About Us
The Solvar story began in 2000, with two office locations serving a few thousand consumers in Melbourne. Fast forward to today and we are a market leader in consumer and business lending, serving over 100,000 customers and quickly becoming one of Australia's most innovative financial services firms. We’re super passionate about what we do, who we do it for, and wholeheartedly believe in our combined purpose of ‘helping to solve life’s financial needs’. At Solvar we believe excellent technology starts with great people—and we’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive team where everyone can thrive. If you're a creative problem-solver who’s passionate about crafting seamless lending experiences, we’d love to hear from you. We are transforming the lending experience—and we’re looking for a talented Web Developer for a 6 month contract to help us do it.

About the role
We’re looking for an experienced Web Developer to join us for an initial 6-month contract, working on the development of Stage Manager 2.0 – a customer-facing application that will play an important role in our digital experience. This is very much a hands-on development role suitable for someone who enjoys getting into the detail, solving problems and building great web experiences. You’ll work closely with our existing developer and have the autonomy to independently design and build components of the application from the ground up. About you You’ll bring strong, recent experience in full-stack web application development, with particular strength in mobile-first frontend development. Ideally, you’ll have:
• Strong JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML and CSS skills

multi-step workflows and customer application journeys
• REST API integration and asynchronous workflows

• Salesforce or MuleSoft integration experience
• Experience working from Figma and partnering closely with UX/UI
• Financial services, lending or application/origination system experience Who will thrive in this role? Someone who is first and foremost a web application developer and builder.

If your strength is building intuitive, reliable customer-facing web applications and you’re looking for a project where you can make an impact quickly, we’d love to hear from you. Why Solvar?
