Job description

Boar Group is a Brisbane-based group of fire protection, HVAC and facilities businesses with technicians working across thousands of sites in Queensland — hospitals, shopping centres, schools, apartment towers. Behind the teams on site is a growing in-house technology function building the software that runs the group. We've reached the point where that needs a dedicated developer. That's you.

Your Role

You'll join as our first dedicated software developer, working on the internal platforms that keep a multi-business services group running. You'll work directly with the product owner and the leadership team, so you'll see the whole picture — how the work gets done on site and how that turns into what the business sees.

Day to day you will:

• Build new features across the stack — React front end, Node.js API, PostgreSQL database
• Build mobile applications.
• Turn ideas from the product owner into clear, well-scoped work
• Test what you build, properly, and fix what you find
• Keep the documentation up to date
• Learn to deploy and run the platform on AWS, with support and guard rails
• Spend time with the people who use it — our customers and internal staff — and bring what you learn back into the product

Our stack:

React + Vite, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS (Sydney), GitHub. We use modern AI-assisted development tools day to day and you'll be set up with them from day one. You don't need to know all of this already — you need to be someone who learns quickly and enjoys it.

Who we're looking for

• A recent graduate (or final-semester student) in computer science, software engineering, IT or similar
• You've built things — uni projects, side projects, anything you can show us. Projects count more than grades
• Comfortable with the basics: a programming language you know well, some SQL, git, how the web works
• You write clearly and ask good questions
• You're curious about how real businesses work and happy to get out and talk to the people on the ground
• Honest when you don't know something, and quick to go and find out

Career Progression

This is the first developer seat in a technology team that's growing. Do well and you become the person we build the team around.

Work Life Balance

Hybrid — a few days a week with the team in Brisbane, the rest from wherever you work best. Standard hours. We run real businesses and we value people who have a life outside of work.

Culture & Vibe

Practical, friendly and direct. Small team, no corporate layers, leadership you'll actually talk to every week. Our software has to work for technicians standing in a plant room, so we care about things that work over things that look clever.
