AboutAbout Alumly Pty Ltd Alumly Pty Ltd (trading as Alumable) is a venture-backed early-stage Australian software company building the country's first "Earn While You Learn" micro-internship platform, connecting tertiary students with paid professional gigs.
We run a Laravel/MySQL platform and native iOS and Android apps, we move money between host companies and student workers, and we build product features on Anthropic's Claude models.The roleWe are seeking a senior Full Stack Developer to own Alumly's platform end-to-end — backend, mobile and AI features.
This is a hands-on individual-contributor role in a small team, with limited supervision and tight delivery commitments.
Two things make this role unusual, and both are hard requirements.
First, a substantial part of our engineering is transactional and financial systems work — payments, payouts and reconciliation that must be correct, auditable and secure.
Second, this is an AI-first engineering team: we build customer-facing features on Claude and we work natively inside agentic coding tooling.
We are not looking for someone who has used ChatGPT — we need a developer who has shipped and maintained LLM-backed features in production.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign, build and operate Alumly's payment, payout, billing and reconciliation systems in PHP (Laravel), including third-party payment provider integrationsEnsure secure handling of sensitive financial and personal data — encryption at rest and in transit, access control, defensible audit trailsDesign, implement and optimise MySQL schemas and complex queries for performance at scaleDesign and maintain a microservices architecture, applying Domain Driven Design and modular boundariesImplement asynchronous processing with message queues (RabbitMQ) and caching (Redis) for throughput and fault tolerance under loadDevelop and maintain Alumly's iOS and Android applications in React Native, and own the full release cycle through App Store Connect and Google Play — build provisioning, certificates, TestFlight distribution and store policy complianceDesign,
