Job description

The Gig

If you like your projects meaty, your stack modern, and your team actually human - this one’s worth a scroll.

We’re working with a long-established digital product house that’s been quietly (and sometimes loudly) crafting scalable platforms for household names and fast-growing startups. They build real products, not disposable campaigns - and they’re after a Senior Developer who can own delivery from idea to release.

You’ll join a tight crew of devs who value clean code, creative problem-solving, and a good laugh between commits. It’s proper platform work - deep builds, long-term partnerships, and genuine ownership.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Building end-to-end solutions across web and mobile (React, React Native, Node, TypeScript)
• Shipping clean, scalable code that future-you will actually thank you for
• Collaborating with designers, PMs, and fellow devs to deliver slick products
• Diving into AWS and API integrations
• Contributing to architecture, process improvements, and the occasional tech debate
• Balancing autonomy with teamwork - no lone-wolf coders here

Tech You’ll Use

• React and React Native / Expo
• Node.js, Express / NestJS
• Next.js
• REST APIs
• CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Octopus)
• Database experience (SQL, Postgres, DynamoDB)
• Testing frameworks (Jest, Cypress - or whatever keeps prod stable)

Why You’ll Love It:

Because this isn’t an agency churn-and-burn job. You’ll work across long-term builds with variety, depth, and input into the tech direction.

Expect

• A hybrid setup (1-2 days in their Melbourne office)
• A genuinely supportive team who knows their stuff
• Opportunities to upskill and influence technical decisions
• A balanced culture - serious about quality, not about burnout

You

You’re a sharp, collaborative developer who loves seeing complex builds come to life. You communicate clearly, solve problems fast, and write code that’s both elegant and practical.
