About the Role
This role is for an engineer a few years into their career who wants to move fast and grow faster. You will own your day-to-day work end-to-end and contribute to our largest, most complex projects. You will make the call yourself on well-scoped problems, and bring the ambiguous ones to the team early with options and a recommendation. As you build context, the scope of what you own grows with it.
Responsibilities
- Ship features across the stack: frontend, backend, database and own the day-to-day delivery of your slice of the work
- Contribute to large, complex projects alongside the team, taking clear ownership of the pieces that are yours
- Clarify assumptions and scope up front. Asking the right question before you build is worth more than fixing it after
- Help keep production healthy: debug real patient-facing issues, respond when things break, and care that patients never feel it
- Build a working understanding of how Abby delivers care, so you know why the thing you're building matters to a patient or a clinician
Requirements
- A few years shipping production software (roughly a couple of years, with real users on the other side of your code)
- Comfortable across the stack; stronger in one area is fine, but not put off by others
- Clarify before you build: surface assumptions early, ask the question that saves a week of rework, and follow through on commitments
- Quality habits: attention to detail, accuracy, and pride in work that's finished rather than merely working
- Coachable and curious: take feedback as fuel, actively seek it out, and be honest about gaps
- Interested in the business, not just the code: understand Abby's priorities and how your work ladders up to them
- Comfortable with pace and change; startup experience is a strong plus, being unfazed when priorities shift is the real requirement
- Sydney-based and keen to work alongside the team in person

About the Company
- AI-native: AI tools (Claude Code, primarily) write most of our code. Your leverage is judgment, direction and review - knowing what to ask for, and spotting when the answer looks right but isn't.
- Patients first: The tech comes second to the patient experience. We optimise to the level that makes sense for the problem, not for its own sake.
