About Us

Bridgit is a leading non-bank lender transforming the way Australians access property equity. Purpose-built to make property transactions faster and easier, we pioneered the Buy Now, Sell Later solution - empowering homeowners to unlock their property equity and move on their terms. With a simple digital application, fast approvals, and flexible loan options, we’re making property finance seamless and stress-free.

We’re now five years old and making huge strides. We’ve accredited over three-quarters of Australia’s broker network, and launched white label solutions with Australia’s largest aggregators - Connective, Aussie Home Loans, Finsure, and Loan Market Group - and we’re just getting started.

Our momentum has been recognised with awards including Best Growth Story at the 2025 Fintech Awards, the 2025 Finder People’s Choice Award for Lending Innovation, Deloitte’s Tech Fast 50 2025, and a place among LinkedIn’s Top 20 Startups in Australia 2025 & 2026.

The difference you’ll make

At Bridgit, our backend engineers are empowered to take full ownership of their solutions—from initial design and technical scoping through to coding, deployment, testing, and documentation. You'll have the opportunity to shape the future of our products by influencing system architecture and helping to define technical requirements for new features.

Our tech stack includes Node.js, TypeScript, and NestJS for building secure, maintainable RESTful APIs, and we rely on PostgreSQL with Sequelize for robust, scalable data storage. If you’re excited by the idea of building high-impact systems that are clean, secure, and well-documented, we want to hear from you.

We value clear communication and collaboration across teams—engineering, product, and operations—so you’ll be expected to share progress, flag blockers, and help prioritise work in a transparent and productive way. We’re looking for engineers who are not only passionate about their craft but also thrive in a team‑first environment: driven, respectful, and focused on delivering real results. You’ll play a key role in shaping our development and deployment processes, ensuring we’re building both smart and sustainably as we grow.
