About DUAL

Driven by a vision to be the world’s best underwriting business, DUAL has always taken a different approach to our industry peers.

Since our business was founded in 2004, we have had a strong entrepreneurial spirit that runs through every part of our business. We empower our people to develop products, services and processes that deliver consistently for our partners. As a company we’re known in the industry as a group dedicated to giving back to the community by partnering with charitable groups and actively participating in fundraising events. Whatever you are looking for in a career, we want to help you do more.

Our philosophy is simple: we genuinely put people first and want our people to be the healthiest and happiest they can be, at work and at home. We aim to attract and retain the best talent, and support them to achieve their aspirations. It’s how we grow our business and keep one step ahead of our competitors.

About the role

We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer (Angular) to join our team and play a key role in designing, building, and enhancing our custom application, WebRater. You’ll collaborate closely with Business Analysts and fellow engineers to translate business requirements into robust, scalable, and secure solutions, and deliver high-quality outcomes in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.

Key responsibilities

  • Design and develop responsive, high-performance front-end features in WebRater using Angular, and participate in technical design discussions with the broader engineering team.
  • Collaborate with Business Analysts and other engineers to translate business requirements into robust, scalable, and secure front-end solutions.
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve front-end defects and production issues
  • Ensure code quality through reviews, automated testing, and adherence to agreed engineering standards and best practices.
  • Optimise the WebRater front end for performance, usability, accessibility, and maintainability across browsers and devices.
  • Support wider team by sharing knowledge, providing constructive feedback, and contributing to continuous improvement of our practices.

About you

You thrive in a lean, fast‑paced environment where high‑quality delivery matters. You bring strong hands‑on experience with Angular, having built and supported complex, user‑facing applications, and have a solid grasp of front‑end fundamentals including HTML, CSS, component‑driven design, and integrating with Azure‑hosted web services.

Alongside this, you have strong experience with C# / .NET and GitHub/Git, and are comfortable working across the full development lifecycle. You bring working knowledge of CI/CD and DevOps practices, confident SQL skills, and familiarity with Azure environments and services (such as Azure Data Factory).

You’re comfortable collaborating closely with backend and data engineers, communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, and are a pragmatic problem‑solver who stays calm under pressure while balancing speed and quality in a small, high‑impact team.

What you might not expect…

At DUAL we value work/life balance, health and wellbeing, family and giving back, which is why our benefits are reflective of this. We provide employees with a competitive salary and benefits, which will be flexible and dependent on the successful candidate’s individual skills and experience.

 

Our culture: people first

Our core values dictate how we live and work. We’re a group with independence and people at its heart and we’re a home for talent with a unique culture: the biggest small company in the world.

The focus on being a people-first business has always been at the very heart of the group; Our vision was to create an independent business with a unique culture and one that would survive and thrive as a business controlled by the people working for it. And finding the most talented and entrepreneurial people to join the group has been and will continue to be key.

EEO Statement

Help us think differently. As a business we’re on a journey to build an inclusive workplace where our people feel welcome to bring their whole and true self to work, where differences are accepted and where our words and actions are inclusive. Together we are learning, sharing stories, and achieving change.

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.
