Description For Software Engineer

EQL is revolutionizing the high-demand retail space by building the world's first and fairest launch platform for passionate fans and retailers. The company tackles the common problems in high-intensity retail moments - site crashes, bot attacks, and poor customer experiences - especially during launches of coveted items like limited sneakers, handbags, and event tickets.

As a Software Engineer on the Fans team, you'll be working with cutting-edge technologies including TypeScript, Node.js, GraphQL, and AWS serverless architecture to build robust systems that can handle intense traffic spikes while ensuring fair access for real fans. The role combines both backend infrastructure and frontend development, making it an exciting opportunity for engineers who enjoy full-stack development.

The company offers a flexible, inclusive work environment where diversity is celebrated, and everyone can bring their whole selves to work. They provide competitive compensation, equity, generous time off, and a pet-friendly workplace. The team culture emphasizes collaboration, psychological safety, and continuous learning through engineering guilds and knowledge sharing.

This is an ideal role for a mid-level engineer with a few years of commercial experience who is passionate about solving complex problems, enjoys working in a fast-paced startup environment, and wants to make a real impact on how fans interact with their favorite brands. The position is based in Melbourne, Australia, with a hybrid work arrangement.
