About Us
The future of the world is
increasingly digital and connected however many Australians suffer from
frustratingly slow internet.
At Gigacomm, we believe in the
power of connectivity to improve the world we live in. We build and operate an
independent network which uses the latest technology to provide reliable,
ultra-fast internet to Australian homes and businesses up to 2GB/sec.
We are committed to building a
diverse and inclusive team who bring different perspectives, that help best
represent the customer and communities we serve, and who contribute to building
a rewarding culture.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer at
Gigacomm, you will design and build the back-end services that connect our
wholesale partners to our internal systems. Working primarily in Python on GCP
and GKE, you will build APIs, microservices, and integrations that underpin
Gigacomm’s wholesale platform.
You will report to the Software
Engineering Manager and work as part of the Platform Development team alongside
engineers, product managers, and the Platform Engineering team. You will
contribute to migrating our systems onto a modern Python and GCP stack, and
help establish the engineering practices and automation that let a small team
deliver reliably at pace.
What You’ll Do
- Design and build secure, scalable APIs and microservices in
Python on GCP and GKE
- Build integrations that connect GigaComm’s systems and
partners, automating manual processes
- Contribute to platform modernisation — migrating existing
systems onto a modern Python and GCP stack
- Build and maintain automated testing practices including
unit, integration, contract and system-level testing
- Deploy, monitor and operate software systems including
CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
- Work directly with stakeholders and product managers to
define and deliver requirements
- Use agentic coding tools (e.g. Claude Code, Codex) as a
core part of how you build
- Mentor others and help raise the bar across the team
What You’ll Bring
- 5+ years’ experience as a software developer with a strong
back-end focus
- Strong, production-grade Python experience
- Degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science or a
related field
- Hands-on experience running containerised workloads on
Kubernetes, ideally with GCP and GKE,
- Experience designing and building APIs, microservices and
system integrations
- Demonstrable experience with agentic coding tools (e.g.
Claude Code, Codex) and AI-assisted workflows
- Experience with automated CI/CD pipelines, particularly in
GitHub
- Strong automated testing experience across unit,
integration, API, contract and system-level testing
- Modern cloud-based database design skills
- Excellent communication and problem-solving skills
Preferred:
- Experience in the telecommunications industry
- Strong understanding of networking and internet
technologies
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform)
- Experience taking systems through a platform migration or
re-platform
Why Gigacomm?
