Job Title: Full Stack Developer.
Location: Melbourne, Australia.
Duration: Full -Time
Role Summary:
We're looking for a Fullstack Developer with experience working at a software vendor (SaaS, PaaS, or product company) and prior exposure to microservice -based or service -oriented systems. You'll be comfortable contributing across the stack and applying lessons learned from larger or more distributed architectures to an early -stage environment.
You'll help build and scale our backend and React -based frontend, working closely with the founders and early team. While our system is not strictly microservice -oriented, experience in microservice environments will help inform how you approach API design, service boundaries, scalability, and long -term system evolution.
Experience with data engineering tools—such as AWS Glue, Apache Airflow, Apache Kafka, or similar systems—is beneficial. This is not a data engineering role, but exposure to ELT concepts, asynchronous workflows, or data -intensive systems is a plus as the platform evolves.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys learning new things, experimenting to find the best solution, and thriving in the creativity and ambiguity of an early -stage startup.
Key Responsibilities / Your role in detail:
Build, maintain, and iterate on our core application across the backend and React frontend.
Develop new features end -to -end, from technical design through implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing improvement.
Apply experience from microservice or distributed -system environments to contribute to clean system design, well -defined interfaces, and maintainable service boundaries.
Partner closely with founders and product stakeholders to help define requirements and shape user -facing functionality.
Participate in system design discussions, architecture decisions, and long -term technical planning.
Collaborate on integrations and workflows that may involve asynchronous processing, data movement, or transformations.
Help establish and refine early engineering processes, coding standards, and development best practices.
Experiment, prototype, and explore ideas quickly to validate concepts and uncover the best solutions.
Skills, qualifications & Experience:
3+ years of professional software development experience (flexible based on candidate strength).
Experience working at a software vendor or product -based company.
Strong experience with JavaScript/TypeScript,, and modern frontend frameworks (React preferred).
Prior experience building or working within service -oriented or microservice -based systems, with an understanding of API design and system boundaries.
Ability and willingness to work as a fullstack generalist, contributing across frontend, backend, and system design.
Strong problem -solving and debugging skills.
Experience working in cloud environments (AWS preferred).
Comfortable operating in a fast -moving, ambiguous early -stage startup environment.
Nice to have:
Experience working in microservice or distributed architectures, even if the current role is not microservice -first.
Familiarity with event -driven systems, message queues, or asynchronous workflows.
Experience with data engineering or ELT/ETL tools (AWS Glue, AWS AppFlow, Apache Kafka, etc.).
Familiarity with data warehouses (Redshift, Snowflake, BigQuery) or orchestration tools.
Exposure to DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, or infrastructure -as -code.
Experience with observability concerns in larger systems (logging, monitoring, tracing).
Previous early -stage startup experience.
A strong passion for learning, experimenting, and exploring new technologies.
