Overview
Senior Software Engineer - TypeScript, Serverless Systems Sydney | Hybrid | $200k + Super
This role is for engineers who care about how systems behave under real-world conditions, not just how fast features ship.
You'll work on production systems where money moves, decisions have consequences, and correctness matters more than velocity.
Why this role exists
Build and evolve a serverless, cloud-native platform on AWS
TypeScript is a first-class language across the system
Work on real, distributed systems with real constraints
Solve problems where correctness and reliability matter
How you\'ll work
- Design and build serverless services in AWS using TypeScript
- Own meaningful parts of the system end to end
- Make technical and architectural decisions without babysitting
- Design for retries, idempotency, failure modes, and recovery
- Improve system quality over time, not just close tickets
Autonomy is real - but it\'s autonomy without chaos.
What we\'re looking for
This isn\'t about titles or years. It\'s about engineering temperament.
You're likely someone who:
- Has strong Computer Science fundamentals and applies them practically
- Has hands-on, commercial experience building serverless systems on AWS
- Is genuinely strong in TypeScript, not just familiar with it
- Understands distributed systems, trade-offs, and failure modes
- Cares about production quality and system behaviour
You may be full stack, but you're systems-first, not UI-first.
Technical environment
- AWS-first, serverless architecture
- TypeScript across backend and API layers
- Event-driven services and managed cloud infrastructure
- CI/CD, monitoring, and operational ownership
You don\'t need every AWS service memorised, but you do need real experience operating production workloads.
What this role offers
- Trust - meaningful ownership without micromanagement
- Depth - real systems, not surface-level features
- Longevity - career capital, not resume padding
- Respect - quality over heroics
Package
- $200k + Super
- Sydney-based, hybrid working
- Australian working rights required
If you\'re a TypeScript-focused engineer with real AWS serverless experience and you enjoy building systems where correctness matters, send me your CV for a confidential conversation.
No hype. No noise. Just good engineering.
