when looking to join a scale-up people tell me they want an awesome founding team, a product which is genuinely disruptive and a solid roadmap with great customers.

So if you’re looking for the same, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better opportunity than this one. Here’s why:

• Two hugely successful founders who founded and exited two major Australian tech businesses.

• Three recent strategic hires into the leadership team from Canva and Dovetail

• The product is changing the way Gen Z get jobs using AI, video, chat and social media

• Used by most major Australia's tech companies with plans to expand into the US 

You’d be joining a company with an already successful product that is about to go into overdrive. Having recently made a key CTO hire, everything is being rebuilt. You’ll be working closely with the senior engineering team to redesign and build 2.0.

It’s a small team but with big impact and you’d be a key part of it. You’d be working closely with an A-team and have the support of a team of engineers. 

It’s a senior role where you’ll be across the stack from an architectural perspective but you’d be focused on the backend.

Tech stack is a mix of Typescript, NodeJS, & NestJS - some Python for ML - Next.js for BFF - Terraform, AWS, Neo4J and VectorDB. You don’t need to know it all, just be a solid backend engineer. You’d be working with LLMs so understanding how the whole product is built and being able to dive in where needed would be super beneficial.

You’ll be developing scalable robust, high-performing and scalable backend systems and partner with ML Scientists, Product Managers to craft solutions that leverage data insights for software products. You’ll be responsible for the architecture and development of backend APIs, DBs & infrastructure across.

You’ll need to be senior for this role and so if you’re a Tech Lead / Principal / Staff level and it seems interesting, get in touch - for the right person, we can build a role (and package) around you.
