Are you passionate about building backend platforms that power real products used by customers every day?
  
We're working with an innovative Australian technology company that has established itself as a leader in its market and is now entering an exciting new phase of growth. As they continue to evolve their platform into a highly scalable, customer-facing SaaS product, they're looking for an experienced Senior Software Engineer to play a key role in shaping the next generation of their technology.
  
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative engineering team where you'll have genuine ownership, influence technical direction, and solve complex backend challenges using modern cloud technologies.
  
The Opportunity
You'll be responsible for designing and building the backend services that sit at the heart of the platform, creating reliable APIs, scalable processing services, and cloud-native solutions that enable customers to access large volumes of data quickly and efficiently.
  
Working across the full software lifecycle, you'll contribute to architecture, development, deployment and production operations while collaborating closely with frontend engineers, product specialists and data teams.
  
This is a role for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving difficult engineering problems and delivering production-quality software.
  
What You'll Bring
We're looking for someone who has:

  • Extensive commercial experience building backend applications in Python.
  • Strong experience developing APIs using frameworks such as FastAPI, Django or similar.
  • Experience building distributed or event-driven applications using asynchronous processing, queues or messaging technologies.
  • Commercial AWS experience, ideally working with serverless services and containerised applications.
  • Experience using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform, AWS CDK or CloudFormation.
  • Strong SQL and database design skills.
  • A passion for clean, maintainable code and modern software engineering practices.
  • Experience working in agile product engineering teams where developers own what they build.

You'll stand out if you've worked with:

  • AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot.
  • LLMs, document processing or AI-powered applications.
  • Large-scale SaaS or cloud-native products.
  • Modern CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
