About DingGo
n DingGo builds modern technology and services transforming automotive claims and repair workflows across Australia. We are a collaborative, growing product team looking for a Junior Software Developer who brings sound programming foundations, high curiosity, great communication skills, and a strong sense of initiative.

n

If you want to understand how software, business context, product decisions, and real-world users connect, rather than just writing code in a silo, you’ll thrive here.

n

The Opportunity
n Join a tight-knit team working closely with senior engineers and technology leadership (including our CTO) to gain hands-on experience and take genuine, manageable ownership of your work. You'll start by learning our core platform (PHP / CakePHP) and business workflows, expanding into modern frontend interfaces (React) and modern tech practices over time. You will also have access to current AI-assisted development tools, supported by a team rhythm focused on using them safely, effectively, and responsibly.

What You’ll Do n

n
- Develop features, write clean code, and maintain our established PHP application while contributing to newer frontend and API interfaces as you grow
n
- Work with product managers, senior developers, and operational users to clarify requirements and explain technical concepts clearly
n
- Write tests, debug issues, perform focused workflow checks, and participate constructively in code reviews
n
- Dig into operational defects, figure out root causes,



and keep clear documentation to help your teammates
n
- Actively expand your understanding across backend services, relational data, and frontend components at a sustainable, supported pace
n

What We’re Looking For nn
- Practical software development experience (via employment, freelance work, or a substantial, real-world personal project)
n
- Ability to make complicated concepts simple and converse comfortably with both technical and non-technical teammates
n
- Evidence of starting useful things without waiting for every step to be mapped out for you (e.g., a maintained side project, process improvement, volunteer work, or past business venture)
n
- Ability to pick up new tools, frameworks, or domain logic independently and check your own work carefully
n
- Solid understanding of core programming concepts, basic SQL/relational databases, APIs, and Git version control
n

Why Join Us? nn
- Learn directly from experienced engineers while taking real ownership of bounded features early on
n
- Gain hands-on exposure to modern AI coding tools in an environment that values responsible review and output verification
n
- In office access to a free gym membership and swimming pool, conveniently located right near public transport
n
- Regular team lunches, office socials, themed days, and team celebrations
n
- Full-time office attendance during your initial onboarding period, transitioning to a flexible hybrid model (minimum 2 days/week in the Rhodes office) once established
