Job description

You're ready for more than the next ticket

You've got a few years of engineering experience behind you and you're already good at what you do. You're now looking for more in a role than being handed a ticket, expected to ship it and move on.

You want to work alongside people who will make you better. You want to tackle meaningful technical problems and have room to try things. You want to be in a place that takes AI seriously without treating it as a shortcut for good thinking.

That's what this role is about.

The work you'll get stuck into

At Envato, we help creative professionals bring their ideas to life through world-class creative assets and AI tools. Behind the scenes, our Content Management team builds the systems that make all of that possible. Content upload, processing, metadata, storage, distribution and the human and AI-assisted review that keeps our marketplace moving.

It is complex, high-impact work and you'll be right in the middle of it.

You'll take ownership of features and well-defined projects from the first conversation through to production.

You'll build software that is reliable, well-tested and designed to last, while getting to know the platform and the people who use it. When something breaks, you'll help understand why, fix it properly and leave the system better than you found it.

You'll be a great fit if...

• You have experience building software, strong back-end capability and a real interest in doing the work well. Ruby on Rails would be useful, though experience in a comparable framework matters just as much.
• You know the value of clean code, sensible trade-offs and testing, and you're comfortable getting curious when a production issue needs solving.
• You're interested in using AI in practical ways, but you bring your own judgement rather than blindly accepting the output.
• Experience with AWS, Terraform, Docker, Buildkite, Datadog, Rollbar, or content-heavy systems is helpful, but what matters most is your appetite to learn quickly, take ownership and bring more than the expected answer.
