Job Description

The Opportunity:

Flywire is reimagining how software is built. We are looking for an experienced, forward-thinking Software Engineer II with rock-solid Computer Science fundamentals to join our StudyLink team.

As a leading cloud-based admissions solution used by top universities across Australia and globally, StudyLink accelerates the application process for institutions, agents, and students. By combining our admissions platform with Flywire’s global payments technology, we streamline the entire student journey from recruitment and enrollment to tuition payments and agent commissions. Our product team is driven by a passion to enable people everywhere to achieve their educational goals by building technology that improves choice and access.

You will join a rapid-paced team dedicated to expanding our platform’s capabilities, speed, and scalability. A commitment to collaborative problem solving, pragmatic design, and building quality products is essential.

As an engineer at Flywire, you won't be bogged down by repetitive boilerplate. Instead, you will plug directly into our deeply integrated AI ecosystem, operating as an advanced AI-augmented developer. We provide you with premium enterprise AI tools like Claude Code, giving you the leverage to analyse complex codebases, architect new features, and modernise legacy systems at a velocity and scale that few traditional engineering environments can offer.

With AI multiplying your output, your focus elevates entirely to core software craftsmanship and architectural judgment.



You will act as the critical thinker and safety rail: validating complex data structures, ensuring strict FinTech security compliance, tuning database performance, and expertly guiding AI outputs into robust, production-ready enterprise software

What You’ll Do:

- AI-Driven Development: Direct AI development tools to read, analyse, refactor, and generate clean, secure, and testable code, accelerating your understanding of complex system interdependencies.

- End-to-End Ownership: Design, build, and maintain high-quality, scalable features. Exercise independent judgment in selecting methods and techniques to solve complex technical bugs and production issues.

- Critical Evaluation: Evaluate AI-generated solutions and peer code against real-world performance, edge cases, and object-oriented design best practices to ensure strict FinTech security, scaling, and performance requirements are never sacrificed for speed.

- Global Collaboration: Work collaboratively with cross-functional teams across the globe including senior architects, product, SRE, and security to deliver reliable solutions.

- Client & System Impact: Assist in the technical implementation of our product for current and existing clients, resolving complex technical requests in partnership with our application support teams.

- Lifecycle Leadership: Drive change and continuous improvement across all phases of the development lifecycle, identifying, designing, and building enhancements to streamline client workflows.
