About the role 

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join SEEK and help us build products and platforms that deliver real value to our candidates, hirers and internal teams across APAC.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be a key technical contributor and leader within your squad. You’ll own and evolve critical services, improve the health and reliability of our platforms, and help shape technical direction. You’ll work in a cross-functional squad, collaborating with engineers, product and design to deliver user-centric, reliable and scalable software, while mentoring others and lifting the overall engineering quality of the team.

About the team

Online Identity sits at the heart of SEEK's hirer and candidate experiences. We build and run the secure login, registration and account capabilities that people use every time they interact with SEEK. We're two tightly connected teams, Online Identity Experience and Online Identity Services, working as a tribe. Experience owns the customer-facing flows and journeys; Services provides the identity platform, tools and frameworks that other SEEK teams rely on to authenticate users and protect their data.

Many of our systems are mission-critical, and we partner closely with Auth0 to design and operate secure, scalable and highly available solutions. It's a great place to deepen your expertise in Auth0 and modern identity management while solving complex problems that are core to SEEK's products and platform.

We're a collaborative, product-minded engineering team that values ownership, pragmatism and continuous learning. When we do our job well, every SEEK customer has a seamless and secure experience, and dozens of teams can ship features with confidence.
