• Hybrid work style in Melbourne or Brisbane
• Sports Domain
• $100K - $120K + Super

An established, sports-focused e-commerce platform recently secured Series A funding 🏆 , fuelling an exciting growth phase. With a lean tech team already in place, they’re seeking a mid-level, Australia-based Java Developer 👨‍💻👩‍💻 to join the team full-time.

An essential part of this role is having good communication skills, where you can easily relate to others, and where you are as mad about sports as we are!!

Working hybrid in our office in Melbourne or Brisbane, you'll collaborate with team members in Melbourne and Brisbane, enhancing business processes and evolving the backend API systems that drive online ticketing sales 🎟️.

Key Responsibilities:

• 🛠️ Design, build, and maintain backend systems in Java (versions 11 and newer).
• 🎨 Contribute to the website interface using React (experience here is a plus).
• 🔗 Integrate with various external APIs (e.g., ticketing and travel platforms) to streamline ticket transformations, refunds, and business processes.
• 🤝 Work closely with business development to manage and improve API’s.
• 🧩 Ensure code longevity and maintainability, creating robust solutions for the platform's current and future needs.

What We're Looking For:

• 🎓 5-7 years of experience as a Java Developer, with a solid background in backend development and API management.
• 💡 Proven ability to work independently, make decisions, and problem-solve without extensive guidance.
• 💻 Familiarity with Unix-based systems, especially command-line operations; experience with editors like ‘vi’ is a bonus.
• 🛠️ A practical approach to tech; you’ll thrive if you appreciate a “boring” but reliable stack that’s built to last.
• 🚀 An attitude that values curiosity and initiative; the ethos is all about learning, attempting new solutions, and taking ownership of your work.
• 🧩 Experience in a business-centric environment, working with non-technical stakeholders.

Preferred Background:

• 🎫 Prior experience working with ticketing or e-commerce platforms is advantageous.
• 🤗 Comfortable collaborating with a small, close-knit tech team and aligning with business development goals.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys the autonomy of a mid-sized project, values collaboration with business-focused team members, and is passionate about crafting backend systems that drive business success. 🌟
