Our client is building smart, AI-powered tools that sit at the centre of workforce safety, compliance, and onboarding. From logistics warehouses to high-risk construction zones, their systems ensure that every person on-site is trained, registered, and ready — before they even walk through the door.

They’re now looking for a seasoned Node.js engineer to join their product engineering team. You’ll be a driving force behind one of the most practical, purpose-driven platforms in the country — used daily by thousands of contractors and staff across Australia and beyond.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and scaling back-end microservices in Node.js and TypeScript
  • Working closely with product, compliance, and AI teams to power next-gen safety platforms
  • Helping transition legacy services as the stack modernises (Scala experience a plus, but not essential)
  • Driving architectural decisions in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment
  • Engaging with cutting-edge AI tooling — think smart decision engines, automation, and embedded intelligence
What Our Client Is Looking For:
  • 5+ years’ experience in backend engineering with strong Node.js/TypeScript fundamentals
  • Exposure to modern DevOps practices, REST APIs, and scalable architecture
  • Curiosity and comfort navigating unfamiliar codebases — bridging legacy and modern systems
  • A team player with excellent communication skills who thrives in product-led teams
  • Experience in a start-up environment or SME background typically thrives in this business
Why You’ll Love It:
  • Work with and explore latest AI tooling and agentic solution builds
  • Work that matters — build tech that keeps people safe and compliant in high-risk environments
  • Supportive leadership, strong engineering culture, no micro-managing
  • Huge growth potential as the platform scales across three powerful product pillars
  • Flexible working options + a culture of autonomy, trust, and getting things done

This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-led team that’s not only solving real-world problems but redefining how technology can protect people in high-risk environments. If you’re a senior engineer who wants to build smart, scalable systems that matter — this is your moment.
