If you are tired of corporate bureaucracy and ticket-clearing roles that lack genuine technical ownership, this is your playground. You will join a lean, high-velocity Australian software organisation working directly alongside the CTO and Founder to build patented hyper-automation and AI platforms. Shipping 2 to 3 production releases per day across 8 active application versions, you will take full technical ownership from C#.NET backend services and desktop client components to complex database architectures handling millions of records while jumping straight into rebuilding the core Document AI system.
What you'll be doing:
- Core C# & .NET Engineering: Design, write, and maintain robust backend logic, APIs, and desktop application features in C# and .NET.
- Advanced SQL & Data Modelling: Write complex queries, optimise indexing, tune performance, and design database schemas across 32+ integrated sub-applications.
- Document AI System Rebuild: Take direct ownership of rebuilding and optimising the core Document AI system from day one.
- High-Velocity Deployment: Participate in continuous deployment workflows delivering 2 to 3 production releases daily.
- R&D & Feature Feasibility: Collaborate directly with the CTO and Founder in daily engineering huddles to evaluate, prototype, and build new capabilities.
- System Refactoring & Performance: Identify memory, database access, and application bottlenecks to ensure sub-second response times for complex compliance processing.
- Quality & Standards: Participate in peer code reviews, champion clean code practices, and maintain stability across both R&D and BAU engineering streams.
Experience required:
- Core Stack Proficiency: 5 + years of current, hands-on software development experience using .NET, C#, and SQL.
- Deep SQL Fluency: Exceptional relational database skills with proven ability to write, debug, and optimise complex queries, execution plans, and large-scale data architectures.
- Full-Lifecycle Exposure: Experience across backend APIs, data access layers, and business logic, with desktop development exposure (WPF, WinForms, or MAUI) highly regarded.
- Agile / High-Velocity Execution: Demonstrated ability to thrive in rapid-release CI/CD environments with continuous integration practices.
- Problem-Solving Mindset: Proactive curiosity toward software architecture, system efficiency, and AI-driven workflow automation.
