Senior Software Engineer (TypeScript)

We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer who enjoys turning ideas into real, working products.
In this role, you will work in a fast-moving product environment, partnering closely with product managers, designers, and stakeholders to take ambiguous problems from concept and prototype through to production.
You will have strong ownership across the full technology stack — from frontend and backend development to APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, CI/CD, and deployment.

• Working Hours: Mon-Fri
• Working Location: Central
• Job Type: Contract
• Salary Package: Up to $10,500 (basic) +AWS

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, test, deploy, and operate full-stack web applications end-to-end.
• Develop solutions across frontend, backend, APIs, databases, cloud infrastructure, and deployment pipelines.
• Translate product ideas and user needs into working software quickly, then continuously improve the product based on user feedback and business outcomes.
• Work closely with Product Managers, UX/UI Designers, and business stakeholders from discovery and prototyping through delivery and iteration.
• Make practical architecture and technology decisions that balance speed, scalability, maintainability, security, and performance.
• Build and integrate RESTful APIs, backend services, and data persistence layers.
• Establish engineering foundations including automated testing, CI/CD, observability, monitoring, and security controls.
• Deploy and operate applications in cloud environments and troubleshoot production issues when required.
• Participate in technical discussions, architecture design, code reviews, and engineering best practices.
• Identify reusable components, frameworks, and engineering patterns that help accelerate future product development.
• Take ownership of products throughout the lifecycle, from initial experimentation through production deployment and ongoing enhancement.

Requirements

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Systems, or a related discipline.

• At least 7 years of hands-on software engineering experience.

• Strong and recent hands-on development experience with Node.js and the modern JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem.

• Proven experience building and delivering web applications end-to-end.

• Strong experience across:

  • Frontend web development
  • Backend/API development
  • Databases
  • Cloud infrastructure
  • CI/CD and automated deployment
  • Production application support

• Good understanding of modern web architecture, software design principles, scalability, security, and performance.

• Experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• Strong understanding of modern software engineering practices including Git, automated testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and DevOps practices.

• Comfortable working independently and making technical decisions in environments where requirements may initially be unclear.

• Strong problem-solving skills with a practical, delivery-focused mindset.

Good to Have

• Experience taking a product from idea / Proof of Concept (POC) / Minimum Viable Product (MVP) through to production.
• Experience with modern frontend frameworks such as React, Next.js, Vue.js, or Angular.
• Experience with containerisation and cloud-native technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.
• Exposure to Infrastructure as Code and cloud automation.
• Experience using AI-assisted software development tools, coding agents, code generation, or automated code review.
• Experience working in Agile cross-functional product teams alongside Product Managers and Designers.

What You’ll Get to Work On You will work on new digital products and experiments where the solution may not already be defined. You will help shape the technical approach, build prototypes and production applications, test ideas with real users, and continuously iterate based on feedback.

This role is well suited for an experienced engineer who enjoys hands-on coding, product ownership, technical decision-making, and building from scratch, rather than working only on maintenance or narrowly defined development tasks.
