VALE Partners have been engaged by an international SaaS scale-up to help grow their Australian engineering team in Melbourne. The company has established strong product-market fit, their software is used by world leaders to produce their best work. This is a senior individual contributor role split between hands‑on feature development and engineering process improvement, helping the team build lasting practices around agentic engineering practices.
Role Overview
- Design, build, and maintain features across the full stack, working in React/TypeScript on the frontend and .NET Core on the backend within a microservices architecture on Azure.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automated testing as part of a team that treats software quality as a first‑class concern.
- Participate actively in code reviews, technical discussions and ongoing codebase improvement in line with engineering best practices.
- Convert promising AI‑assisted development experiments into secure, repeatable team practices.
- Release and monitor production software on a regular cadence, taking ownership of what you ship from development through to live.
What You’ll Ideally Have
- Experience working in a full stack capacity and comfortable moving between TypeScript frontends and .NET backends without losing momentum.
- Practical familiarity with concepts like adversarial reviews, self‑refinement and actor‑critic splits in the context of software engineering agents.
- A track record of writing well‑tested code (both frontend and backend), contributing to CI/CD in cloud environments and helping to balance delivery velocity against maintainability.
- A collaborative approach to working and strong opinions about software engineering that you’re interested in challenging and changing.
This Role Will Interest You If:
- You want the pace and agency of a startup without giving up the structure and process of an established team.
- You enjoy full stack work and want to stay close to both frontend and backend rather than drifting into niche specialisation.
- You’re excited by the idea of working on industry leading software that’s in use by a global customer base.
- You’ve been pursuing your interest in moving beyond basic code completion into agentic development workflows and engineering automation
