Descrizione del lavoro

Software Developer - Junior to Intermediate

Why join foundU?
Work. We promote from within - this role is proof of that - and we invest in upskilling our people rather than expecting you to arrive fully formed. You'll be trained, mentored and given real work from day one.

People and Culture. A collaborative, feedback-driven team where code reviews are a two-way conversation, not a gate to get past.

Benefits.

• Hybrid working.
• A few days in the office during your settling in period and then one day a week in the office for the team anchor day.
• Plus paid parental leave, birthday leave and volunteer day leave.
• We have been recognised as an x9 Employer of Choice with a genuine reward and recognition program.

Who is foundU?
foundU is Australian-grown and managed, home to a passionate team committed to accelerating the success of Australian businesses. We build the rostering, time and attendance, onboarding and payroll platform that workplaces rely on to run smoothly and be compliant.

In 2025, foundU became part of Citation Group- supporting over 12,000 businesses across Australia and New Zealand with workplace compliance solutions spanning HR, employment law, safety and certification. You'll have the chance to collaborate with that wider community of workplace experts as you grow your career here.

This opportunity exists due to an internal promotion - good news for whoever joins us! You'll sit within our Engineering team reporting to a Technical Lead, working full stack across our tech - front end (Vue.js, React Native, ES6+, Sass) through to back end (Laravel/PHP, MySQL, RESTful APIs) and the AWS infrastructure underneath it all.

In this role you will:

• assist Technical Leads and Developers across all aspects of software design and coding
• write, maintain and test code for your assigned tasks
• keep an eye on the technical performance of foundU's systems and flag issues early
• perform code reviews and provide feedback
• partner with Product Owners to understand what's possible
• attend and contribute to Agile ceremonies
• build your knowledge of the Australian HR, payroll & industrial relations landscape as it shapes everything we build

Our dream candidate
Our people come from all walks of life - different backgrounds, different starting points - but the one thing that binds us is a glass-half-full, sleeves-rolled-up, can-do mentality. If you're the kind of person who'd rather figure something out than wait to be told, you'll fit right in.

Essentials to have

• Degree in Computer Science (or a closely related field)
• Coachable mindset and you're open to feedback, quick to apply it, and comfortable asking questions rather than guessing
• Brings solid foundational software development skills (whether that's from your degree, personal projects, internships or a couple of years on the job)
• Eally welcome are whether you're just starting out with strong fundamentals or bring around 2-4 years of hands-on development experience

You'll get bonus points if you have

• Exposure to any part of our stack — Vue.js, React Native, Laravel/PHP, MySQL, or AWS services like EC2, Aurora, ECS or Lambda
• Familiarity with test tooling like Cypress, Jest or Storybook
• An interest in how AI-assisted development tools fit into a modern engineering workflow
