🎓 Internship📈 Mid Level🇦🇺 Melbourne, Australia📅 Jan 22, 2026
Apply for this position

About us

We’re Littlepay - a growing fintech headquartered in Melbourne with operations in the UK, EU, LATAM, USA, and Australia. Our payments platform enables our customers to pay for public transport using any payment card, mobile wallet, or wearable device. Processing over USD 1 billion a year in 19 countries and continuing to expand globally, we’re proud to move more people through better payment experiences.

About the opportunity

You’ll join a Product Engineering team working on Littlepay’s high‑performance transaction processing systems.

At the moment, this role is focused on:

  • Designing, building, maintaining and operating features across our omni-channel payments platform.
  • Collaborating closely with engineers, product managers, and business analysts to turn problems into safe, reliable releases.
  • Owning outcomes end-to-end: understanding the problem, shaping the solution, shipping it safely, and improving it based on what we learn in production.

What you will do in this role

The specific focus of the role will evolve as we scale, but you can expect to:

  • Design, build, test, and operate backend services and APIs.
  • Work within clear domain boundaries and communicate design trade-offs.
  • Deliver iteratively with high quality standards, including code reviews, testing, and documentation.
  • Improve reliability and observability (logging, metrics, tracing), and contribute to incident response and service ownership.
  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to clarify requirements, align on scope, and deliver customer value.
  • Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement, constructive feedback, and shared learning.

You are likely a match if you

  • Have 3+ years of software engineering experience, with strong backend fundamentals.
  • Have experience building and operating Java services in production (Spring is a plus).
  • Understand microservice and event-driven patterns, including when to use them and the trade-offs they introduce.
  • Can troubleshoot issues in distributed systems using a structured approach.
  • Communicate clearly and collaborate well with people across different roles.

Nice to have:

  • Experience with React and TypeScript.
  • Familiarity with AWS managed services.
  • Experience with security practices, cryptography, authentication and authorisation systems.

Technology you will work with

From a technology standpoint, you will work with tools such as:

  • Java, Spring, Go, and Node.js
  • AWS (ECS, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, PostgreSQL, SQS, SAM, CloudFormation, S3, API Gateway)
  • Open source tooling and modern engineering practices

Why join us?

  • Innovative Environment: Engage in the development of industry-leading products within the transit space, solving everyday challenges and enhancing the customer experience through technology.
  • Professional Growth: Opportunities for continuous learning and career advancement.
  • Collaborative Culture: A supportive team that values collaboration, innovation, and excellence.
  • Impactful Work: Play a key role in improving the transit and mobility experience for millions of users.
  • Collaborative Workspace: Work in a high-trust environment with access to cloud collaboration tools such as Notion, Slack, Miro, Google Workspace, and Jira, which enables us to solve problems together efficiently.

Benefits

We love to look after our people. At Littlepay, you'll be part of an inclusive and diverse team that celebrates the differences and unique gifts we each bring to work.

You’ll have access to:

  • Paid professional development (including conferences, courses, learning subscriptions, etc.)
  • Harrison Assessments - our talent management provider that facilitates continuous professional development
  • A company-wide paid day off
  • A variety of flexible leave options
  • Our flexible public holiday program
  • Flexible (hybrid) working conditions
  • Superannuation contributions on all paid parental leave payments
  • Our generous employee referral program
  • Wellbeing support- including a free School of Life subscription for all employees, and counselling via the School of Life (UK) or our EAP programs (Australia)
  • Mid-year, quarterly, and end-of-year corporate and team events and workshops
  • Short-term remote working arrangements

In-Office Expectations

At Littlepay, we believe great work happens when we solve problems, together. We see in-person collaboration as an important way to build connections, share ideas, and support each other meaningfully.

For those assigned to an office location, we generally expect a minimum two-day presence in the office each week. This may vary depending on your role, team, and location. For example, our team in Luxembourg works 4 days from the office, whereas our AU and UK teams currently work a minimum of 2 days onsite in our Melbourne/London offices. Some positions might require more frequent office attendance to support cross-functional collaboration, customer engagement, or specific team workflows. Your hiring manager will provide details relevant to your role.

We aim to strike a healthy balance between in-person connection and flexibility, while staying connected to deliver with speed and agility as we continue to scale, ensuring our ways of working support both our people and our shared ambition to move more people through better payment experiences.

Our Recruitment Process

If you’re shortlisted for the role, you’ll first have a chat with our Talent team, who will set up an interview if everything aligns. A short workplace preferences questionnaire will also be sent to help us learn more about the way you prefer to work. After the first interview, you’ll receive a take-home challenge to be completed, which will be followed by an in-person interview at our office.

If you have any questions regarding the recruitment process or if you require any accommodations for any stage in the interview process, please don’t hesitate to let us know. Additionally, if you don’t meet all of the criteria (we know that some underrepresented groups tend to avoid applying if they don’t), please still apply. We really enjoy meeting people who might bring a fresh perspective on a problem we need to solve!

Ultimately, being part of our small but mighty team means you'll have the opportunity to learn about micropayments, and have a hand in the provision of services that impact millions of people. You’ll help us deliver on our revolutionary product roadmap and help scale our platform as we continue to expand across the globe.

If this opportunity interests you, hit apply! We look forward to learning about you.
