Senior Software Engineer | Python / C++ / React

Melbourne or Sydney | Hybrid Working

Are you a Senior Software Engineer looking to work on complex, high-impact software used by thousands of customers?

We are partnering with a leading technology organisation within the financial services sector to find an experienced Senior Software Engineer to join a collaborative product engineering team.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll work across the full software development lifecycle, contributing to the development and evolution of a market-leading platform. You’ll be working on a mix of new features, product enhancements and existing systems, solving complex technical problems across multiple products and APIs.

The Role

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will:

- Design, develop and maintain high-quality, scalable and resilient software
- Work primarily across Python and C++ backend technologies, with some frontend development using React
- Contribute across multiple interconnected products and APIs
- Take ownership of work from initial design through to deployment and production support
- Build quality into the development process through automated testing and strong engineering practices
- Contribute to application architecture, clean code and scalable technical solutions
- Work closely with product, requirements, support and other engineering teams
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex production issues




- Improve engineering processes by identifying opportunities for automation and reducing manual effort
- Mentor and support less-experienced engineers within the team
- Contribute to a highly collaborative, knowledge-sharing engineering culture

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an experienced engineer with:

- Strong commercial experience in Python and/or C++
- A willingness and ability to work across both languages
- Experience with React or other contemporary frontend technologies
- Experience building and integrating APIs and complex software applications
- A strong understanding of automated testing and software quality practices
- Experience with CI/CD, source control and modern engineering practices
- Knowledge of software architecture, clean code principles and designing systems for scale
- Experience working in Agile environments
- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to navigate ambiguity
- A collaborative approach, with a willingness to mentor others and share knowledge

Experience within financial services, fintech or other complex product environments would be beneficial, but is not essential.

If you're a Senior Engineer who enjoys solving complex problems, working closely with talented engineers and having a genuine impact on the evolution of a large-scale software platform, we'd love to hear from you.
