What’s the opportunity?
A Software Engineer owns the day-to-day trade off between quality, time-to-build and cost-to-own. They work in close conjunction with an Engineering Manager and other engineers, together ensuring that their changes are estimated accurately, delivered to specification, and have high quality and low cost of ownership. The question they must continually ask themselves is “Am I making the right engineering trade-offs for this component?”
Here's how you'll do it:
Deliver quality work: The successful candidate will deliver work we are all proud of. Code is written to a high standard, and follows the conventions set by the team. Important aspects include, in consultation with their manager and other engineers (and especially QA Engineers), software that is easily testable and actually tested, and through that work correct and reliable. Depending on context, quality might include an emphasis on maintainability, readability, extensibility, generality, scalability and cost of ownership.
Fit-for-purpose Design: supported by their manager and peers, the successful candidate will spend time mindfully designing software that meets the specification and coheres with other parts of the system. Design is detailed enough to estimate work. It is based on an understanding of impacts on customers and other components, and includes explicit identification of and mitigations for risks (e.g. privacy, security, dependencies).
Professional Growth: the baseload work of Software Engineers is of course the actual delivery of software. They should be a little better tomorrow than they are today. They therefore are responsible for identifying and critically evaluating tools, techniques, trends and patterns, and the intentional application of them that most benefits the component being delivered. As Software Engineers grow within the role, they are expected to have a positive influence on the professional growth of others and a positive impact on the team.

- At least 2 years experience in a Software Engineering or similar role
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent vocational experience

What’s our technology stack?
The tech stack you’ll be using will depend on the team you’re working with. But the range of technologies we use means there are always opportunities for further growth and development.
Our platform is predominantly cloud-based (GCP), and we have a rich tapestry of architectural components and processes including:
- RESTful backend services (Go, Python, Java)
- Client-side static apps (React)
- Fit-for-purpose filtering clients deployed across laptops, mobiles, and tablets (Go, Java, C/C++)
- Deployment and orchestration via Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Run
- Distributed version control via Github and CI/CD via Github actions, Argo and CodeFresh. We follow trunk-based development and GitOps
- BigTable, BigQuery, Dataflow, Pub/Sub, PostgreSQL, Redis, Memcached, CockroachDB
We’d love you to apply, even if you don’t have experience with our entire tech stack. We’re pro-learning, good engineering and coding paradigms, rather than specific tools.
Shortlisting will commence immediately.
