We're looking for a Software Developer to join the PV4 Product Development team at RWS Global.
PV4 is the software platform used to plan, manage, orchestrate and deliver major live sporting, entertainment and cultural events around the world.
The platform has supported some of the world's largest and most complex productions, including Olympic Games, international multi-sport events, World Championships and other globally significant events.
As part of a small, highly skilled engineering team, you'll help build and evolve the cloud services, applications and integrations that power these events behind the scenes.
This is a role for someone who enjoys solving complex technical problems, building modern cloud-native systems and taking ownership of software that is used in real-world environments.
We are not a large corporate development department.
The PV4 team is a small, collaborative group of engineers responsible for a product that plays a critical role in event delivery.
- Your work will have visible impact.
- You'll have meaningful ownership and influence.
- You'll work closely with experienced engineers and operational teams.
- You'll contribute to product, architecture and technical decisions.
- You'll see software you build being used in real-world event environments.
- You'll have opportunities to influence the future direction of the platform.
We value practical engineering, technical excellence, continuous improvement and building reliable software that performs in demanding real-world environments.
Your primary focus will be backend cloud development using AWS serverless technologies.
- Cloud-native backend services and APIs.
- Event-driven workflows and integrations.
- Infrastructure as Code.
- Cloud architecture and platform evolution.
- Production monitoring, observability and operational improvements.
- Deployment automation and CI/CD.
- Reliability, resilience and platform maturity initiatives.
You'll primarily work with technologies such as:
- AWS CDK
- Lambda
- AppSync
- GraphQL
- Step Functions
- Fargate / ECS
- DynamoDB
- EventBridge
- Node.js
- TypeScript
- Docker
While this role is primarily backend-focused, we're a small product team and developers occasionally contribute across the broader platform, including web and desktop applications built using technologies such as Nuxt, Vue and Electron.
You do not need to be an expert in those technologies on day one. We're much more interested in finding somebody with strong backend and cloud engineering capability.
You’ll ideally have experience with many of the following:
- AWS serverless application development.
- Infrastructure as Code, ideally AWS CDK.
- API development using GraphQL and/or REST.
- Node.js and TypeScript.
- Event-driven architectures.
- Docker and containerised workloads.
- Building, maintaining and supporting production systems.
We’re particularly interested in developers who think beyond implementation and care about how services operate in production.
- Experience with any of the following will be highly regarded:
- Monitoring and observability.
- CloudWatch, Grafana or similar platforms.
- Structured logging and diagnostics.
- Application Performance Monitoring (APM).
- Reliability engineering.
- Incident investigation and troubleshooting.
- Resilience and disaster recovery strategies.
- Operational tooling and platform maturity initiatives.
- Nuxt 3
- Vue 3
- Electron
- WebSockets
- Real-time systems
- Third-party integrations
- Agile software delivery practices
- Build software used at major international events.
- Work on a platform that has supported Olympic Games and World Championship events.
- Join a small, highly skilled engineering team.
- Work with modern AWS cloud technologies.
- Contribute to architecture and technical decisions.
- Gain broad exposure across backend services, cloud platforms, integrations and product development.
- Help shape the future direction of the PV4 platform.
- Take ownership of systems that deliver real-world outcomes.
- Work in a team where engineering quality, reliability and continuous improvement are valued.
- You must have the right to work in Australia.
- Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.
- You must currently reside in Australia.
- Brisbane-based candidates are preferred, although applicants from elsewhere in Australia will be considered.
To be considered for this role, applicants must:
- Submit a current resume.
- Complete the application questions included as part of the recruitment process.
- Have the right to work in Australia.
- Be currently based in Australia.
Shortlisted candidates may be invited to participate in interviews and complete a technical assessment designed to evaluate software design, AWS cloud development, infrastructure-as-code capability and engineering decision-making.
We respect candidates' time and only ask shortlisted applicants to complete the technical assessment.
