About the role

We are seeking a junior Software Engineer to help design, develop and maintain the internal software systems and integrations that support Rivkin’s day-to-day operations. The role reports to the Head of IT Department and works closely with non-technical stakeholders across the business.

• Integrate Rivkin’s internal solutions with external platforms and APIs, including financial-services providers, Microsoft 365, Notion, ActiveCampaign, Twilio and Cloudflare.
• Maintain, document and analyse existing systems; identify technology limitations and deficiencies; design and implement replacements or remediations.
• Produce and maintain technical documentation and operational procedures so that systems remain supportable as the team grows.

Essential criteria

• Minimum 1 year of professional software development and systems integration experience (post-qualification).
• Demonstrated full-stack engineering capability across JavaScript / TypeScript, Python, Bash and SQL.
• Practical experience integrating third-party APIs and SaaS platforms.
• Proven ability to take ambiguous business requirements from non-technical stakeholders and deliver complete, documented software solutions end-to-end.
• Experience operating production systems on cloud / VPS infrastructure (including Git / GitHub, deployment pipelines, Cloudflare or equivalent).
• Strong written and spoken English communication skills.

Desirable criteria

• Tertiary qualifications in computer science, software engineering, information systems or a related discipline (Master’s preferred).

• Experience producing technical documentation for non-technical audiences.

What we offer

• Permanent, full-time role with a stable, established Australian financial-services firm.
