What’s the Opportunity?

As a Software Engineer, you will help strengthen the quality, reliability, and scalability of our Classroom Management product You’ll collaborate closely with Engineering Managers, product teams, and fellow engineers to design and evolve high-performance, sustainable services at a global SaaS scale.

You’ll play a vital role within our Australian team — contributing your perspective to bring customer requirements to reality, contributing to infrastructure, scale and performance aspects of the product and building world class user interfaces. Your work will have a direct impact on a rapidly growing product globally.

We are also embracing AI as an assistive tool in our engineering practices. You’ll be encouraged to use approved AI tools responsibly to support learning, prototyping, implementation, testing, documentation, and design exploration — while maintaining strong engineering judgement, security awareness, and accountability for production quality.

How we support you (Flexibility & Benefits):

We believe that we do our best work when we feel supported in our professional and personal lives.

Hybrid Connection: We enjoy a balance of remote and in-person connection, with 2–3 days per week expected in our Perth office.

Flexible Flow: We offer flexible start and end times to help you coordinate your professional and personal life.

Family Friendly: We provide a parental leave policy to support our team members during important life transitions.

Invested in You: We offer an Employee Share Scheme, a Tech Allowance for your home setup, and additional leave days.

What you’ll do:

• Build and enhance reliable, scalable, and high-performance backend services.
• Work closely with product and design teams to build intuitive, maintainable user interfaces.
• Make well-informed engineering trade-offs, balancing quality, delivery, maintainability, and long-term product health.
• Collaborate closely with your team to improve engineering practices, code quality, testing, and delivery flow.
• Participate in technical discussions and support long-term platform improvements.
• Work with product teams to estimate, plan, and deliver meaningful changes.
• Maintain high standards for observability, testing, automation, and operational health.
• Use approved AI tools responsibly to support implementation, testing, refactoring, documentation, prototyping, and design exploration — while remaining accountable for the quality, security, and maintainability of your work.
• Review, test, and refine AI-assisted output with the same rigour as human-written code, checking for incorrect assumptions, security risks, weak error handling, missing edge cases, and maintainability concerns.
• Help steward the services you build in production, including debugging, incident support, and continuous improvement.

What you’ll bring to the team:

• We know that some people only apply for roles when they meet every single criterion. At Qoria, we value transferable skills and diverse experiences; if you don’t check every box but are passionate about our mission, we still want to hear from you.
• Engineering Experience: Solid hands-on experience with languages such as Go, Java, or TypeScript.
• Adaptability: A desire to work technology-agnostically and learn new languages, frameworks, and tools as needed.
• System Design: Exposure to designing or operating distributed, cloud-native systems.
• Quality Focus: A passion for building clean, maintainable, testable solutions with strong attention to correctness, performance, and reliability.
• Collaborative Mindset: A track record of supporting your team, communicating clearly, sharing context, and helping others succeed.
• Pragmatic Delivery: The ability to clarify uncertainty, make realistic commitments, and work with your team to balance scope, quality, and delivery.
• Responsible AI Mindset: Experience or curiosity in using approved AI tools as an assistive engineering tool — not as a replacement for engineering judgement. You understand that AI-generated output must be reviewed, tested, secured, and aligned with team standards before it becomes production work.
• Ownership: A willingness to understand, debug, maintain, and improve the systems you contribute to, including AI-assisted code.

More Importantly, You’ll...

Deliver tech with purpose: As a Software Engineer here, your work has a real-world impact. You’ll join a mission-driven team where your unique perspective helps us build safer digital spaces for millions of children globally. It feels good to know your code makes a difference.

Belong to a supportive community: Our engineers are more than just technically brilliant — they are mentors, collaborators, and thoughtful problem solvers. We thrive on “we” rather than “I”, creating an environment where it is safe to ask questions, share ideas, challenge assumptions, and grow together.

Grow in a learning-first environment: You’ll tackle complex global scaling challenges within a culture that prioritises sustainable pace and continuous learning. We encourage the thoughtful use of modern engineering tools, including AI, to support learning, exploration, and productivity — while keeping human judgement, accountability, and production quality at the centre.

Use AI responsibly and practically: We see AI as a tool that can help engineers move faster, explore options, reduce repetitive work, and improve learning. We also believe great engineering still depends on domain knowledge, strong review habits, collaboration, security awareness, and ownership. You’ll be encouraged to use AI thoughtfully, share useful practices with teammates, and raise concerns when AI output is misleading, low quality, insecure, or difficult to maintain.

Own your journey: We believe in careers that fit your life, not the other way around. Whether it’s attending conferences, taking on new leadership initiatives, exploring different parts of our stack, or building deeper expertise in responsible AI-assisted engineering, we provide the resources and flexibility to help you build a career you are truly proud of.

Diversity & Inclusion

At Qoria, we value diverse perspectives and believe that a team with a variety of backgrounds and experiences makes our products—and our community—stronger. We encourage people from all walks of life to apply.
