Your Role in the Action As a Senior Software Engineer at Andromeda Robotics, you’ll be responsible for developing and maintaining our customer-facing web applications across multiple platforms. This includes working across the full web application stack, building rich, interactive user experiences with React or Vue on the frontend, while collaborating closely on backend services built with Node.js. You will be more than just a frontend developer building websites; you will develop scalable, maintainable web applications that deliver seamless and secure experiences to our customers. Security will be a key focus across all your work. You’ll work hands-on with design implementation, API integration, testing, performance optimisation, and CI/CD, partnering closely with product, design, backend, and robotics teams to ship polished, reliable applications. How You’ll Make an Impact Develop robust, production-grade web applications using React or Vue for frontend and Node.js for backend services. Also working with Python for integration and support of backend processes and ML-related features. Implement secure authentication and data handling, with security as a key priority. Define and implement state management, caching, offline/async patterns, and error handling that keep the experience resilient. Integrate REST/GraphQL services; shape schemas and versioning; own auth flows and secure data handling. Establish CI/CD, automated testing (unit/widget/integration/E2E), crash reporting, logging, and telemetry to keep quality measurable. Harden performance: profiling, bundle/runtime optimisations, image/asset strategy, network efficiency, and startup time. Drive release automation for mobile (store pipelines) and web (zero‑downtime deploys, feature flags, A/B, observability). Lead design/architecture reviews, mentor engineers, and document standards that scale. What We Are Looking For Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Software Engineering, or equivalent real‑world experience delivering production apps. 5+ years building customer‑facing applications, including taking at least three complex app from refactor/rewrite to production. Proficiency in Javascript TypeScript + React/Next.js (React Native/Angular/Vue also valued) as well as Python. Deep understanding of state management (e.g., BLoC, Riverpod, Provider, Redux), async/data flow, and architectural patterns. Strong API integration experience (REST/GraphQL), auth (OAuth/JWT), and secure storage/networking practices. Testing mindset across the board; comfortable owning CI/CD pipelines and release tooling. Proven performance and accessibility chops; you care about polish and measurable user‑perceived quality. Excellent collaboration and communication; experience in mentoring and setting engineering standards. Bonus Qualifications Native iOS/Android experience; release automation and store operations. Experience across cloud, namely AWS. Observability (crash analytics, tracing/metrics), experimentation, and feature‑flag platforms. Experience in healthcare/aged‑care or privacy‑sensitive domains. The salary for this position may vary depending on factors such as job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package may also include additional benefits or components based on the specific role. Details will be provided if an employment offer is made.
