Senior Software Engineer

Ally Assist

You're probably looking through LOTS of job ads, so here's the short version:

  • Salary: $90K - 130K (incl. super) commensurate with experience
  • Design and develop a customer facing web app with a cross-functional team
  • We're bringing together the technology and the right people to reduce waitlists for Allied Health from 18 months > 1 week, and make it easier for families to practice their therapy
  • Get in at the ground floor at a fast-growing healthcare startup that cares deeply about acting with integrity and empowering our users (see our Google reviews).
  • We’re all about ‘filling your cup’ outside of work -- and take a unique approach to personal development and learning opportunities.
  • Combination of remote and office work

About us:

At Ally Assist, we make finding and managing the best therapy assistants (TAs) and Allied Health Professionals (AHPs) simple and human through our easy-to-use online platform and our caring and compassionate team.

We do this because we want to play a role in creating a world where every person and family living with disability can access the products and services they need to be the healthiest, most vibrant version of themselves. To get there, we’re on a mission to create a higher standard of disability care in Australia and beyond.

About the role:

We’re a young, venture-backed startup with an engineering team of 2. We want you to help us shape the future of our company. It’s an exciting role that will enable you to be a custodian of the platform’s useability and quality. You’ll have a direct impact on the decisions that will affect our users' satisfaction and progress.

As a senior software engineer you'll make a real, measurable difference to hundreds of users by proactively addressing performance and reliability issues, as well as implementing usable, performant, and relevant features. You will guide technical decisions as well as help us shape our Agile practices and uplift our capability in terms of Test Driven Development, Clean Code practices and our ability to work collaboratively.

You will measure your success by the outcomes that our team achieves, and not the amount of code you produce. We bring engineers into the conversation early and it's everyone's responsibility to think big-picture and be strategic. You'll work in a cross-functional team in close collaboration with our executive and customer success teams.

We're looking for reliable, self-aware people who are keen to collaborate and grow. The ability to champion our values matters to us; we care about our team and you'll be joining a group of people who want each other to be happy and successful.

About the platform:

We’re building a web application that allows people with a disability and their families to recruit and manage their allied health teams as well as monitor their goal progression. Users log in, enter their details, choose suitable staff to be matched with and review their progress. Healthcare workers apply to work with people with disability, write their notes, communicate with other team members and record their hours.

Right now we’re building things in Angular and React; we use Firebase Functions and Node.js for our API layer. The databases we use are Firestore and PostgresSQL.

Some of our next engineering challenges

  • Building a portal for a new user class to ignite our next stage of growth
  • Splitting up a large Angular app into several smaller React apps
  • Migrating our Authentication provider
  • Migrating from Firebase to Postgres

About You

  • Have experience working as a Software Developer in a product focused team; maybe you’ve worked at a startup or run your own.
  • Have experience with any of Angular, React, Typescript, Node.js. Experience with NoSQL (Firebase or Mongo) and Postgres is a big plus. Experience shipping a mobile app would also be looked favourably upon.
  • Want to understand the problems you are solving, not just the features you are building
  • Value the team progressing towards its goal more than an individuals progress

  • You'll need to be a great communicator and a fluent English speaker.
  • You'll need to be legally eligible to work in Australia and located in Melbourne.

  • You will, in your first week, have delivered a small feature that has an impact on the rest of the wider team
  • You will understand our product roadmap and the vision and gained the support and trust of your peers.
