Job Description
The safety and wellbeing of our employees and potential employees are important to us. Our external candidates will interview via Zoom. Not only do we wish to protect the health and safety of our people, we want to assure candidates that there is no expectation from REA to meet face-to-face. A virtual interview will not adversely impact your application. If you have any questions or concerns, this can be discussed through the screening process.
We're REA
An Australian start-up success story we're quietly proud of.
From a garage in Melbourne to the global stage is an achievement we're humbled by. Our idea to put pictures of houses on the internet has blossomed since 1995, and we now have businesses across Australia, Asia, India and North America.
Our purpose is to change the way the world experiences property. No matter where you're at on your property journey, we're here to help on every step - whether that's buying, selling, renting or renovating.
Some of our brands include realestate.com.au, realcommercial.com.au, spacely.com.au, Flatmates.com.au, Proptrack.com, Smartline.com.au and Mortgage Choice.
We’re proud to have been named one of Australia’s Best Workplaces for 2021. This recognition is a great proof point of our unique and special culture. A culture that is driven by our people, our values, and our commitment to making a difference in the community.
What we’re doing
With us, you’ll experience Belonging. With openings across various teams in the business, you're spoilt for choice! Whether it be working on realestate.com.au, platforms for our valued Customers, our financial services products, or services for property developers, no two days will ever be the same. Our teams are also flexible when it comes to remote working options, so don't let location hinder you!
What you'll learn:
Java, Scala, Ruby, ReactJs, JavaScript … the list goes on and on…
AWS - all our developers create, support, and monitor infrastructure using Amazon Web Services. There's loads of internal support so don't be afraid if this is new.
Docker - all our apps are tested and deployed using Docker. Just like with AWS there's heaps of support and internal training.
Work in an agile team (where we ARE agile). We constantly learn together, mentor each other and striving to do things better, iteratively
DevOps – we are responsible for delivery into production and support once it is there. You will be using AWS to deploy to the cloud
What we're after:
Someone who has some experience - At least 3 years experience in a mainstream programming language (e.g. Ruby, Java, Scala, JavaScript, Node, React)
Experience developing and deploying software
Knowledge in building full stack web products using open source and cloud technologies
Curiosity for technology and the ability to balance the trade-offs between engineering and business outcomes
A desire to learn new things and solve problems
Someone who can adapt and thrive in an evolving environment with a company/team first approach
Learning agility alongside existing and proven experience
But we don’t just look for someone based on their skills and expertise. It’s our connection, acceptance and genuine care for each other that makes REA a great place to work. That means you also need to be:
Savvy minded and have the ability to think a little left of field / outside the box
A strong and creative communicator
Friendly, approachable and have good relationship management skills
An avid supporter of our fully inclusive culture - we celebrate difference and ensure that everyone belongs
The REA experience
The physical, mental, emotional and financial health of our people is something we’ll never stop caring about. This is a place to learn and grow. We’re committed to your development – both professionally and personally. Your experience with us is something we take seriously.
We offer:

Oh, and by the way:
At REA we value diversity and inclusion in all forms. Gender, religion, ethnicity, LBTGIQ+, neurodiversity and so much more. Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalized folks tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you've got the must-haves, dedication and enthusiasm to learn but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.
If you like the sound of us, then we think you should apply today. We're proud to be Circle Back Initiative Employer and we commit to respond to every applicant. While we're looking at your application, and preparing to come back to you with an update, why not get to know us a bit more through our various social channels?
