Overview

Senior Software Engineer - TypeScript, Serverless Systems Sydney | Hybrid | $200k + Super

This role is for engineers who care about how systems behave under real-world conditions, not just how fast features ship.

You'll work on production systems where money moves, decisions have consequences, and correctness matters more than velocity.

Why this role exists

Build and evolve a serverless, cloud-native platform on AWS

TypeScript is a first-class language across the system

Work on real, distributed systems with real constraints

Solve problems where correctness and reliability matter

How you'll work
Design and build serverless services in AWS using TypeScript
Own meaningful parts of the system end to end
Make technical and architectural decisions without babysitting
Design for retries, idempotency, failure modes, and recovery
Improve system quality over time, not just close tickets

Autonomy is real - but it's autonomy without chaos.

What we're looking for

This isn't about titles or years. It's about engineering temperament.

You're likely someone who:
Has strong Computer Science fundamentals and applies them practically
Has hands-on, commercial experience building serverless systems on AWS




Is genuinely robust in TypeScript, not just familiar with it
Understands distributed systems, trade-offs, and failure modes
Cares about production quality and system behaviour

You may be full stack, but you're systems-first, not UI-first.

Technical setting
AWS-first, serverless architecture
TypeScript across backend and API layers
Event-driven services and managed cloud infrastructure
CI/CD, monitoring, and operational ownership

You don't need every AWS service memorised, but you do need real experience operating production workloads.

What this role offers
Trust - meaningful ownership without micromanagement
Depth - real systems, not surface-level features
Longevity - career capital, not resume padding
Respect - quality over heroics

Package
$200k + Super
Sydney-based, hybrid working
Australian working rights required

If you're a TypeScript-focused engineer with real AWS serverless experience and you enjoy building systems where correctness matters, send me your CV for a confidential conversation.

No hype. No noise. Just positive engineering.
