Salary: $250K - $300K + Super + Equity
Location: Sydney, hybrid

We’re working with a well-funded AI startup building a technically complex product used by external customers at scale.

They have recently secured $10M in fresh funding, giving them solid runway and the ability to build deliberately.

The role is heavily backend-focused, with real ownership over systems that are already live and in production.

What they’re looking for:
8+ years of commercial software engineering experience
Ownership of a critical, high-impact production system
Strong backend engineering background
Polyglot experience, with willingness to work in Go
Robust experience designing,



building, and running systems on AWS
Computer Science degree
Evidence of coding beyond formal work (coding in high school, side projects, internships, genuine curiosity)

Why this role:
Engineering-led AI startup with a high technical bar
$10M in fresh funding and solid runway
Real customers and real problems
High ownership, low bureaucracy, meaningful technical influence

If you’re a senior software engineer who enjoys responsibility, depth, and building systems that are actually used, this is worth a confidential conversation.
