Engineering Full-time Melbourne, Australia & Philippines Hybrid / Remote-friendly

## Role highlights

-   Strong TypeScript programming
-   Strong hands-on AWS (EC2, Lightsail and related services)
-   Long-term codebase and production support

## Please read this post carefully before applying

We are only looking for highly experienced candidates who strongly match the technical requirements below. If you do not have solid hands-on experience with TypeScript, AWS, and long-term software development/support work, please do not apply.

## Role overview

We are looking for a highly skilled, reliable, and technically strong DevOps Engineer / Developer to join our team. This role is a combination of development and operations (DevOps), meaning you will be responsible for both building systems and supporting live production environments.

This is not a basic support role. You will actively develop, maintain, troubleshoot, optimise, and support cloud-based applications and infrastructure while working closely with our internal systems and engineering workflows.

The ideal candidate must specialise in three key areas: TypeScript programming, AWS infrastructure and cloud services, and long-term programming and codebase maintenance/support. Because our platform is heavily built around TypeScript and AWS, we are specifically looking for someone who is highly confident and experienced in both.

## Key responsibilities

-   Develop, maintain, and support TypeScript-based applications
-   Manage, monitor, and maintain AWS cloud infrastructure
-   Handle both development and operational responsibilities (Dev + Ops)
-   Troubleshoot infrastructure, deployment, and application-related issues
-   Work with Linux servers and cloud environments
-   Configure and optimise AWS services such as EC2 and Lightsail
-   Support and maintain existing production codebases and systems
-   Collaborate with the team to improve scalability, reliability, and performance
-   Implement automation and CI/CD workflows where applicable
-   Manage and maintain PostgreSQL and SQLite databases
-   Perform deployments, backups, updates, monitoring, and system maintenance
-   Help improve engineering workflows, infrastructure stability, and operational efficiency

## Mandatory requirements

-   Strong programming experience in TypeScript
-   Strong hands-on AWS experience (EC2, Lightsail, and related services)
-   Strong experience supporting and maintaining production systems and existing codebases long-term
-   Advanced Linux server administration and troubleshooting skills
-   Experience with Node.js and TypeScript-based applications
-   Strong understanding of DevOps practices and cloud operations
-   Experience with PostgreSQL and SQLite
-   Ability to independently troubleshoot technical and infrastructure issues
-   Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
-   Must be comfortable handling both development and operational responsibilities
-   Must be working on macOS (development environment requirement)

## Highly preferred

-   Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools
-   Experience with Docker or containerised environments
-   Experience supporting high-availability or production systems
-   Familiarity with infrastructure optimisation and performance tuning
-   Experience working in fast-paced startup or technical environments

## How to apply

To confirm that you have carefully read this job post, please include the word "TypeScript" at the top of your application.

-   Your updated resume/CV
-   Your GitHub link
-   A brief summary of your AWS and TypeScript experience
-   Examples of systems/projects you have maintained or supported long-term
