We’re scaling fast and expanding our engineering team to keep up with our growing customer base across Australia and beyond.

We’re looking for a Software Engineer to help us design, build, and scale the next generation of our CorePlan products.

• Experience with software development practices and tools (e.g. AWS, Git, Docker, CI/CD, automated testing)

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills

• Good collaborative skills: shaping new features, reviewing code, and documenting code

• A bachelor’s degree in computer science or software engineering or similar is advantageous, but not essential.‍
