Who are we?

Loan Market Group is the largest and fastest-growing mortgage brokerage aggregator in Australasia. Proudly family-owned and led, it was founded in 1994 by Sam White and is part of the White Family Group of companies comprising Loan Market, PLAN Australia, Choice Aggregation Services, FAST, Home Now, Nodifi and Ray White. There are 8,000+ mortgage brokers that make up Loan Market Group in Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia who collectively settled over $9.7 billion in its first combined month of operation (March 2021).

We're not a conventional company with a lot of rules and hierarchy, and we don’t intend to become one. We're a big company with a start-up attitude. Our success is based on hiring outstanding people and accepting nothing less than being the best at what we do. Our people describe the atmosphere as open, passionate and results-oriented. The fact that our business grows significantly each year drives us as we are part of something special and the opportunities are endless.

The Role

You will join the team driving the public-facing MyCRM experience for the customers and future customers of our financial professionals. You will be the Principal Engineer with a broad set of responsibilities, working with the Engineering Manager, Product Manager and User Experience Designer to architect, build and deliver our next-generation customer experience.

• We are a newly formed team with a fresh mandate to drive our customer-facing platform forward through all stages of customer engagement from new lead generation to post-deal nurture and growth and all interactions in between.
• As the technical lead, you will be pivotal in the design, problem-solving and steering of technical decisions required for projects worked on by the team
• Leading your peer engineers to plan, implement, test and deliver high-quality solutions.
• This includes significant green field opportunities as we seek out innovative new ways to deliver value to our advisors and their customers
• Maintain a high level of satisfaction, stability and trust with our users by driving throughput on our CI/CD pipeline.
• Work with our cross-functional corporate marketing team to maintain and evolve our advisor websites and critical integrations with our partners

About You

As a geographically distributed team of tech-enthusiasts who value curiosity and pragmatism, we are looking for an engineer who believes in our style of collaborative software development.

• You love to write quality code. We do! And we have a great time doing it together, learning and improving as we go.
• You're happy working at all stages of the software development process, from talking to customers about new ideas, right through to supporting finished features.
• You like to take ownership. Our team is responsible for the solution design, development, test and support of our platform.
• You love to solve problems. Our team isn't handed a list of code changes to make: the team helps to map out a loose plan and then has an agreed period of time to deliver the best outcome they can.
• You love to learn. MyCRM is a rich product with a huge amount of depth; there's always something new to dive into and you’ll need to innovate with complex logic, a user experience customers love, mixed datastores, API design, and more.

Skills & Knowledge

We are more passionate about your attitude and capabilities than existing experience but we value the following skills you bring to us:

• A background in C# and the .NET ecosystem
• Front end web development in frameworks like React or Angular
• Experience with persistence technologies such as SQL Server, PostgreSQL and NoSQL
• Working with cloud services like AWS, Azure or GCP
• CI/CD pipelines, in particular with Github Actions, Azure Devops and/or Octopus
• Exposure to container technologies Docker, Kubernetes; IaC like Terraform; comfortable with bash/CLIs
