Job description

Founded by Jordan Cullen in 2018, Cullen Jewellery is an Australian fine jewellery brand grounded in intention, care, and considered design.

As a digital-first brand, we bring together traditional craftsmanship and modern technology to create pieces designed to endure – in both form and feeling.

From carbon neutral lab-grown diamonds to responsible material choices and global replanting initiatives, every detail reflects Cullen’s long‑term perspective.

About the position:

The Software Engineer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining robust software solutions and AI-enabled workflows that streamline business operations end-to-end. Sitting within our engineering function, this role integrates internal tools, ERP platforms, third‑party systems, and modern AI capabilities to drive speed, efficiency, and technical excellence across the company. Working closely with cross‑functional stakeholders, you will proactively identify opportunities to leverage technology and deliver scalable, high‑quality outcomes.

Key responsibilities include:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable applications using TypeScript, Node.js, SQL, Docker, and modern front‑end frameworks (SvelteKit, Vue, or React).
• Build, deploy, and maintain AI‑enabled workflows and automations (incorporating LLM APIs, agentic tooling, and MCP integrations) embedded directly into daily business operations.
• Connect internal software, ERP platforms, and third‑party tools end‑to‑end via REST APIs and webhooks, collaborating with external partners to ensure seamless data flow.
• Participate in technical discovery sessions and process walkthroughs; proactively engage with stakeholders to challenge assumptions and translate requirements into practical solutions.
• Ship functional solutions iteratively, evaluate emerging technical tools, and continuously improve systems based on performance and user feedback.
• Maintain detailed documentation of systems, architecture, and integration decisions to support team continuity, security, and long‑term maintainability.

What we are seeking:

• Proven experience as a Software Engineer, Full‑Stack Developer, or in a similar technical role within a fast‑paced environment.
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, Node.js, SQL, Docker, and modern front‑end frameworks (SvelteKit, Vue, or React), supported by solid HTML and SCSS capability.
• Demonstrated experience integrating systems via REST APIs and webhooks.
• Practical experience building with LLM APIs (e.g., Claude, OpenAI) or AI‑assisted development tools, alongside an active interest in applying AI to practical business processes.
• Strong problem‑solving ability, clear written and verbal communication skills, and a proactive approach to taking ownership of business outcomes.

What we offer:

• Fast‑track your technical capabilities and leadership potential as we rapidly expand our footprint locally and internationally.
• Enjoy a supportive, Monday–Friday corporate culture in our modern Kew office, complete with convenient parking options.
• Generous staff discounts on our fine jewellery, plus a 20% discount for your friends and family.
• An extra week of paid leave every year to support a charity close to your heart.
• Sponsorship of a child in need via Baptist World Aid for every full‑time team member who joins our family.
