Software Engineer

Nine is Australia’s largest locally owned media company. Working at Nine, you’ll have access to a unique range of experiences and opportunities, helping drive the success of the country’s most trusted television, radio, digital and publishing brands. 

Our content reaches almost every Australian - meaning what we do has real impact. We bring people together, celebrate the big moments, and capture the everyday ones.

Some of our most beloved brands have been part of Australian life for generations, and others - new on the scene - have already found their place firmly in our lives. We’re evolving and we need people like you to bring new ideas, innovate and make your mark.

Join a high-performance team at Nine building INK, our award-winning, in-house Editorial CMS. We operate a brand-new, cloud-first stack with a fully automated, Slack-integrated CI/CD environment. While this is a full-stack role, you will initially focus on crafting world-class front-end features for our journalists and editors.

What You’ll Do

• Develop: Build high-performance, high-availability web interfaces using TypeScript, React, and Node.js.

• Scale: Create auto-scaling microservices and APIs to support huge web and app traffic.

• Evolve: Deep dive into backend (Golang) and DevOps (AWS/K8s) as the role and platform grow.

• Collaborate: Work within an autonomous squad to deliver features from concept to deployment.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience: 3+ years of commercial programming experience.

• FE Mastery: Strong proficiency in ReactJS (or equivalent frameworks) and modern CSS.

• Cloud DNA: A cloud-first mindset with experience in AWS, Docker, or Kubernetes.

• API Savvy: Experience building and consuming microservices.

• Bonus Points: Familiarity with PHP, WordPress, or Gutenberg is highly valued.

• Mindset: A self-starter attitude with a genuine passion for clean code and quality engineering.
