We're REA
 
With bold and ambitious goals, REA Group  is changing the way the world experiences property. No matter where you're at on your property journey, we're here to help with every step - whether that's finding or financing your next home.
Our people are the key to our success. At the heart of everything we do, is a thriving culture centred around high performance and care. We are purpose driven and collaborative, which drives innovation and our ability to make a real impact. As such, we’re proud to have been named in Australia’s “Top 5” Best Workplaces two years in a row, as well as being recognised as a Best Workplace for Women.

The role

We’re REA Group and we’re looking for Senior Software Engineers who want to make an impact, fast. If you thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and love tackling complex technical challenges, this is the role for you.

You’ll work alongside talented teams of Engineers, Product Managers and Designers turning big ideas into real-world, high-impact solutions. Every line of code you write will contribute to our bold technical vision, helping transform the way the world experiences property.

This is more than just a role; it’s your opportunity to innovate, influence, and see your work make a difference at scale.

What the role is all about

  • Collaborate with product, design, and engineering peers to translate big ideas into scalable, maintainable solutions.
  • Write, test, and document high-quality code across the stack (frontend, backend, and data systems).
  • Lead epics and contribute to initiatives with a strategic focus.
  • Apply modern engineering practices – functional programming, test-driven development, microservices, and continuous delivery.
  • Own technical delivery from design to deployment, including operational support (“you build it, you run it”).
  • Drive improvements to our products, features, and systems while reducing technical debt.
  • Mentor and coach others, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.
  • Collaborate with engineers across REA, influencing technical direction and aligning with broader architecture.

Who we’re looking for

  • Strong experience in software development using languages such as Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Scala or Kotlin (proficiency in one or more).
  • Experience across the stack – from frontend through backend systems to data pipelines.
  • Proven ability to build high-performance, scalable experiences and APIs for large user bases.
  • Capability to lead the delivery of product features through implementation, deployment, and ongoing support.
  • Familiarity with Docker, Git, GCP, AWS, and CI/CD pipelines
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work across different technology domains
  • Knowledge of software engineering best practices, including automated testing
  • Effective communication skills and ability to work within a collaborative team environment
  • Experience mentoring and uplifting team capabilities
  • Work productively in a fast paced and agile environment.

 The REA experience

The physical, mental, emotional and financial health of our people is something we’ll never stop caring about. This is a place to learn and grow.

Some of our Perks & Benefits include: 

  • A hybrid and flexible approach to working
  • Flexible leave options including, birthday leave and purchase additional leave
  • Flexible parental leave offering for primary and secondary carers
  • Our Because We Care program offers employees volunteering leave, community grants, matched payroll giving and our Community Café donates 100% of revenue to charity
  • Hackdays so you can bring your big ideas to life  

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion  

We are committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity, equity and inclusion. We believe teams with diverse ideas and experiences are more creative, more effective and fuel disruptive thinking. If you've got the skills, dedication and enthusiasm to learn but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch.

What you need to know about the Melbourne Tech Scene

Home to 650 biotech companies, 10 major research institutes and nine universities, Melbourne is among one of the top cities for biotech. In fact, some of the greatest medical advancements were conceptualized and developed here, including Symex Lab's "lab-on-a-chip" solution that monitors hormones to predict ovulation for conception, and Denteric's vaccine for periodontal gum disease. Yet, the thousands of people working in the city's healthtech sector are just getting started, to say nothing of the tech advancements across all other sectors.
