Senior Software Engineer

About the role

Hi, we’re PEXA!

We know you’ll Google us before applying, so let’s keep this brief. PEXA revolutionised the way that property is settled in Australia, turning a paper-based process into a digital one. Our solution is a world-first, with over 500 people across Australia and an expanding international team, we’re helping 20,000+ families into their homes each week.

We’re passionate about solving problems for our customers – always striving to set the standard for how property is bought and sold. Being awarded as one of the best places to work in Australia is a recognition of our culture and commitment to innovation, customers and our community.

We’re growing fast, that is where you come in.

We believe our success in Australia is worth sharing and that our proven technology will advance how the UK buys and sells homes.

Establishing ourselves within the UK in late 2020, we are committed to collaborating with lawyers, conveyancers, lenders, government and the property industry, to set the new standard for both remortgages and buying and selling property.

What You'll Be Doing You’ll be a technical specialist in either backend or full-stack engineering, contributing to the design and delivery of software that supports our property platform. You’ll own features from early discussion through to production, helping make sure they’re reliable, secure, scalable and easy to maintain.

You’ll work closely with product, QA, UX and other engineers. You’ll also have the opportunity to influence technical decisions, share your knowledge and help shape how we build software as the UK business grows.

In practice, you’ll:

-

Design and build complex software solutions, writing clean, testable code.

-

Take ownership of features from initial design through to deployment and production support.

-

Contribute to architectural decisions and technical discussions.

-

Help improve performance through approaches such as monitoring, caching and load testing.

-

Build quality in from the start through unit, integration and performance testing.

-

Review code, mentor less experienced engineers and share what you know through documentation and team sessions.

-

Work with colleagues across engineering and product to deliver useful, well-tested outcomes.

-

Explore how AI development tools can support your work and where AI could add value to our products.

What You'll Bring You’ll have substantial experience building and supporting software in a collaborative engineering environment. You’ll be confident working through complex technical problems and making sound decisions about how to solve them.

We’re particularly interested in people with:

-

Advanced backend experience in Node.js, Python or Kotlin, or full-stack experience with modern frontend frameworks.
