Senior Software Engineer

Who we are:

Small accounting firms in New South Wales use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. We keep recurring meetings to Tuesdays and Thursdays where we can.

The Senior Software Engineer will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Remote position. Most of the team is in Sydney, but nobody is required to come in. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish. A quiet workspace and good internet are required.

Your responsibilities:

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates

Who you are:

• 5-7 years of professional software development experience
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design

Desirable:

• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform
