Software Engineer (Developer Tools)

Public sector agencies, utilities and large health systems licence our asset management platform under multi-year contracts. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

Role overview:

The role is new and comes from growth in our client base. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Our team is spread across 8 countries. Headquarters is in Melbourne. Employment is through our payroll partner in Pakistan. Salary is paid monthly in Pakistani rupees. Core hours overlap with Sydney business hours until mid-afternoon.

In this role you will:

Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents. Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk. Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana. Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review. Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green. Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.

Qualifications:

2-4 years of professional software development experience. Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line. Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript. Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers. Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.

Perks and benefits:

Wellness allowance. Annual learning budget. Home office setup budget. 20 days paid time off. Monthly internet allowance.

Candidates must be eligible to work in Pakistan.
