Requirements
What you'll do
You'll take a high degree of ownership over the product's architecture and the team's velocity. You won't just own features; you'll own entire domains and the standards we use to build them. Specifically:
* Solve Real Problems: You will talk to customers and look at feedback to find out what we should build next. You won't wait for a ticket to tell you what to do
* Build for Scale: Using Elixir and React, you will design systems that can handle 10x our current number of users while staying fast and reliable
* Make Big Decisions: You will decide how to balance new features with keeping our code clean. You'll explain these choices clearly to the team and senior leadership
* Focus on the User: You will make sure everything we ship is easy and intuitive for students and teachers to use
What we're looking for:
* Senior Experience: You have spent 7+ years building and scaling products. You know what works and what usually breaks as a company grows
* Frontend Expertise: You are highly skilled with React and TypeScript
* Backend Knowledge: We use Elixir. If you know it, great. If not, we care more about your ability to understand complex systems and how data flows
* Self-Starters: You can take a vague idea and turn it into a clear technical plan that others can follow
What success looks like: In your first month, you'll have a deep map of our codebase and customer personas. You'll have shipped significant improvements and identified at least two areas where our processes or architecture could be strengthened. By three months, you'll be a cornerstone of the engineering team. You'll be leading major workstreams, influencing the product roadmap through your insights from customer data, and proactively leveling up the engineers around you. You'll be the person the team looks to when a problem is particularly thorny or undefined. The team: We're a team of eight engineers (five senior, three junior) led by an experienced Head of Engineering, Engineering Manager and Principal Engineer. While the team spans several time zones, this role is based in Melbourne on a hybrid basis. You'll work closely with teammates in the office and collaborate with our distributed colleagues across the week. Benefits Why Work With Us
* Real Ownership: You will have a major say in our architecture and our product roadmap
* Career Growth: We focus on mentoring and planning for your future so you can grow along with the company
* Inclusive Environment: We value different backgrounds and perspectives. If you love education and technology, you will belong here
* Work Your Way: We have a flexible, hybrid culture, with 2 anchor days weekly in our Melbourne HQ for when we need to collaborate in person, and the freedom to work from anywhere the rest of the week
