Software Engineer - C++

No call centre and no offshore help desk. When clients call, one of us picks up. Dentists, insurance agents and law offices make up most of the client list. Certification exams are paid for, and passing one comes with a raise.

Job summary

Mallardfield IT is looking for a Software Engineer - C++ to join a small, steady team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. We are headquartered in Melbourne and have been hiring remotely since 2020. You will be employed through our employer-of-record partner in Pakistan, with a local contract and salary paid in Pakistani rupees. You will need some overlap with Australian Eastern time in the mornings.

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
