Senior Software Engineer | Sydney CBD, in office 4 days | $160,000 to $185,000 plus super An established client is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to help build a new product from the ground up. The business has been in their space for over a decade and is now building a small engineering team in Sydney, close to the business.

The work sits at the core of how the business makes credit decisions. In a system like that, a wrong answer costs more than a slow one, so correctness and testing come first. You’ll own a significant part of the platform from design through to production, working alongside a Principal Engineer and the Head of Engineering.

What you’ll be doing

- Design, build and run back end services, from rough shape through to production and the support that follows
- Integrate credit bureaus, banking and open banking feeds, accounting platforms, and identity and fraud providers
- Design observability alongside each feature and share on call for the services you own
- Write well tested code with transparent contracts between services,



and release frequently and safely
- Work closely with Credit and Operations, and raise problems early in plain language

What we’re looking for

- 5 years building and running back end services in production, TypeScript with Node
- Practical AWS experience, including managed data stores, infrastructure as code and CI/CD
- Experience with third party APIs you don’t control, and SQL that holds up under load
- Fintech, banking, insurance or other regulated experience is a strong plus
- Effective use of AI coding tools, with a clear view of where their output can and can’t be trusted
