A little bit more about the role

A Senior Developer provides technical and delivery leadership for a team of developers working on specific projects. This role will work with stakeholders and other developers to design and implement technical solutions for the business in a way that balances quality, cost, time and maintainability.

You'll be required to take responsibility for delivery of larger projects, lead multiple projects at once and support others by managing and mentoring other team members across various projects and day to day tasks.

What you'll be doing

  • Writing clean, well thought out and reliable code
  • Participating as a member of a small cross functional team containing members with different skills and experience
  • You'll work on big projects, small maintenance tasks, server management tasks and anything else that makes software our customers love
  • Taking lots of responsibility for your work as most teams don't have analysts, testers or system administrators
  • Taking part in our 24/7 on call rotation supporting one of the biggest web sites in the world

Essential Requirements

  • Be a nice person who cares about their work
  • Communicate well in person and in writing
  • Be a curious person committed to continual learning
  • Be capable of writing clean, well thought out, and reliable code
  • Be comfortable working on a project from the original fuzzy brief through development and deployment and beyond with minimal oversight required
  • Be comfortable in a Linux software development and deployment environment

Preferred Requirements

  • Have commercial Ruby on Rails experience
  • Have solid TDD/BDD experience
  • Have experience of other high volume/scale web apps
  • Contribute to Open Source projects
  • Past experience in other agile environments
  • Excellent Linux knowledge
  • Commercial experience with AWS
  • Experience with EventSourced/CQRS architectures a bonus

What We've Got

A Great Team and Culture

  • Developers are responsible for features from inception through to them being in the hands of customers. The devs talk directly to customers about what they're working on
  • We do continuous delivery properly: any team member can deploy, and we regularly do several deploys a day
  • We publish portions of our code as open source, and contribute back to open source projects we use
  • We were recently named Australia's Coolest Tech Company by JobAdvisor and one of the Best Places to Work in Australia
  • A fantastic culture of creatively minded, hard working people who are passionate about Envato and being part of its growth and success
  • Flexible working conditions – we want you to love your work but also your life outside of Envato
  • We actively work on creating a safe, inclusive environment free from discrimination
  • In addition to hiring for our Melbourne CBD office, we will also consider applications from experienced Ruby Developers who would like to work remotely (Australia wide)
  • Future career progression will be available across the entire business - we're big on internal opportunities and professional growth!

Who should apply?

We care deeply about diversity and inclusion at Envato, and welcome applicants of all types, and from all backgrounds. If you think you have the skills and experience needed for this role then we'd like to hear from you.

What next?

Submit a cover letter, an up to date copy of your resume and answers to the application questions. Good luck!
