Soniq Digital Media Pty Ltd is looking for a Full-Stack Software Developer to help build Cybercast, our digital signage platform. Most of your work will be in our Go microservices on AWS. You'll also work on our built-in AI assistant and our MCP server, and on our React-based CMS front-end. You'll use AI coding tools every day, and we hold the code they help produce to a high bar: contract-first APIs, tests against real dependencies, and automated checks on every change.

What you'll be doing

As a Full-Stack Software Developer, you will be responsible for:

- Build and maintain backend services in Go , inside a monorepo with clear boundaries between services
- Design APIs contract-first with OpenAPI, generate server and client code from the spec, and evolve APIs without breaking clients
- Work with PostgreSQL : schema design, and safe expand/contract migrations
- Build event-driven flows with Kafka and Protobuf
- Build AI features in our assistant (TypeScript/Bun ): LLM integration, tool calling, agent workflows and web search
- Extend our MCP server so AI clients can safely use the Cybercast API
- Write and maintain AI evals and guardrails so AI features behave reliably in production
- Contribute to the React CMS front-end when features span the stack
- Deploy on AWS (EKS/ECS, S3, SQS, IoT, EventBridge) through CI/CD and GitOps
- Use AI coding assistants (e.g. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) as part of your daily workflow, and own the code they help you write
- Write integration tests against real dependencies, keep observability (OpenTelemetry) in place, and record design decisions as ADRs

Required Skills & Experience

To succeed in this role, you should have:

- 2+ years of professional software development experience
- Strong backend experience in Go (or strong backend experience in another language and a willingness to get productive in Go quickly)
- Solid SQL / PostgreSQL experience, including migrations on live systems
- Experience designing REST APIs, ideally contract-first with OpenAPI




- Working knowledge of TypeScript
- Hands-on experience integrating at least one LLM API (e.g. OpenAI, Claude/Bedrock, Gemini) into a real application
- Regular use of AI coding tools, with the judgement to know when their output is wrong
- Comfortable with AWS and containers (Docker)
- Proficiency with Git, pull requests and code review

Nice-to-Have (Highly Valued)

- Agent frameworks, tool use, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP)
- AI evaluation and LLM observability (graded evals, tracing, cost/latency tracking)
- AI security: prompt injection, data leakage, handling PII and secrets safely
- Authorisation and identity: SpiceDB/Zanzibar-style permissions, OAuth/OIDC, token exchange
- Feature flags (OpenFeature)
- React front-end experience

What Success Looks Like

- You ship features, AI-powered and otherwise, that are stable, secure, and easy to maintain
- You use AI tools to move faster, and the code you merge is still code you'd defend in review
- You keep API and event contracts compatible, and migrations safe on a live database
- You spot performance, reliability, or AI-quality risks early and address them
- You help improve our engineering practices (testing, CI/CD, observability, ADRs, AI tooling)

AI: TypeScript/Bun assistant (OpenAI Agents SDK, Anthropic via Bedrock), MCP server, evals

Front-end: React (CMS)

Cloud & ops: AWS (EKS/ECS, S3, SQS, IoT, EventBridge), CDK, Argo CD/Kargo, OpenTelemetry, OpenFeature
