Software Engineer

Description:

We’re looking for a Senior Developer who’s keen for a new challenge, to come and join our SaaS startup team here in Sydney. At Cascade we’re all about the product and the tech, and we love our friendly, collaborative environment which allows us to do those things well.

So you’re already a great developer yourself and have years of experience leading other developers, but now you want to take that experience and be part of a team that is showing the path and leading the way within the organisation. Writing code and creating key elements of the technology are still the core of what you do, but your ability to lead your “pod” of developers, work closely with the Product Manager, and coordinate and knowledge share with the other dev team leaders means that you raise the level of everyone’s game - as well designing and writing great code yourself across the full stack.

You’ll work with the Head of IT, our Senior Engineering team, and the other team leaders to improve the quality of what we’re producing, and the coding standards, processes, and tools that we’re using, are excellent and constantly improving - and you’ll be the go-to person for your team members when they’re looking to understand and implement those things.

We’ll give you a friendly, collaborative team environment, great people to work with, and the opportunity to mould your role over the longer term and take your technology career in the directions you want to go. It’s a great chance for you to grow with the company and the product.

You’ll be bringing with you:

• 3+ years development experience.
• Strong JavaScript framework skills (if that’s with Ember, even better).
• Strong back-end skills, especially consuming and developing REST APIs (if that’s with PHP, awesome).
• All-round game with the usual suspects on the front-end - HTML 5, CSS 3, responsive design, etc.
• Solid understanding of relational database implementation (MySQL would be great).
• Experience working with cloud platforms (if that includes AWS, brilliant).
• Experience designing, developing, and running a SaaS application on a public cloud platform would be a massive plus.
• Passion for the job - you already love interesting tech, and we want to support that.
• Willingness to learn every day, and help others learn too.
• Desire to get your hands dirty and really get into the code.
