At Rome2Rio, our mission is simple: help travellers get from A to any B. We make it easy to compare flights, trains, buses, ferries, and driving routes - providing everything users need to discover, plan, and book their journey. Behind the scenes, we tackle complex routing challenges, process massive datasets, and optimise search performance to deliver fast, reliable results.
We're looking for a Software Development Engineer to join our Search Platform team in Melbourne. This team owns the infrastructure at the heart of Rome2Rio's product—from routing logic and data ingestion to UI interactions and search performance.
You'll have the flexibility to work as a Frontend, Backend, or Full Stack engineer, depending on your strengths and interests. Whether you're passionate about intuitive interfaces, robust APIs, or delivering value end-to-end, you'll play a vital role in shaping how people explore the world.
What you'll do
* Design, build, and maintain key components of the Rome2Rio search experience—either frontend, backend, or full stack.
* Collaborate with Product, Design, and Engineering to deliver features from concept to deployment.
* Write clean, testable, maintainable code in C# (.NET Core) and/or TypeScript (React).
* Build RESTful APIs and backend services to power fast, reliable travel search results.
* Help improve performance, observability, and system resilience across the stack.
* Participate in agile team ceremonies and contribute to technical planning and architecture.
* Infra & Tooling: GitHub Actions, CI/CD pipelines, observability tools (e.g., Sentry, Datadog), cloud-based deployments
What We're Looking For
* 3+ years of professional software engineering experience in a product company (B2B or B2C).
* Strong experience with C# and .NET Core for backend development, OR TypeScript and React for frontend—or both.
* Understanding of software engineering best practices: clean code, testing, version control, and performance optimisation.
* Comfortable collaborating in a cross-functional team and contributing to product delivery.
* A user-centric mindset and a drive to solve real-world problems through technology.
Nice-to-haves:
* Experience with server-side rendering frameworks or edge environments (e.g., Next.js, Cloudflare Workers).
* Familiarity with performance tuning, crash/error monitoring, and backend observability practices.
* Exposure to travel tech, routing algorithms, or search infrastructure.
Why Join Us?
Innovate & Impact: Work on a product that millions of travellers rely on.
Inclusive & Supportive Team: We welcome all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
Career Growth: Develop your skills with mentorship, knowledge-sharing, and leadership opportunities.
Flexible Work: Hybrid setup with a great work-life balance.
Explore Fund: Travel perks to help you experience the journeys you help create!
