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 explicit 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 robust plus
Effective use of AI coding tools, with a explicit view of where their output can and can’t be trusted
