🚀 Senior Software Engineer – Kotlin / TypeScript

Enterprise AI Platform | Melbourne CBD | Contract or Permanent


Cutting-edge tech. Real production AI. High-visibility digital program.


We’re partnering with a large Australian enterprise undergoing a significant digital transformation across customer-facing platforms — including AI-powered voice and chat systems used at scale.


This is not experimentation. These systems are live, regulated, and customer-critical.


They’re building intelligent, event-driven platforms using modern architecture and cloud-native tooling, and they’re looking for experienced engineers who want to work on meaningful, high-impact systems.


💻 What You’ll Be Working On

  • Designing and building scalable APIs and backend services
  • Developing event-driven systems (Kafka, SQS, etc.)
  • Enhancing AI-powered customer interaction platforms
  • Improving CI/CD pipelines and DevOps automation
  • Collaborating across engineering, product and compliance teams
  • Contributing to system performance, reliability and quality


This is a high-ownership environment — engineers here influence architecture, tooling and engineering standards.


đź›  Tech Stack

  • Kotlin / Java (Spring Boot)
  • TypeScript
  • AWS (cloud-native deployments)
  • Event-driven architecture
  • REST / GraphQL APIs
  • SQL & NoSQL databases
  • CI/CD & DevOps practices


Full-stack capability welcomed, backend-leaning engineers strongly encouraged.

👤 What They’re Looking For

  • 5+ years experience in backend or full-stack engineering
  • Strong Kotlin/Java and/or TypeScript capability
  • Experience building scalable distributed systems
  • Comfortable working in regulated or complex environments
  • Clear communicator who collaborates well across teams
  • Engineers who enjoy solving real-world problems at scale


They are not looking for ego-driven “rockstars”.


They want thoughtful, collaborative engineers who take pride in quality work.

🌍 Why Consider It?

  • Large-scale digital transformation program
  • AI systems in real production use
  • Enterprise stability with modern tech
  • Hybrid working model (Melbourne CBD)
  • Contract and permanent opportunities available


If you’re interested in working on intelligent systems that millions of customers interact with — without joining a chaotic startup — this could be worth exploring.
