Software Developer

About Russell Technologies:

We are a small, self-funded team building a booking app for independent salons and tattoo studios. Customers who call us usually reach someone who wrote the code they are asking about. We started in 2018 and have grown to about 28 people. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

The role:

Russell Technologies is hiring for the Software Developer role on our operations team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. We are headquartered in Melbourne and have been hiring remotely since 2020. You will join as an independent contractor on a long-term agreement. Payment is monthly in USD. You will need some overlap with Australian Eastern time in the mornings.

Day to day:

• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents

What we're looking for:

• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Benefits:

• Monthly internet allowance
• Monthly payments via wire transfer or Wise
• Annual rate review
• Paid time off

Duration: 9 months. Start: Flexible.
