Founded in Australia, today we're a team of over 300 people living and working around the world. We're rapidly expanding throughout North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. We’re a $50m revenue (and growing) organisation, having recently completed our Series C funding round, backed by leading investors such as Airtree. Now is an exciting time to join the team as we continue to make the experience of debt resolution smoother, and more human.
Receeve is a product and engineering team within InDebted, originally a standalone company and now a core part of our platform. The team has been together for years, built the original Receeve product from the ground up, and are known for strong engineering standards and close working relationships.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Sydney to join this tight-knit, globally distributed team (Australia, Mexico, Pakistan). You’ll focus on backend and infrastructure with a full-stack awareness, acting as a trusted lieutenant to Luis, Engineering Manager.
What You'll Work on
- You’ll help evolve Receeve’s architecture and infrastructure as part of InDebted’s broader platform, with a particular focus on data, connectivity and cloud-native services.
You will:
- Own and lead infrastructure conversations and direction for the Receeve team.
- Work on the data lake link and related integrations with the Connect and wider InDebted teams.
- Build and maintain cloud-native services in TypeScript (Node.js) on AWS.
- Design and implement solutions using CloudFormation, Lambda, DynamoDB, OpenSearch and common AWS services.
- Create clear, usable documentation that supports a distributed, senior team.
- Support and guide other engineers, helping to grow the team’s capability and technical direction.
- This role is a natural pathway towards Staff Engineer for someone who enjoys technical leadership as much as hands-on building.
What Success Looks Like
- You’re trusted to work independently and flexibly across time zones.
- You lead infrastructure direction, rather than simply implementing tickets.
- The data lake link and related integrations are reliable, well-understood and documented.
- The team depends on you for clarity, documentation and technical guidance.
- You’re fully integrated into the Receeve collective and positively influencing how the team works.
What You Bring
- Deep experience with cloud-native infrastructure on AWS.
- Strong skills in TypeScript (Node.js) - most of the codebase is TypeScript.
- Very strong experience with Microservices and Event Drive Architecture and working with data platforms / data lakes.
- Experience using CloudFormation, Lambda and distributed AWS services such as DynamoDB and OpenSearch.
- Ability to work independently in a distributed team, coordinating across time zones.
- Clear written and verbal communication; you value documentation and structure.
The Receeve Team
- Has worked together for a long time and values trust, seniority and craftsmanship.
- Is fully full-stack and senior, spread across Mexico, Pakistan and Australia.
- Wants someone who will be part of the collective, not just a solo contributor.
- You’ll also interact with the wider InDebted engineering function, particularly the Connect and Automate teams.
Why This Role
- Step into a trusted lieutenant position with clear growth towards Staff Engineer.
- Join a highly senior, close-knit team with strong engineering foundations.
- Work on complex infrastructure, data and integration problems that have real business impact.
- Hybrid working in Sydney with meaningful autonomy and flexibility.
