- Seek out mentorship to grow your own experience, and show clear passion for growing technical expertise within the product domain.
- Contribute to conversations grounded in organisational strategy and principles with teammates when appropriate.
- Use AI tools to support development activities — code generation, testing, debugging, and optimisation — and apply them to automate repetitive tasks and improve quality.
- Maintain awareness of emerging AI trends and best practices to inform continuous learning.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field.
- 0–2 years of professional experience.
- Demonstrated knowledge of at least one programming language.
- General understanding of software design principles and development tools.
- Working knowledge of code versioning tools such as Git.
- Evidence of coachability: takes feedback well, acts on it, and asks for help early.
- Ability to learn quickly and work in a collaborative team environment.
- Good written and verbal communication skills, including with cross-functional teams.
- Based in Melbourne and able to work from the Melbourne office three days per week.
Desired
- Prior internship, placement, or early professional experience in a software engineering environment.
- Experience with web application development.
- Familiarity with agile or scrum methodologies and DevOps tooling.
