Work With the Best: Elite Engineering Team in a High-Performance Culture

Looking to join a team where technical excellence isn't just a buzzword—but the baseline?

This is a rare opportunity to work within a mature engineering team led by a former Amazon Machine Learning specialist (6 years in Japan). The team includes alumni from SEEK, RedBubble, Envato, AWS, Zendesk, Culture Amp, and REA. The bar is high, and so is the impact.

You’ll be part of a company that’s building complex systems with a relentless focus on better practices (not just “best” ones). It’s a space where your voice counts, your contributions matter, and engineering craftsmanship is valued at every level.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • 🧱 Play a key role in a tight-knit engineering team (16), building systems for scale, speed, and resilience.
  • 🛠 Building backend functionality and features with GoLang
  • 💡 Review systems for consistency, error handling, and engineering patterns that set the standard, not follow it.
  • 🤝 Collaborate with product and design while maintaining high autonomy
  • 🧰 Tech stack includes AWS Lambda, ECS (Fargate), API Gateway, Golang, Node.js, Python, and Terraform.

What You Bring:

  • 🧠 A backend or infrastructure-first mindset—you know how code works and how to optimise it in production.
  • 🎯 Detail-oriented and methodical; you spot gaps, remove inefficiencies, and clean up messes.
  • ⚙️ Deep knowledge of backend architecture and cloud infrastructure.
  • 🧪 An independent thinker who thrives outside the herd—proactive and comfortable owning outcomes.
  • 🧠 Experience with distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and enterprise patterns.
  • 👨‍💻 You’ve worked in small, high-performing teams delivering technical outcomes—this is not an agency gig.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • 💪 Strong engineers, strong leadership, zero fluff.
  • 🌍 Move across the stack, influence infrastructure, and learn how software lives in production.
  • 🏡 Hybrid work model—join the team in person once or twice a week, with key collaboration on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

If you’re ready for an environment where the technical bar is high, autonomy is the norm, and your work actually matters—let’s chat.
