Senior GoLang Engineer in a nut shell: 

• Work on titles consumed by millions of Australians
• Awesome location, motivated team
• Brand new, world-leading tech stack

At Nine, we're reinventing how the country consumes news, across our digital web and mobile app properties such as the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age & The Australian Financial Review.

Our entirely cloud-first tech stack was built from the ground up around two years ago, with a fully automated, Slack integrated CI/CD DevOps environment and we need more engineers to take it to the next level.

Are you looking for a driven, diverse and collaborative work environment? Would you like to work with amazingly talented colleagues in a business with the scale of a major media company? We'd love to talk with you, so apply today.

This is a permanent full time role based in Sydney.

What you'll be doing

We're looking for someone who can help us create and improve APIs that support Ink, the in-house platform our newsrooms of award-winning journalists use every day.

• Creating auto-scaling microservices & APIs, utilising Golang, gRPC, and GraphQL
• Getting up to speed (or bringing others along!) building event driven APIs, utilising Kafka
• Deploying releases to test and production Kubernetes environments (as often as we like!)
• Working alongside product and peers, finding simple solutions to complex problems
• Putting a lot of focus on code review and peer testing
• Working in small autonomous Agile squads
• Up-skilling in DevOps and other areas of our stack

Why we like working here

• Flexible hours and extended parental leave policy
• Focus on career development through level up sessions, access to workshops, sponsored conference attendance, access to online material
• Hackathons and themed showcases
• Social Slack channels like #camping, #tabletop-gaming, #dad-jokes

Media is a fast-changing environment that provides interesting engineering challenges working at scale. Don't miss the opportunity to be a part of this team.

We're looking for a person

• With strong, proven engineering skills
• With a real passion for mentoring (this one is a must!)
• With excellent analytical skills
• That is self-starting, and has a desire to learn
• Who is testing and quality focused
• Who will help guide the technical direction of our authoring applications

Above all else, we really like working with people who have a strong, positive learning attitude. So if this role sounds good, but you feel you might need to catch up on some skills, we'd still love for you to apply. Skills can be learned, attitude is everything.
