About this role

The Organisation

We’re a real estate tech startup that’s reinventing the way property is transacted in Australia.

• Working closely with the product, marketing, and engineering teams to define, refine, test, and deliver new solutions
• Communicate progress and seek guidance on technical issues from senior engineers
• Engage in cod...
