What we’re looking for

We’re looking for a Lead or Senior Full-stack Developer with strong React & React Native capabilities with 3-5+ years experience and a desire to work in an environment with varied projects.

We run a Hybrid workplace where we are in the office 1-2 days per week depending on what stage our projects are at.

Please don’t hold back if you don’t meet all of our criteria. Attitude and willingness to learn are highly valued qualities at Roadhouse Digital and we love to mentor developers to reach their full potential.

We are looking for Melbourne based developers only.

Why people choose Roadhouse Digital

Roadhouse Digital is one of Melbourne’s most experienced platform development companies (started in 2000), building products, mobile apps, web apps, and websites. We work with long-standing clients and fresh start-ups to create modern, sophisticated, secure and purpose-driven platforms. We have a strong focus on the use of design systems, ensuring the best and most consistent user experience as well as focusing on producing strong technical solutions that serve the test of time.

Developers choose to come to Roadhouse Digital because they don’t like to be tied down working on the same project for a long period of time. We offer a variety of projects that people can work on, we mix up the tech stack now and then and try something new. We like to hear what our developers are interested in. We work across mobile, web and back-end. We don’t hire just to keep someone in a set role. If you’d like to work on mobile apps and haven’t before we’ll help skill you up. If you’re front-end and would like to learn more back-end we’ve got you covered.

Outside of the development work, we like to keep things fun, but we also know when to be serious. We love technology and that’s what we want our developers to love too.

From a culture perspective we like to maintain an easy-going, fun office space where social interaction and connection is not just a priority but our advantage.

We are not a Digital Agency. We focus on platform development for our own products and select clients. We pride ourselves on delivering high quality platforms whilst maintaining true work life balance. Given that we have a number of clients it does allow our developers to move across projects at times for a change of scenery, but we don't jump people from project to project. We love what we do and want our staff to be the same.
