To excel in this role you must have a passion for creating high quality software that delights customers and is a joy to work on. You will enjoy the support of a highly experienced management team and get the opportunity to learn from other high calibre software engineers.
This is a hybrid role: 2 days in our offices in Sydney (Surry Hills), and 3 days remote.

- Writing clean, simple code that is easy for other developers to understand and maintain.
- Following existing design patterns and suggesting improvements where appropriate.
- Adding appropriate levels of automated test coverage where applicable.
- Shipping code with minimal defects so as to avoid re-work.
- Assessing the risk of each change and taking extra care when making critical changes that may alter the behaviour of the software in unintended ways.

- Taking ownership of work, responsibility for decisions and accountability for mistakes.
