Software Engineer

Want to deliver tech with purpose, with people who care?

Join us in our mission to create solutions that help keep children safe online.

Who are we?

Headquartered in Perth, Australia, with offices around the world, Qoria is an ASX-listed global leader in child digital safety technology and services. We are a purpose-driven business operating under the Linewize brand in North America and Asia Pacific, the Smoothwall brand in the UK, the Qustodio brand in EMEA, and Qoria LK in Sri Lanka.

Our solutions are used by schools, school districts, and parental communities to protect children from harmful online content, identify students at risk based on their digital behaviours, and help teachers maintain focus and safe learning environments in the digital classroom. Today, 30,000 schools and 7 million parents rely on our solutions to help keep 25 million children safe across 180 countries worldwide.

What’s the opportunity:

As a Software Engineer you will collaborate closely with technical leaders, engineers and designers, to ensure that salutations are accurately estimated, delivered to specification, and maintain high quality and low cost of ownership. You will contribute your perspective to shared technical discussions, helping the team make well-informed engineering trade-offs that balance quality, velocity and maintainability.

This opportunity is with a newly created team in the Sri Lankan engineering group, reporting into our global platform division. This team will initially be working on a greenfields frontend application used by our end users. 

As a modern software company, we prioritise continuous delivery and sustainable pace - shipping multiple improvements to production every day. Here you will gain experience at a SaaS scaleup, helping build and run high performance, highly available and loveable products at a scale. You will get to work on interesting technical challenges, both through the sheer number of users (we keep 30 million children safe online), as well as demonstrating your impact through the number of teams internally building on front end platforms you will create.

Essential Skills:

• At least 2 years of commercial software development experience, with a strong focus on frontend development, with React and TypeScript.
• At least 1 year of experience with Chakra UI (or any similar CSS-in-JS frameworks).
• At least 1 year of experience working with backend technologies, such as building APIs or server-side rendering frameworks in Node.
• Above-par written and verbal English skills.
• A strong foundation in frontend principles.
• A commitment to continuous learning and awareness of new technologies and practices in frontend development.
• Experience writing and maintaining automated tests in frontends, built as code.

• A strong sense of responsibility and accountability for your work.

Other Skills We Value:
This list hopefully gives you a flavour for the sort of team we are. If you have a few of these as well you may be a good match.

• Exposure to building software using cloud platforms and services (we use GCP predominantly but highly value experience in AWS or Azure), particularly infrastructure related to serving frontend applications (such as CDNs, caching and load balancers - setup with Terraform).
• Exposure to CI/CD (Github Actions), build systems and bundlers for frontend applications such as Vite/Webpack.
• Exposure to operating software systems in production (we believe strongly in the DevOps principle “You build it, you run it”).
• Understanding OWASP and related web security practices.
• Exposure to monorepo tooling and management, looked upon favourably (Lerna, Nx, Turborepo).
• Exposure to microfrontend architectures and technologies.
