Software Engineer

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.

The position

Tillerhall is looking for a Software Engineer 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 headquarters is in Melbourne, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. 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.

Responsibilities

• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.

What you need

• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.

Rate: ₹31,00,000-₹36,00,000 pa
