You’ll be joining a diverse team of over 300 people who are always looking to deliver better outcomes for Australian businesses. About the role:
We are building something new! Join us at an exciting time as we launch Walker St, a new data-driven business venture within Shift. Backed by the resources of an established company and powered by a startup spirit, we’re creating tools that help businesses unlock the power of their banking data. We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who’s excited to build modern, scalable systems from the ground up. This is a chance to work on a greenfield product, influence technical decisions, and be part of shaping an inclusive and collaborative engineering culture from day one.
What you’ll do:
- Design, build, and maintain scalable full-stack web applications using C#, .NET, React, and other modern technologies.
- Collaborate with engineers, designers, and product managers to deliver high-impact features and improvements.
- Contribute to architectural decisions and help build a reliable microservices-based system.
- Ensure high standards of code quality, testing, and documentation.
- Support the team’s DevOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud infrastructure (Azure).
- Participate in code reviews, pair programming, and mentoring where needed.
- Embrace agile ways of working, continuous learning, and a user-first mindset.
What you’ll bring:
- 6+ years of experience building software with C# and .NET.
- Solid understanding of RESTful APIs and event-driven microservices.
- Experience with Azure or other cloud platforms.
- Familiarity with modern DevOps practices and tools (e.g. GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Octopus).
- A mindset that values testing, quality, and reliable delivery.
- Strong collaboration and communication skills - you’re comfortable working cross functionally and contributing your ideas in a team setting.
- A passion for learning and solving problems – we’re big on curiosity over credentials.
Key benefits:
- Hybrid working: we’re headquartered in North Sydney with state-based workplaces and offer a hybrid work policy. Our offices have spaces for collaboration, socialising and focused work.
- Parental leave: up to 26 weeks paid.
- Strategy Week: twice a year the whole team comes together to hear the business strategy and product and technology roadmap first-hand, with fortnightly all-company business updates in between.
- Flat structure: everyone can learn from each other and senior leaders across the business.
- Wellbeing: benefits supporting your physical, psychological and financial wellbeing, from a day off on your birthday to end of trip facilities.
