Description
Staff Software Engineer, Workspaces
Location: Melbourne, VIC, Sydney, NSW
Department: Product Engineering
Location Type: HYBRID
Employment Type: FULL_TIME
The Role
We are looking for a talented and experienced software engineer to join the Workspaces team as a technical leader.
As the technical leader of the team, you’ll work closely with Product and Design to decide on the overall technical direction of the product. A willingness to leverage as much context as possible - data, experimentation, user research - when making decisions is an important skill for the project.
As a key representative of the project you’ll need to collaborate with other technical and non-technical stakeholders across the business, as the Workspaces product interfaces with many other domains.
Ideally you’re comfortable working across the stack with a solid sense of quality, both frontend and backend, but with an ability to balance this sense of quality with the project timelines.
What You’ll Own
- Help to lead engineering efforts by conceptualizing, designing, and implementing technology solutions as part of our Workspaces product
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities, prioritize initiatives, and deliver impactful solutions that provide value to our Workspaces users.
- Take ownership of the full development lifecycle, from initial design and implementation of performant backend to testing, deployment, and maintenance of infrastructure solutions
Who We’re Looking For
- 6+ years of Software Engineering experience.
- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. An engineer that can design durable, extensible systems while also feeling comfortable building a first version quickly to validate then iterate.
- Proficiency in full-stack development, familiarity with application development technologies (Web, Typescript, and PostgreSQL, GraphQL) and experience in backend technologies (such as Node.js, Python, AWS).
- Experience in data-driven optimization, including familiarity with databases, data modeling, and data analysis tools and techniques (e.g., SQL, NoSQL, data warehouses, Snowflake, BigQuery, etc.).
- Experience in conducting experiments and A/B testing to evaluate the effectiveness of different growth strategies, features, and user experiences, and iterating based on data-driven findings.
P.S. If you don’t tick every box in this listing, please don’t rule yourself out. We take pride in inclusion and hiring incredible human beings with great potential over ticking boxes – so if this role resonates with you, hit that apply button!
