Phocas Software | Software Development Engineer Who Tests | Christchurch NZ/Remote | FULL-TIME

Our mission is simple – Phocas helps people feel good about data. We help companies turn their data into results. Our award-winning software provides customers insights that help them make more informed, data driven decisions, improving efficiencies and boosting their bottom line.

Phocas ranks #1 in G2 Crowd, has a 4.9/5 rating on Glassdoor, and appears in Deloitte's Fast 50.

This is NOT a testing role: We are looking for a software engineer that is tired of launching buggy products, where every step forward is dogged by errors and backlog tickets. The ideal person for this role will be one who daily feels “there must be a better way, I’d build it if I had time and resources”.

In this role, you’ll have that time and those resources. In fact, we’ll pay you well to do it.

Apply here: https://apply.workable.com/phocassoftware/j/3EFB612001/


As someone involved in the Sydney Tech Scene, I can vouch for this outfit, also Al, their CEO is a great guy.


Quantium | Big Data Engineers | Sydney, Australia | Full-time, ONSITE | www.quantium.com

Since 2008, our data teams have wrung every bit of information they can from our clients’ data in order to give them the insight they need to make a real difference to their business.

Times and technology have changed, but this remains our goal. Instead of wrangling single, SQL-based databases, our MapR Hadoop platform runs across 200 nodes with multiple clusters using the latest big data technology. Our industry-leading partners’ real-world data sets are growing along with their complexity so we need to bring more developers and engineers into our team. We’re hoping that’s you.

Working with Scala, Spark and the rest of the Hadoop ecosystem, you’ll be building applications to work with unique data sets (some of the largest and most complex in Australia) to make a real difference to our clients. We're based in the heart of Sydney, Australia and we're open to relocating great engineers from anywhere in the world.

SafetyCulture | Sydney, Australia or Townsville, Australia | Full-Time | Onsite | Engineering and Product | Relocation offered

www.safetyculture.com

Founded on the principle that we need to make the workplace safer, we started as a simple checklist app, 7 years later we're building on our data to provide realtime safety advice and ranking. We've just completed the 2nd largest Series B round in Australian History and we're looking to build on the platform we've begun.

We're hiring for:

- Full Stack Javascript (well, not really "full-stack" unless you're really fantastic at EVERYTHING, but if you're happy working across the Node.js/Front end bridge, that would be awesome)

- Front End engineers (Ember.js, HTML, CSS)

- iOS Engineers (We're on Swift 3.0 and have a practical attitude to storyboards depending on what you're working on)

- Devops - Basically automation heavy on AWS

- Data Ops - We're building a brand new Data platform so need someone to help us with this - Scala/Spark/R etc.

- T-Shaped Test - Automation and code both mobile and platform (coding and devops awareness would be great!).

If you'd like to know more, please contact james [DOT] richardson [AT] safetyculture [DOT] com


Cammy.com | Sydney, Australia | Onsite

Process is one telephone call and two onsite interviews.

At Cammy, we’re committed to using the latest technology to make the world a safer place for you, your family and your business. Our product is a simple and affordable security solution and general monitoring platform that allows you to keep an eye on your home, kids and pets, Cammy provides peace of mind wherever you are. Integrated into your daily life through your mobile device, Cammy is a well funded Sydney based technology driven start-up. We’re currently 40(ish) software, marketing and operations people and we’re looking for one more to join us as a Devops/Automation/Tool builder.

You’re an accomplished Engineer, you love to tinker, to build stuff. You look at manual tasks as a chronic waste of time, you look around at available tools and try to break them, thinking all along that you could do a better job, if only you had the time. You look at most “devops” think pieces and job ads requiring System Engineers that are also Puppeteers, Chefs and Docker wearers and think “they just don’t get it…” You genuinely see Devops as a philosophy, bringing together “ops”, “dev” and “test” into a single unified mentality - building great products! Here’s what we want and need to see from you to know you can do the role:

* You’re a Devops philosopher, ready to lambast anyone that maintains that just running Jenkins, Chef, Hudson etc. is devops. * You’re a tool builder, you love combining, testing out and if necessary building our new tools * You know your way around an API - how they work, what questions to ask and how to make sure they have a firm footing * You’ve built test automation solutions before, you know how to get the most out of automated testing, not just “I’ve used Selenium” * You’re a scripter (Former Developers would be awesome too!) - Python/Ruby etc. but we won’t hold you to just those * You’re interested in being part of a wider team, we hold monthly tech talks internally, you’d be keen to contribute * You’re not a jerk

Smokeball | Sydney, Australia | Onsite | Angular/Node/.net

In a Law firm, everyone should know what they should be doing. And why. Fanatical lawyers leave Law School every year seeking to advise and protect their clients. They then spend their careers filing paperwork and manually running their business instead of focusing on the one thing they want to do: Practicing Law.

Allowing small law firms to practice law: This is our passion and why we do what we do.

Our .Net backend is the foundation of our product, originally conceived as WPF desktop software, we’re using this springboard to launch our javascript SAAS with Node ES6 and Angular.js.

Direction: Our CEO is a developer, and largely to blame for any historical legacy issues. He’s actually pretty good (and approved this message).

Technical debt: There’s some, but it’s all easily dealt with. We’re Git based and are working on our CI framework Go.cd.

Test: Full TDD, we have one Test consultant, she helps you TDD better.

Microservices: Yes. Docker containers etc too.

Backend: Node ES6

Front End: Angular.JS + TCL (just joking… but you’re welcome to make an impassioned defence of the betamax of the software world).

Gender mix: Honestly, we’re fairly male dominated, we’d love to change this and actively invite applications from all genders.

Hours: Totally flexible

Dresscode: Clothing required. Singlets are a bit of a no-no, but that’s it.

For more information, check out: https://smokeball.workable.com/j/28632D575D or contact james (dot) richardson (at) smokeball (dot) com


Adding to this; Interview process is:

1 Technical conversation over the phone/skype 1 Onsite Interview with technical test and cultural interview.

What are salaries (for experienced) in Sydney nowadays?


Hey Zerr, as usual, it depends. I'll give you an anecdotal rundown with the caveat that ours fall somewhere in the middle.

I'm discounting the traditional "point and click" development roles (enterprise code to spec) and going more to the companies that encourage real agile - mindset and philosophy. I'm also referring specifically to open source (my personal experience):

Juniors: $45-65k Mid: $75-96k Senior: $100k upwards and thats the one with the greatest flux. These are all ex. of Superannuation (now 9.5%) I would say if you're a true "senior" i.e. able to independently develop features, run your own sprints, mentor and handle Juniors, a subject matter expert for your company; out of Startup, you should be aiming for $120k +, but then there's additional bits like increased super, bonus, holidays etc. In startup, you'll expect some of the base to be shaved for either stock/bonus etc.

Sorry there's so many caveats, but hopefully there's something useful here.

James

Edit: Of course if you're working for the banks, then this is all just words.
