Full Stack Developer

About us

EstimateOne is a team of 40 people (and growing) with a mission to better connect the commercial construction industry in Australia and abroad. We want to enable people to do more of the things that matter, and less of the things that don’t. With 11 years in the game, we're both a profitable and fast growing business.

We're the market leader in Australia & New Zealand and have recently expanded to the UK as well. Our Vision is for our platform to become the industry standard. To do that we'll need to make sure we're unlocking value from what we've already built while also inventing new stuff. It's equal parts optimisation and innovation.

About the role

We’re on a growth journey, and we want you to help us shape that. This is an exciting role that will see you as custodian of the platform's quality and usability; in a position to move the needle on customer satisfaction. As a mid to senior level full stack developer who thrives in the front-end, you'll make a real, measurable difference to thousands of users by proactively addressing performance and reliability issues, as well as implementing well-styled and usable features. You will bring experience to help us shape our Agile practices and uplift our capability in terms of Test Driven Development, Clean Code practices and our ability to work collaboratively.

As a full stack developer within our engineering team, your role is definitely not to just churn out lines of code. We bring engineers into the conversation early and it's everyone's responsibility to think big-picture and be strategic. You'll work in a cross-functional team in close collaboration with designers and product experts and you’ll help to define the way we work.

We're looking for smart people who are keen to collaborate - it's that simple. The ability to champion our values matters to us; we care about our team and you'll be joining a group of people who want each other to be happy and successful.

About the platform

Our primary codebase is a Symfony app running on AWS and backed by a MySQL database. The older parts of our platform are a pretty standard Twig/jQuery frontend talking to controllers on the backend. All of our new development is focused on building out React components to talk to our GraphQL API, with a plan to migrate the entire platform to React. We've started building out a design system to help power us ahead on that journey. You can see the progress at https://styleguide.estimateone.com

We currently use the following technologies.

• Javascript, Typescript, React
• GraphQL
• Elasticsearch
• AWS technologies including: Lambda, Fargate, EC2, S3, etc
• Buildkite, Capistrano, Ansible
• PHP, Symfony
• Doctrine
• RabbitMQ
• Twig

About You

We know that unicorns with all of these skills do not exist (in fact, we don’t even know do all of this stuff, but we want to), so hopefully you can help us with some of that. So our ideal candidate will:

• Have worked with some of the above technologies

• Have deep experience with front end technologies including React and TypeScript
• Be willing to get involved in back-end development
• Write clean, testable code and encourage TDD
• Encourage modern software development techniques including DDD, pair programming, microservice based architecture, CQRS, event sourcing
• Work collaboratively in a team and encourage Pair Programming
• Want to understand the problems they are solving, not just the features they are building
• Value the team progressing towards its goal more than individuals task progress
• Have experience in a range of Agile environments

Requirements

• You'll need to WFH until we are allowed to return to our office in Richmond, Melbourne.
• We are flexible about hours. You don't have to work full time, although we'd love it if you did.
• You'll need to be a great communicator and a fluent English speaker.
• You'll need to be legally eligible to work in Australia.
• Formal training/education is nice, but not a hard requirement (after all, our CEO dropped out of university after six weeks...)

We offer a number of benefits that aren’t just limited to working with a great team. We offer entrepreneurial leave, volunteer leave, flexible hours and we invest in your learning by providing each team member with $5k annually to spend on professional development.
