Full Stack Engineer | Sydney | Permanent
- Join a dynamic technology firm as a Full Stack Engineer.
- Build and maintain scalable SaaS applications on cloud infrastructure.
- Contribute to the design and development of backend services.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and innovative technology firm as a Full Stack Engineer, shaping the next generation of cloud platform technology. As the experienced developer you will have experience building scalable SaaS applications on cloud infrastructure, as well as contributing to the design, development and enhancements of backend services.
About the opportunity
- Join an established, Australian owned product business with customers across the globe.
- The platform is a cloud based SaaS product integrating with thousands of connected devices in the field, delivering real time data, automation and analytics to enterprise customers.
- Real engineering problems at scale: high volume device data, integration complexity, and availability that customers actually depend on
- A small development team where your work ships and your input on architecture genuinely lands
- Reporting to the Head of Development, with the chance to influence product direction, not just close tickets
The role
- Build and maintain RESTful APIs, webhooks and backend services consumed by connected devices, with an eye on performance and system design
- Design, optimise and maintain database structures, and build the data extraction and processing pipelines that sit behind them
- Use AWS to build secure, highly available systems, working with the team on CI/CD, deployments, infrastructure as code and scaling
- Own features end to end: design, build, deploy, monitor, iterate
- Work directly with clients and partners on requirements and troubleshooting, and give technical direction to external contractors
What you'll bring
- 5+ years in software development, ideally on SaaS or distributed systems
- 3+ years commercial JavaScript and TypeScript, including Node.js and Express.js
- Strong SQL: schema design, indexing, performance tuning and query optimisation
- Hands on AWS: EC2, Lambda, API Gateway, IAM, S3, CloudWatch, SNS/SQS
- A solid grasp of secure coding: authentication and authorisation, encryption, API security and OWASP practices
Also useful, though not essential: MQTT and IoT protocols (AWS IoT Core, Mosquitto, WebSockets), Angular, Docker and Kubernetes, Terraform, and experience building highly available systems with load balancers and failover.
Culture
- Small, collaborative development team working closely with product, design and internal stakeholders
- Strong emphasis on quality: unit, integration and functional testing, code reviews, and consistent standards across the codebase
- A business that has been around long enough to be stable, and is still growing
What's on offer
- $140,000 to $160,000 plus superannuation
- Genuine influence over architecture and product direction on a platform operating at real scale
- A supportive, growing team inside a well established business
- Onsite five days a week at Kings Park, with the option to work from a second Sydney office
