What’s in it for you?

You’ll be joining a fast-paced, consumer-focused technology business where your work directly impacts how people travel and explore. This is a role where you’ll have real ownership, strong influence on product decisions, and the chance to work on a large-scale marketplace used by customers globally. You’ll be trusted to do your best work, supported by experienced engineers, and given space to grow technically while building products that real people love to use.

If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and working in a collaborative team with a strong delivery cadence, this role gives you the chance to do all of that while maintaining balance through a flexible hybrid setup.

What you’ll be doing:

• Developing and enhancing B2C experiences used by a large and engaged user base
• Collaborating with engineers across teams to ensure clean, scalable and maintainable code
• Participating in technical discussions, code reviews and continuous improvement initiatives
• Operating in a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve and learning is constant

Experience required:

• 3 + years of commercial experience working with Ruby on Rails
• Full stack capability, with solid JavaScript experience highly regarded
• Experience working on B2C products or marketplaces is a strong advantage
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving, collaborative engineering environment
• Exposure to AWS is beneficial but not essential

With a strong Australian foundation and an international footprint, the company is scaling a high-traffic, two-sided marketplace supported by modern engineering practices and a product-led mindset.

Benefits:
