Senior Software Engineer - TypeScript, Serverless Systems
Sydney | Hybrid | $200k + Super
This role is for engineers who care about how systems behave under real-world conditions, not just how fast features ship.
You'll work on production systems where money moves, decisions have consequences, and correctness matters more than velocity.
Why this role exists
* Build and evolve a serverless, cloud-native platform on AWS
* TypeScript is a first-class language across the system
* Work on real, distributed systems with real constraints
* Solve problems where correctness and reliability matter
How you'll work
* Design and build serverless services in AWS using TypeScript
* Own meaningful parts of the system end to end
* Make technical and architectural decisions without babysitting
* Design for retries, idempotency, failure modes, and recovery
* Improve system quality over time, not just close tickets
Autonomy is real - but it's autonomy without chaos.
What we're looking for
This isn't about titles or years. It's about engineering temperament.
You're likely someone who:
* Has strong Computer Science fundamentals and applies them practically
* Has hands-on, commercial experience building serverless systems on AWS
* Is genuinely strong in TypeScript, not just familiar with it
* Understands distributed systems, trade-offs, and failure modes
* Cares about production quality and system behaviour
You may be full stack, but you're systems-first, not UI-first.
Technical environment
* AWS-first, serverless architecture
* TypeScript across backend and API layers
* Event-driven services and managed cloud infrastructure
* CI/CD, monitoring, and operational ownership
You don't need every AWS service memorised, but you do need real experience operating production workloads.
What this role offers
* Trust - meaningful ownership without micromanagement
* Depth - real systems, not surface-level features
* Longevity - career capital, not resume padding
* Respect - quality over heroics
Package
* $200k + Super
* Sydney-based, hybrid working
* Australian working rights required
If you're a TypeScript-focused engineer with real AWS serverless experience and you enjoy building systems where correctness matters, send me your CV for a confidential conversation.
No hype. No noise. Just good engineering.
