The Freelancer Engineering Team
This won't be your typical cog-in-the-machine type of job. If you're a high achiever with talent, looking for something more than a boring job in a corporate environment, want to work with the best and brightest and don't need to be handheld, this is the job for you.
If you join a mega-cap technology company as the 10,000th hire you might struggle to figure out the impact you are making. If you join a startup, you might get to work on the latest fad, but likely have few mentors to learn from, work on toy problems and never change the world.
At Freelancer you’ll get to work on a highly diverse, global set of internet-scale challenges where you will make a meaningful difference with real responsibility, while rapidly building your skills. We run a meritocracy - we actively promote from within.
You’ll also change lives - our mission is to provide one billion jobs. Not many companies actually make a difference like Freelancer does in providing opportunity and income to people all around the world.
We have a very wide range of engineering challenges to sink your teeth into. You’ll get a chance to be exposed to a wide variety of technologies across our businesses. Freelancer.com is an Alexa top 1000 website with a cutting-edge frontend stack incorporating Angular, TypeScript and RxJS. Our backend powers a large suite of services running a modern global marketplace; messaging, payments, translations, file services and a notification system sending millions of notifications an hour. We deploy code to production multiple times a day.

- Build and maintain high performance software engineering teams

- Maintain high standards of software quality within the team by establishing and practising good engineering practises and habits
- Work well with product managers and other teams to achieve the best outcomes given a number of constraints
- Cultivate a healthy team culture centred on company values
Required experience:
- Experience leading development teams
- Significant experience with building large scale web software
- Experience working in an agile team environment, continuously shipping environment
- Strong writing and verbal communication skills
- Strong sense of ownership and able to self-manage work
- Self-motivated and tracked-record of learning new technologies
- Strong troubleshooting skills and creative problem-solving ability
- Strong technical skills-we expect you can engage with our senior architects to contribute to technical plans and designs
- Tertiary Degree in Computer Science / Engineering (or related); MSc or PhD a plus
Nice to haves:
- Cloud computing experience, preferably AWS
- Experience with SOA, microservice and containerisation architecture
- Experience with development of public facing APIs
- Experience with web development languages, such as Python and Go
- Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, or Vue
- Experience with relational databases and SQL
- Windows and Linux experience
- Strong knowledge of computer networking
- Sound understanding of OWASP and the best web security practises
Benefits:
- Fast-track your career growth – our meritocratic culture is known for promoting from within and producing industry leaders in tech.
- Delicious Friday lunches from a rotating selection of local restaurants.
- A fully stocked kitchen and beer taps, complemented by a bar with a breathtaking view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
