About the Role

You'll join a small, cross-functional product engineering team building Clipboard. It's a role that blends hands-on development with judgement: understanding the problem you're solving, deciding what's worth shipping, and growing into bigger design and architecture calls over time.

Responsibilities

• Take on well-scoped pieces of work and carry them from ticket to production, working closely with your Product Manager and fellow engineers.
• Write and review clean, well-tested code.
• Deliver incrementally using feature flags and staged rollouts, shipping value to customers early and de-risking bigger changes.
• Document meaningful technical decisions using lightweight Decision Logs.
• Get hands-on with AI tooling: prompts, skills, agent harnesses and in-repo context files.
• Take part in code reviews, both giving and receiving, as a core way to grow your craft.
• Work with our support team to triage and resolve production issues.

Requirements

• A degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).
• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or similar), with a clear sense of where AI helps, where it doesn't, and what to do about it.
• Excellent written and verbal communication.
• Solid CS fundamentals and a real interest in the whole lifecycle - not just writing code, but testing, shipping and supporting it in production.
• Curiosity about the product and the business, not just the code.
• An eye for quality that catches slop before it ships: unnecessary abstractions, duplicated logic, subtle bugs, and code that passes tests but misses the mark.
• A habit of digging in - the instinct to trace a problem to its root before reaching for a solution.
• A valid Employee Working With Children Check
• A satisfactory National Police Check
• Verification of unrestricted work rights in Australia (e.g. citizenship, passport or birth certificate).

• Node.js
