We’re REA

An Australian start-up success story we’re quietly proud of.

From a garage in Melbourne to the global stage is an achievement we’re humbled by. Our idea to put pictures of houses on the internet has blossomed since 1995, and we now have businesses across Australia, Asia, India and North America.

Our purpose is to change the way the world experiences property. No matter where you’re at on your property journey, we’re here to help on every step – whether that’s buying, selling, renting or renovating.

Some of our brands include realestate.com.au, realcommercial.com.au, spacely.com.au, Flatmates.com.au, Smartline.com.au and Proptrack.com.

REA has been named one of Australia’s Best Workplaces for 2021 by Great Place to Work Australia New Zealand, coming in at number 4. This recognition is a great proof point of our unique and special culture. A culture that is driven by our people, our values, and our commitment to making a difference in the community.

What we’re doing

With us, you’ll experience impact. REA is evolving how it leverages data and technology to deliver benefits for customers. After the acquisition of PropTrack in May-18, and following large growth in recent years, we are now looking for a UI Developer to help build the systems and applications of B2B API and web application solutions for the banking sector.

PropTrack provides property data and technical platform solutions to customers in the financial and government sectors. The Engineering Team within PropTrack works together to deliver solutions to our internal and external customers. It is the core delivery centre for developing solutions to meet customer priorities and align with PropTrack’s technology strategy. While no two days are ever the same, you’ll be:

• Designing, coding, testing and deploying new web-based products and services, with high quality experience for users.

• Maintaining existing products, including bug fixes and “Business As Usual” feature enhancements.

• Supporting production systems.

• Building high quality solutions that meet the needs of our users.

• Contributing to the implementation of major features.

• Working with stakeholders to design high quality solutions that meet the needs of our users

Who we’re looking for

• Proven skills in modern web application frameworks, libraries, and design patterns.

• Proven skills in the design of high-performance dynamic web-based products and services that scale to millions of users.

• Proven skills in modern software development paradigms such as object orientation and/or functional programming and continuous delivery.

• Able to communicate and collaborate effectively with business stakeholders.

• Looks at tricky situations through a solutions-focused lens.

• Work productively in a fast paced and agile environment.

But we don’t just look for someone based on their skills and expertise. It’s our connection, acceptance and genuine care for each other that makes REA a great place to work. That means you also need to be:

• Savvy minded and have the ability to think a little left of field / outside the box

• A strong and creative communicator

• Friendly, approachable and have good relationship management skills

• An avid supporter of our fully inclusive culture – we celebrate difference and ensure that everyone belongs

The REA experience

The physical, mental, emotional and financial health of our people is something we’ll never stop caring about. This is a place to learn and grow. We’re committed to your development – both professionally and personally. Your experience with us is something we take seriously.

We offer:

• Onsite/online health and wellbeing programs

• Because We Care program which includes volunteer leave and community grants, to ensure you have the opportunity to give back to your community

• Hack Days so you can bring your big ideas to life

• An additional day of leave just for your birthday

• A flexible working environment meaning we strike the balance of what you need and what works for the business (and yes, our leaders fully understand the flexible working policy)

• A hybrid approach to the future of work – https://www.rea-group.com/blog/the-way-we-work-at-rea-a-hybrid-approach/

• Free breakfast (and who doesn’t love a free brekkie) in our Sydney office

• Industry leading gender-neutral parental leave

Oh, and by the way:

At REA we value diversity and inclusion in all forms. Gender, religion, ethnicity, LBTGIQ+, neurodiversity and so much more. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you’ve got the must-haves, dedication and enthusiasm to learn but don’t necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We’d love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.

If you like the sound of us, then we think you should apply today. We’re proud to be Circle Back Initiative Employer and we commit to respond to every applicant. While we’re looking at your application, and preparing to come back to you with an update, why not get to know us a bit more through our various social channels?
