Are you an early-career engineer who's already built something you're proud of and wants real ownership from day one? Join a fast-growing marketplace startup in a hands-on Graduate Software Engineer role.
Company Profile - Marketplace Startup
Our Melbourne-based client is an early-stage startup taking the hassle out of second-hand fashion, connecting people who want their wardrobes cleared out with a vetted network of local resellers, all powered by their own resale software suite. They've been recognised on a global stage, have come through one of Australia's best-known accelerator programs, and their volumes have tripled in a matter of weeks.
Job Description - Graduate Software Engineer
As a Graduate Software Engineer, you will take real ownership of building and maintaining two live apps, one for resellers and one for sellers, working hand in hand with the founders. Rather than being handed tickets, you'll be expected to come up with creative ideas and new features, build them properly and make sure everything works smoothly for the people using it.
You'll have unlimited AI credits and Claude Code is central to how the team builds, so you'll be shipping faster than you would almost anywhere else. This is a high-intensity, early-stage setting where the hours reflect the pace, and the harder you work, the more you're rewarded through equity.
Role Responsibilities - Graduate Software Engineer
Building new features across the reseller and seller apps
Maintaining and improving existing functionality as volumes grow
Using Claude Code and AI tools to build and iterate quickly
Bringing a UI/UX lens to everything you build




Coming up with creative feature ideas for both sides of the marketplace
Working closely with the founders on what to build next
Role Requirements - Graduate Software Engineer
At least 6 months of hands-on engineering experience, ideally at a big tech company or a startup
Something you've built and can demo, whether that's an app, a feature or a side project
Confident using Claude Code or similar AI coding tools
A good eye for UI/UX and how a product feels to use
Marketplace experience (rideshare, delivery, car sharing, resale or similar) would be advantageous
Confident and outgoing, comfortable sharing ideas in a small team
Australian citizens, PR holders, or visa holders with at least 2-3 years remaining
If you are a driven early-career engineer who loves building products and wants to grow with a startup that's taking off, we'd love to hear from you.
