About the opportunity

Fancy getting your hands on the real-time systems behind a busy, well established online business? This team has great products, plenty of traffic and an event-driven platform that keeps it all humming.

As a Senior .NET Engineer you'll design and ship .NET Core microservices that chat to each other through event streams.

• Build services on AWS that stay up and scale when traffic spikes

• Hands-on Kafka (or similar streaming tech)
• Solid event-driven design and microservices architecture experience
• AWS know-how across VPC, EC2, ECS, RDS, CloudFormation and CloudWatch
• AI experience

Bonus points for RabbitMQ, NUnit and test automation, Docker / Jenkins / Ansible, using AI tools day to day in development, or an AWS certification.

The team and culture

• Humble, curious people who like learning fast
• Problem solvers who chase the real outcome, not just the task
• Agile, iterative delivery focused on adding value
• Everyone owns their work and backs each other up

What's on offer

• 12-month contract
• Start ASAP, or after a 2-week notice period
• Hybrid: officially 3 days in the Melbourne CBD office, though most of the team does 2
