A BIT ABOUT US
Meet Calven. Our technology platform makes the future of work, work for everyone! The world has changed rapidly, and so have our expectations for when, where, and how we want to work. As individuals, don’t we all desire more flexibility, work-life balance, and a great experience, no matter where we’re working? Calven is enabling that by shaping a better experience for employees, team leaders, and the organisation. We help by:

  • Making hybrid work (scheduling, planning, and managing)
  • Elevating employee experience (no matter where or when we work)
  • Optimising the office (for when we do come in)

THE TEAM
At Calven, you’ll be joining a global team at the leading edge of hybrid work technology. We work hard, we care a lot about what we do and we’re constantly learning and innovating to deliver the best solutions to our customers. You’ll be joining an exciting growth stage of our business, with plenty of opportunities to share your ideas, grow and develop your skills, and make a real impact. We move at pace, with care and intention, and always with our customers in mind. You’ll be part of helping us build a world-class product that’s shaping the future of work - pretty cool hey?!

THE OPPORTUNITY
As Platform Engineer, you will play an instrumental role in helping shape our product features. Reporting to the Senior Software Engineer and working closely with our mobile and web teams you will help build backend software to support feature development for Calven's products. As part of our growing Platform team, you'll work collaboratively with QA and Cloud Infrastructure and alongside Product Management and Design teams to focus on the software development of integration and data to support and expand the platform services.

Please note - this is an Australian-based remote role with occasional travel to our head office in Sydney Australia.

THE TECH STACK
We build the Calven platform primarily in Typescript using the NestJS framework and deploy it in containers in GCP. We also use Python for ETL to move data into our analytics databases, which drive customer-facing and internal analytics. We build our frontends in React for the web and Flutter for mobile apps. There is also room for tools written in Golang to support CI/CD and operations. Calven uses GitHub for code management and we have a CI/CD pipeline for deployment. In addition, we make extensive use of Terraform and strive to build infrastructure in code and version-control everything.
