Senior Full Stack Engineer

We exist to help investors make more informed and successful investment decisions. We achieve this by creating, curating and publishing high-quality investment content and data through our two platforms: Livewire Markets and Market Index.

• Livewire Markets is Australia’s leading platform for expert investment analysis, featuring insights from over 500 respected investment professionals.
• Market Index is Australia’s top source for comprehensive market data and ASX information, covering listed companies, ETFs, LICs, and REITs.

With over 1 million investors engaging with our content every month, we’re a fast-growing force in financial markets content.

We’re on the lookout for a passionate, self-starting Senior Software Engineer to join our dynamic and close-knit engineering team. If you love solving complex problems, enjoy autonomy, and have a keen interest in both technology and the financial markets, then this role could be your perfect next (or career-defining) step.

In this role, you’ll:

• Help re-platform Australia’s most visited stock market site, Market Index, and contribute to the ongoing development of Livewire, our investor-focused content platform.
• Build modern, scalable backend services, high-performance APIs, and shared frontend systems, powering millions of investor interactions each month.
• Work across the full stack, contributing to everything from data pipelines and content publishing tools to user-facing features that help investors make smarter decisions.
• Collaborate closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to shape features that are technically sound and deliver real value to users.
• Apply modern engineering approaches to solve complex problems pragmatically, we prioritise elegant, maintainable solutions over complexity.
• Grow your skills through mentorship, ownership, and exposure to high-impact projects, with potential to grow into a lead role over time.

Who are we looking for?

• A strong full stack engineer with experience building production systems across modern web technologies (e.g. TypeScript, Vue/React, Node.js, etc.).
• Cloud/AWS experience is a plus - All of our engineers play a role in managing our infrastructure.
• Comfortable working across both frontend and backend codebases, with a solid understanding of software architecture and performance trade-offs.
• A pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset. You know how to ship great code without over-engineering.
• Someone who’s curious about financial markets (or eager to learn) and excited to work on tools that empower retail and professional investors.
• A collaborative, thoughtful team member who values clean code, constructive feedback, and continual learning.

Why you’ll love working with us

• We’re profitable, founder-led, and independently owned. No VC pressure, just a clear mandate to build valuable, enduring technology.
• Engineering sits at the core of our product and business strategy, not as a service function.
• You’ll be joining at a pivotal time: we’re replacing legacy systems, launching new features, and building the future of our platforms from the ground up.
• You’ll be part of a senior, tight-knit team where autonomy, impact, and quality are valued above red tape or fluff.
• You’ll help create the platform that unlocks new revenue opportunities, supports 1M+ investors, and enables the future of financial media in Australia.

Perks

• Flexible Work: Hybrid work environment: split your time between home and the office (or potentially work remotely).
• Learning & Development: Dedicated budget and time to grow your skills.
• If you're ready to build, innovate, and make an impact, we'd love to hear from you!
• Team Events: Regular activities: trivia nights, escape rooms, group runs, and more.
• Supportive Culture: Work in a diverse, collaborative team where your contributions matter.

If you’re ready to join a company where innovation meets impact and where your engineering skills can help shape the future of investment insights, we’d love to hear from you.
