Lead Software Engineer
Deputy is a global SaaS remote-first workforce management company with hubs in Sydney, Melbourne, San Francisco and London, plus team members working remotely across the United States. Our platform serves over 1.5 million workers and 375,000 workplaces across 100+ countries. We are backed by top global investors and recently achieved Unicorn status.
At Deputy, we’re improving the world of work, one shift at a time, for 80% of the world’s workforce: hourly workers. These are the dedicated employees who keep our world running – from baristas to nurses, cleaners to delivery drivers, florists to factory workers. Despite their vital role in society, most workplace technology has focused on those workers who sit behind a desk, but at Deputy, we transform the frontline. When businesses use Deputy, their workplaces thrive – the business is more profitable, compliant, and productive, while the workers are more engaged and happier at work.
We're becoming an AI-native company, a commitment that means you'll be empowered (and expected) to use AI tools and thinking in your day-to-day work. You'll have the training, support, and freedom to use AI responsibly and creatively to spark ideas, solve problems faster, and unlock new ways of working.
If you’re passionate about creating solutions that put people first and helping businesses and their teams thrive, join us at Deputy and make an impact where it matters most!
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Back End) to use their experience to deliver meaningful impact across key initiatives and help raise the bar for engineering excellence. You’ll play a hands-on role in designing and building scalable backend systems, tackling complex technical challenges, and driving high-quality outcomes that matter to our customers.
You’ll collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, designers and leaders to develop robust products and features for the Deputy platform, supporting millions of users and businesses ranging from small and medium organisations to large enterprises.
In this role, your work, from backend services to APIs and system integrations, will directly power and improve the day-to-day operations of customers around the world.
This role can be worked predominantly remotely; however, you must be able to attend the office when required and support occasional site visits as part of the role.
