Senior Software Engineer

Senior Engineer

Melbourne - Hybrid

About the Opportunity

One of Australia's most recognised hospitality and entertainment organisations, operating hundreds of venues across the country and continuing to invest heavily in technology as a strategic driver of the business.

They're building the next generation of enterprise platforms, automation, AI-enabled services and modern cloud applications that support a large, fast-moving operation. Technology is becoming increasingly central to how the business scales, with significant investment across engineering, cloud, integrations, automation and machine learning capabilities.

This is an opportunity to join at an exciting point in that journey. Rather than stepping into a mature environment where everything has already been built, you'll help shape what comes next, working on intelligent applications, enterprise integrations, cloud-native services and emerging AI initiatives that will have a genuine impact across the organisation.

The Role

This is far more than a traditional engineering position.

You'll be designing and building modern applications, APIs and cloud services while helping drive the adoption of AI across the technology landscape. Working alongside experienced technical leaders, you'll have the opportunity to influence architecture, improve engineering practices and explore how machine learning, large language models and automation can solve real business problems at scale.

If you're someone who enjoys learning new technology, experimenting with AI tooling and building systems that have tangible impact, this is the kind of environment where you'll thrive.

• PHP (Laravel), Python and modern JavaScript
• React, Next.js or similar frontend frameworks
• Microsoft Azure and cloud-native application development
• REST APIs, enterprise integrations and microservices
• Microsoft SQL Server and database optimisation
• Linux environments and CI/CD pipelines
• GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps
• AI integrations, OpenAI APIs, Azure AI or similar platforms
• Machine learning concepts, LLMs, automation or intelligent application development

What's on Offer

• Opportunity to help shape the future technology direction of a large Australian organisation.
• Work on modern cloud platforms, AI initiatives and intelligent automation.
• Exposure to machine learning, generative AI and next-generation engineering practices.
• Genuine ownership and influence over technical decisions.
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements.
• A collaborative engineering culture that encourages innovation, experimentation and continuous learning.
