Culture Amp Hiring for Software Engineer (Front-End Focused) Job at Melbourne, Australia Full Time

Culture Amp is a remote-first company and this position may be based anywhere within Australia or New Zealand. The role can be fully remote or a mix of in-person if you’re based near our Melbourne office.

About the role

You’ll be joining a team working on our flagship Engagement product, helping companies understand their people and make meaningful change to their workplace culture. All our teams are cross-functional and have the autonomy and responsibility for bringing features from conception all the way through to owning them in production, and you’ll be involved throughout that process.

As an engineer on one of our teams you can expect to:

• Tackle a wide variety of technical problems across our codebases as you build features using our design system, and help us move to a distributed front-end architecture.
• Collaborate with other engineers in your team through pair programming, contributing to solution designs, or giving feedback on pull requests, to build shared understanding of your work.
• Work with the product managers and designers in your team to understand customer problems and help to develop, refine, and then implement solutions.
• Maintain and support the services your team is responsible for. You’ll ensure our applications are healthy, observe and understand services in production, and attend to issues raised by our customers.

About you

This job is for you if:

• You have substantial experience in building web-based user interfaces. You have a deep understanding of fundamental front-end engineering concepts, performance, accessibility, and maintenance.
• You are a proactive and clear communicator. You should value empathy and kindness and be able to articulate your ideas and feelings when writing or speaking, and be open to the perspectives others bring.
• You seek to understand and solve customer problems. You think about how your work – at all levels – impacts our customers and improves their experience.
• Your process involves documenting your work. You write code that is consistent, maintainable, and understood by your teammates.
• You’re at home with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and are comfortable engineering deeper into the stack. You have a good understanding of HTTP, and can work with APIs to fetch the data you need.
• You have an appreciation for design and advocate for its value. You enjoy collaborating with designers to create interfaces that are delightful and functional.
• Your code is thoroughly covered by integration and unit tests. You understand the value of test-driven development and know how and when to add tests.
• You’re self-motivated and can work independently. You take the initiative to ensure that you have everything you need to work efficiently and call for support when required.
• You’re aligned with our values and demonstrate them through your working practice.

It’s not expected that any single candidate would check every box here – what’s important is that you arrive with a strong set of fundamentals, and that you’re committed to building the skills you’ll need to do great work. Similarly, while we use a range of specific technologies – React, TypeScript, Kotlin, Go, Ruby and Rails – you don’t need to have direct experience with them for this position and there’ll be opportunities to learn as part of the role.

Research shows us that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds often don’t apply for roles unless they meet all the criteria. We strongly encourage you to apply if you’re at all interested. We’d love to learn how your unique experience will improve our teams and widen our perspective.

Supporting you at work

We ensure you have the tools and support you need to thrive, both inside and outside of work:

• A new computer and budgets for setting you up to work where and how you want
• A stake in the company’s success through our employee share options program
• Flexible working hours and arrangements so you can create a schedule that suits you
• Generous parental leave allowances and at-work support programs for both primary and secondary carers
• Resources and flexible budgets for coaching, well-being, and to support your growth
