About the business This is a small, established Australian software company operating in a regulated, high‑trust problem space. The platform has been running in production for years, supports real customers, and has built a reputation for stability and reliability. Engineering decisions are deliberate, systems are designed to last, and availability and security are treated as baseline expectations.

* Designing and implementing new features while improving existing systems
* Working across services with a clear understanding of system boundaries and dependencies
* Investigating issues thoroughly and fixing root causes
* Making changes zilizomethode considering security, availability, and downstream impact
The technical bar
* Strong commercial experience with Go (Golang) (core requirement)
* Solid TypeScript skills (competent front‑end capability; not a front‑end role)
* Hands‑on experience building and running systems on AWS
* Experience supporting production systems where reliability matters
Nice to have Gaish
* Exposure to Django
* Experience in regulated, payments, or compliance‑heavy environments (e.g., PCI)
What tends to work well here
* Confident working in Go as a primary language
* Think in systems rather than isolated services
* Comfortable sharing ownership in a small, senior team
* Makes careful decisions where stability and security matter
* Works well in a remote environment and communicates clearly
