Join one of Australia’s fastest-growing digital companies, backed by over $200M in funding and on the path to unicorn status. With a proven customer model already serving thousands of users, this business is scaling globally and doubling down on product, platform, and AI innovation.
As they transition from Series C to D, the engineering team is expanding rapidly and they’re investing heavily in building a world-class platform at scale.
As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll sit at the same level as Engineering Managers – but instead of line management, you’ll play a pivotal role in technical strategy, system design, and hands-on coding.

What you’ll do
- Drive architecture and system design decisions across the platform
- Stay hands-on with Golang (or similar), GraphQL, microservices, Protobuf/gRPC
- Anticipate challenges over the next 6, 12, 18 months and shape solutions
- Mentor engineers and help maintain a high technical bar
- Improve productivity, scalability, and developer experience at pace

- Building integrations with wearables and other health devices
- Improving real-time engagement: live updates, offline modes, interactive plans
