Senior Software Engineer – TypeScript, Serverless Systems
Sydney | Hybrid | $200k + Super

This role is for engineers who care about how systems behave under real-world conditions, not just how fast features ship.

You’ll work on production systems where money moves, decisions have consequences, and correctness matters more than velocity.

Why this role exists

  • Build and evolve a serverless, cloud-native platform on AWS

  • TypeScript is a first-class language across the system

  • Work on real, distributed systems with real constraints

  • Solve problems where correctness and reliability matter

How you’ll work

  • Design and build serverless services in AWS using TypeScript

  • Own meaningful parts of the system end to end

  • Make technical and architectural decisions without babysitting

  • Design for retries, idempotency, failure modes, and recovery

  • Improve system quality over time, not just close tickets

Autonomy is real – but it’s autonomy without chaos.

What we’re looking for
This isn’t about titles or years. It’s about engineering temperament.

You’re likely someone who:

  • Has strong Computer Science fundamentals and applies them practically

  • Has hands-on, commercial experience building serverless systems on AWS

  • Is genuinely strong in TypeScript, not just familiar with it

  • Understands distributed systems, trade-offs, and failure modes

  • Cares about production quality and system behaviour

You may be full stack, but you’re systems-first, not UI-first.

Technical environment

  • AWS-first, serverless architecture

  • TypeScript across backend and API layers

  • Event-driven services and managed cloud infrastructure

  • CI/CD, monitoring, and operational ownership

You don’t need every AWS service memorised, but you do need real experience operating production workloads.

What this role offers

  • Trust – meaningful ownership without micromanagement

  • Depth – real systems, not surface-level features

  • Longevity – career capital, not resume padding

  • Respect – quality over heroics

Package

  • $200k + Super

  • Sydney-based, hybrid working

  • Australian working rights required

No hype. No noise. Just good engineering.
