Senior Software Engineer

Qualifications and Skills

• You have a positive mindset: equal parts curious, collaborative, and can-do.
• Minimum 5 years of commercial software development experience in either Web or Mobile environments.
• Past experience mentoring or leading software engineers.
• Commercial experience with the specific technologies in our stack is a strong plus but not a hard requirement.
• Experience with languages sharing features with Typescript is also a plus (such as JavaScript, C#, Go, or similar).
• We favour generalists who can be flexible across the stack, but we are particularly interested in engineers with deep skills and experience across both frontend and backend; a bonus if you have skills in CDK & Postgres databases.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills built on a foundation of empathy for your fellow humans are essential.

Your Responsibilities

• Make sustainable and high quality technical contributions across the stack in your area of expertise.
• Flexibly contribute outside your specialty in other areas of the stack to support the team when needed.
• Work collaboratively with peers in product and across the wider company to ensure you're always shipping the right thing the right way at the right time.
• Mentor and support other members of the engineering team.
• Support the app across the whole lifecycle from idea through to production.
• Take high level ownership of technical design and project delivery.

Benefits

• We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and a great culture of people who love coming to work to build a better world.
• You'd be part of a rapidly growing team of over 180 with expertise across energy, technology, marketing, and operations.
• Be part of a growing technology start-up that will shape the future of household and grid energy use.
• Flexible working hours with provision for regular work from home arrangements and a central hub in Melbourne CBD.
• Equitable gender-neutral parental leave policies.
• An external Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) for mental health support.
• Competitive salary and share options in Amber.
• Annual Learning & Development budget to support your personal growth.

Salary range: $155,000 - $200,000 per annum (base, excluding superannuation). All roles at Amber include employee stock options over and above the base salary and superannuation.

This is a full-time role ideally based in Melbourne and Sydney, but we are also open to considering the right candidate anywhere within Australia.

We are open to discussing 4 days a week or 9 days a fortnight once you're ramped up, if that's what you are looking for. We mostly work from home, catching up in a co-working space in the CBD every now and then. We expect to remain Melbourne based but maintain flexibility between the office and WFH.

Even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements listed above, we still encourage you to apply. We're open to all backgrounds and encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply. We never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, or disability status.
