JOB DETAILS
This role sits deliberately at the intersection of software engineering and platform engineering, with a strong focus on the AI infrastructure powering our product.
You will write backend code one day, tune a AWS cost dashboard the next, and own both halves of a feature’s lifecycle. If you are the kind of engineer who shipped a feature and then wished you’d been the one to deploy and observe it, this is the shape of role you’ve been looking for.
The engineering team is small — 5 in Sydney and 3 international — so your work compounds visibly and your voice matters in direction-setting conversations.
You enjoy solving problems with others, sharing what you know and learning along the way. You communicate clearly and follow things through, with a practical approach that makes life easier for your teammates and the people using our product.
To make this happen you will:
Build — approximately 50% of your time
- Design and ship backend services in TypeScript / Node.js — APIs, data model, business logic, LLM integrations
- Design schemas that survive contact with real users and changing requirements
- Own meaningful slices of the product end-to-end — make the calls, ship the work, live with the results
Run — approximately 50% of your time
- Own our AWS infrastructure — Lambda, ECS, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS, VPC, IAM — managed as code with CDK
- Improve CI/CD pipelines so developers can build, test, deploy and roll back with confidence
- Own the AI infrastructure that powers Settify’s LLM features — OpenAI (or equivalent) model access, Langfuse tracing, token/cost/latency monitoring, eval pipelines, rate limits, retries and timeouts
- Build observability into the delivery pipeline itself: alert design, SLI/SLO definition, incident response
- Help take Settify to new regions with repeatable regional deployments
- Keep customer data secure — IAM, secrets, encryption, backups — as part of everyday operations and work toward SOC 2
What you’ll bring
- 8+ years building and shipping production software, ideally including time where you also owned the platform it ran on
- Deep proficiency in Node.js on the backend, and good working experience in TypeScript
- Strong AWS depth: Lambda, ECS/EKS, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS, VPC, IAM — real ownership rather than just familiarity
- Infrastructure-as-code discipline: CDK or Terraform at depth
- CI/CD pipeline design: GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or similar; automated testing, deployments, rollbacks
- Observability fluency: Datadog, Grafana/Prometheus or CloudWatch; alert design
- StrongData modelling instincts — schemas that survived real users and changing requirements
- Database operations — Postgres, DynamoDB or similar; schema design, indexing, migrations
- Hands-onLLM infrastructure experience — API integration, rate limits, retries, timeouts, cost/latency monitoring
- A CS or engineering degree, or the equivalent depth from building things — we care about how you think, not where you learned it
- Light React familiarity — enough to debug or contribute to admin UI, not expert-level
Even better if you have;
- Experience setting up and running multi-region cloud deployments
- LegalTech, FinTech, HealthTech, or other regulated-industry background
- Shipping zero-to-one at an early-stage team — knows the difference between “scrappy” and “sloppy”
- Experience with LLM observability tooling (Langfuse, Phoenix, Helicone) in production
- Security-aware development: auth patterns, OWASP basics, secrets management, PII handling
