Job Description

The Opportunity:

Flywire is reimagining how software is built. We are looking for an early-career Software Engineer I with rock-solid Computer Science fundamentals to join our StudyLink team.

As a leading cloud-based admissions solution used by top universities across Australia and globally, StudyLink accelerates the application process for institutions, agents, and students. By combining our admissions platform with Flywire’s global payments technology, we streamline the entire student journey from recruitment and enrollment to tuition payments and agent commissions. Our team is driven by a passion to enable people everywhere to achieve their educational goals by building technology that improves choice and access.

You will join a fast-paced team dedicated to expanding our platform’s capabilities, speed, and scalability. As an early-career engineer at Flywire, you won't be stuck writing mundane boilerplate. Instead, you will plug directly into our deeply integrated AI ecosystem, operating as an AI-augmented developer from day one. We provide hands-on, daily access to premium enterprise AI tools like Claude Code, offering you a rare opportunity to accelerate your technical growth, architectural understanding, and coding velocity far beyond what is typical for an entry-level role.

With the AI handling the heavy lifting, your focus elevates to core software craftsmanship. You will serve as the critical thinker and safety rail: learning to validate data structures, ensuring strict FinTech security compliance, tuning database performance, and guiding AI outputs into production-ready, enterprise-grade software.

What You’ll Do:

• AI-Driven Development: Utilise AI development tools to read, analyse, refactor, and generate clean, secure, and testable code, accelerating your understanding of complex system interdependencies.
• Critical Evaluation: Collaborate with senior engineers to evaluate AI-generated solutions and peer code against real-world performance, edge cases, and object-oriented design best practices.
• Global Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams across the globe including senior architects, product, SRE, and security to ensure new features meet strict FinTech security and scaling requirements.
• Client Implementation & Support: Assist in the technical implementation of our product for new and existing clients, helping to resolve technical requests in partnership with our application support teams.
• Feature Enhancement: Assist in identifying, designing, and building product enhancements to streamline client workflows and ensure the best possible application responsiveness.
• Lifecycle Participation: Participate in continuous improvement across the development lifecycle, following standard procedures to analyse technical situations and deliver reliable solutions.

Qualifications

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong CS Fundamentals: Solid understanding of object-oriented programming (eg. Java), data structures, system architecture, and relational database design (PostgreSQL).
• AI Aptitude: Comfortable using LLMs and AI coding assistants (e.g., Claude Code) to navigate, translate, and transform complex codebases.
• Critical Code Evaluation: The engineering discipline to review AI outputs for logic flaws, security vulnerabilities, memory management issues, and scalability.
• Degree/Experience: Bachelor's in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical experience (0–2 years).
• Communication: Outstanding verbal and written communication skills and the ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams including product, support, and security.
• Language: Fluent in English, as it is the company’s working language.
• Bonus Experience: Experience in FinTech, EdTech, or the education and payment industry will be appreciated.

Technologies We Use:

• Claude Code
• Python, CFML (Lucee)
• Java
• Django, Flask
• React
• Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL, Amazon Aurora
• JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3

How to Apply

If you’re ready to bring your technical expertise to a supportive team in a truly unique business, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now. Join us!Tanda is seeking an ambitious software engineer with hands-on experience building products to join our Product Team at an Intermediate level. In the last 2 years Tanda has released two new Software Products - Payroll and HR and there’s plans to launch and grow many more. The product team powers our Workforce Management, HR and Payroll products and deploys 30+ changes per day. We have been strongly encouraging our team to adopt AI in the areas it makes sense to - we want to be on the forefront of these new tools and new ways of working.

Tanda values moving fast, and our interview process reflects that. It’s two steps - a 30min phone call with the Head of Engineering, and then an in office pair programming session with the hiring manager and another member of the team.

The traits we value at all levels are:

• Curiosity - you like to learn, and don’t make the same mistakes twice.
• Initiative - within reason, you are self-driven and always looking to make an impact. The more senior you get, the more we expect you to be manager of one.
• Problem solving - you are methodical in your approach to breaking apart problems and figuring out how to solve them in the best way possible under the constraints you face.

Our platform is built using Ruby on Rails and we also use Javascript, PostgreSQL, AWS, and Docker in our stack. If you haven’t used Ruby on Rails before - that’s ok, experience with a comparable web framework to Rails (Laravel, Django) is a good fit. We care more about the person than specific skills. Training and development will be provided following commencement. As Tanda scales up rapidly, there are plenty of exciting challenges for developers to take on, with real outcomes and benefits for both yourself and the business.

The scale you will be working with:

• Two regions - APAC & Europe
• Our APAC workload is consistently running at ~40,000 RPM
• Hundreds of thousands of background jobs processed per day
• Some of Australia’s largest employers use our product - Domino’s, GYG, Best & Less, and Starbucks are just a few of the companies we work with

What Success Looks Like

Within your first year, you'll:

• Build knowledge about our codebase and business domain
• Be involved in building (and maybe even lead) several features for our products - at the start you’ll have support as you learn the code base, and after a year we expect you to be solving problems more autonomously without as much guidance.
• Participate in your first on-call rotation
• Grow the scope of what you work on rapidly
• Be a helpful sounding board for the team - you’re able to debate different approaches, trade offs and help the team come to good solutions.

About You

You do not need a university degree for this role - we value real world impact and projects over certificates.

As an Intermediate Engineer, we don’t expect you to have any relevant skills in our stack when you first start (though it is a bonus). What we do expect is you are excited to learn, willing to be challenged in your work, and open to feedback so you can improve. You enjoy problem solving & have an innate sense of curiosity.

As a Senior Engineer, we do expect you have had hands on experience building with Ruby on Rails. We also expect you to be aware of common Rails performance problems & how to resolve them. As a Senior, you understand there is nuance, and are not dogmatic & maintain flexibility in your beliefs. You have a high bar & help others to meet it.

You can expect to have a lot of ownership over your work. We enjoy working with curious people who take initiative and demand a high bar for themselves and the team they work with.

Why Apply?

See your impact

We’re a small engineering team, but our product is global. You can personally have a huge impact on our customers’ productivity.

We’re not always sprinting

Our development cycle uses the Shape Up framework. Unlike a lot of “agile” frameworks - we have dedicated ‘cool-down’ time to breathe; using it to fix bugs, refactor, focus on professional development, and try out new technical possibilities.

Experience amazing opportunities

We recognise when people are exceptional, and as a scale-up, we’re flexible enough to give people new opportunities to excel, both in existing teams and in new teams/roles.

Solve deep and interesting problems

• Workforce management is an innovative industry, and creative solutions are a necessity to thrive.
