Job Description

The Opportunity:

Flywire is reimagining how software is built. We are looking for an early-career Software Engineer I 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 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 fast-paced team dedicated to expanding our platform’s capabilities, speed, and scalability. As an early-career engineer at Flywire, you won't be stuck writing mundane boilerplate. Instead, you will plug directly into our deeply integrated AI ecosystem, operating as an AI-augmented developer from day one. We provide hands-on, daily access to premium enterprise AI tools like Claude Code, offering you a rare opportunity to accelerate your technical growth, architectural understanding, and coding velocity far beyond what is typical for an entry-level role.

With the AI handling the heavy lifting, your focus elevates to core software craftsmanship. You will serve as the critical thinker and safety rail:



learning to validate data structures, ensuring strict FinTech security compliance, tuning database performance, and guiding AI outputs into production-ready, enterprise-grade software.

What You’ll Do:

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

- Critical Evaluation: Collaborate with senior engineers to evaluate AI-generated solutions and peer code against real-world performance, edge cases, and object-oriented design best practices.

- Global Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams across the globe including senior architects, product, SRE, and security to ensure recent features meet strict FinTech security and scaling requirements.

- Client Implementation & Support: Assist in the technical implementation of our product for new and existing clients, helping to resolve technical requests in partnership with our application support teams.

- Feature Enhancement: Assist in identifying, designing, and building product enhancements to streamline client workflows and ensure the best possible application responsiveness.

- Lifecycle Participation: Participate in continuous improvement across the development lifecycle, following standard procedures to analyse technical situations and deliver reliable solutions.
