Boar Group is a Brisbane-based group of fire protection, HVAC and facilities businesses with technicians working across thousands of sites in Queensland — hospitals, shopping centres, schools, apartment towers. Behind the teams on site is a growing in-house technology function building the software that runs the group. We've reached the point where that needs a dedicated developer. That's you.
Your Role
You’ll join as our first dedicated software developer, working on the internal platforms that keep a multi-business services group running. You’ll work directly with the product owner and the leadership team, so you’ll see the whole picture — how the work gets done on site and how that turns into what the business sees.
Day to day you will:
- Build new features across the stack — React front end, Node.js API, PostgreSQL database
- Build mobile applications.
- Turn ideas from the product owner into clear, well-scoped work
- Test what you build, properly, and fix what you find
- Keep the documentation up to date
- Learn to deploy and run the platform on AWS, with support and guard rails
- Spend time with the people who use it — our customers and internal staff — and bring what you learn back into the product
Our stack:
React + Vite, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS (Sydney), GitHub. We use modern AI‑assisted development tools day to day and you’ll be set up with them from day one. You don't need to know all of this already — you need to be someone who learns quickly and enjoys it.
Who we're looking for
- A recent graduate (or final‑semester student) in computer science, software engineering, IT or similar
- You’ve built things — uni projects, side projects, anything you can show us. Projects count more than grades
- Comfortable with the basics: a programming language you know well, some SQL, git, how the web works
- You write clearly and ask good questions
- You’re curious about how real businesses work and happy to get out and talk to the people on the ground
- Honest when you don’t know something, and quick to go and find out
Career Progression
This is the first developer seat in a technology team that's growing. Do well and you become the person we build the team around.
Work Life Balance
Hybrid — a few days a week with the team in Brisbane, the rest from wherever you work best. Standard hours. We run real businesses and we value people who have a life outside of work.
Culture & Vibe
Practical, friendly and direct. Small team, no corporate layers, leadership you’ll actually talk to every week. Our software has to work for technicians standing in a plant room, so we care about things that work over things that look clever.
