As a proud Certified B Corporation, we balance performance with purpose, putting people and impact at the centre of everything we do.

You’ll help power a team that’s striving for excellence and driven to perform at the highest level. 

To keep our momentum strong, we’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer who thrives on complexity, takes ownership, and is hungry to shape both technology and product direction.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Our flagship SaaS product, Jade Thirdeye, is at the forefront of our mission at Jade Software, enabling customers to detect and prevent financial crime. We are now seeking a Senior Software Engineer to play a guiding role in the development and maintenance of our Jade ThirdEye Product and have a seat at the table to influence the future of our evolving and growing product. We are excited about our vision, building a world class financial crime product and an exceptional team.

Key Responsibilities:

• As a Senior Software Engineer, you will use your knowledge and experience to mentor and guide other Engineers in the team and define technical direction.


• You take ownership of the coding, testing and deployment of applications and services that you build.


• Fully understand tools and languages used by the team and help shape development processes.


• Coordinate application development, implementation, and quality control to ensure that business and user requirements are delivered successfully

Why Jade?

At Jade, you’ll do the best work of your career, and it will matter. You’ll be part of a team that is:

• On a mission: fighting financial crime on a global scale.


• Ambitious, bold, and driven by impact.


• Invested in you: we offer a collaborative and supportive work environment, opportunities for growth, and the chance to be at the forefront of innovation in a rapidly evolving industry.


• Well supported: with outstanding benefits including comprehensive health, life, and income protection insurance, enhanced parental leave, and dedicated community time.

 What makes you stand out

• A senior full stack engineer with deep experience in C# and TypeScript.


• Proven expertise designing high-throughput, scalable systems in AWS.


• Familiarity with GitHub, Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform), and modern engineering practices.


• A natural mentor with the ability to make complex concepts simple for others.


• Experience in Angular or React is desirable, and exposure to machine learning is a bonus.


• Solid understanding of software engineering foundations: APIs, deployment pipelines, app servers, and databases.


• Strong communication skills that allow you to lead, influence, and inspire.

If you're a high performer who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to help shape the future of technology in a supportive, people-first culture, we’d love to hear from you.
