You'll be technically rigorous and highly autonomous, with a high bar for what you ship and a strong point of view on how to build it.\nYou'll work within a cross-functional squad, partnering closely with your Tech Lead, Product Manager, and shared Designer. AI tools such as Claude Code and Cursor are core to how the team builds, and you're expected to use them to ship faster and at higher quality. Deep fundamentals still matter just as much: architecture, debugging, security, system thinking because those are what let you direct AI effectively and catch where it gets things wrong.\nThis is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives working autonomously and wants to help shape how a fast-growing LegalTech company builds. You'll be equally comfortable discussing architecture trade-offs, code quality, and the impact your work has on the product and the customer.\nWhat We're Looking For\nMust haves:Deep expertise in full-stack software architecture, system design, data modelling, debugging, and security - these fundamentals are non-negotiable.\nStrong proficiency in React + TypeScript and strong proficiency in Ruby on Rails or Python.\nYou use Claude Code, Cursor, or equivalent agentic tools as your primary development workflow, and can point to meaningfully higher output velocity as a result.\nAbility to critically assess AI-generated code for correctness, security, performance, and long-term maintainability. You know when to push back, refactor, or start over - and you do.\nSolid understanding of database design and optimisation (PostgreSQL, MongoDB) including indexing, query optimisation, and data modelling.\nAbility to take ownership, operate with minimal direction, and drive outcomes end-to-end, with a bias toward impact over activity.\nNice to haves:Experience with GraphQL, gRPC, or real-time communication protocols (WebSockets).\nExperience in multi-tenant, data-heavy SaaS applications.\nFamiliarity with Marketing Tech, CRM-like systems, or workflow automation products.\nKnowledge of DevOps practices, Infrastructure as Code, or cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure).\nExperience in LegalTech or Professional Services tech.\nExperience designing or orchestrating multi-agent systems - decomposing work across autonomous agents and managing inter-agent communication.\nWhat Success Looks Like:\nYou ship features at significantly higher velocity than traditional engineering workflows, and the quality and reliability of what you ship is high. \nAI agents and workflows you build are adopted by the squad, multiplying the team’s collective output. \nArchitectural and trade-off decisions are yours and they’re sound: AI handles implementation; you own the judgment. \nAI-generated code in the codebase passes the same bar as hand-written code for correctness, security, and long-term maintainability. \nYou help define what AI-first engineering looks like at Nexl, and other engineers want to learn from your workflow. \nWhat You’ll Own & Do\nDesign and ship features end-to-end across React/TypeScript and Ruby on Rails or Python - from problem definition through architecture, implementation, testing, and release. You own the outcome, not just the ticket.\nUse Claude Code, Cursor, and similar agentic tools as a genuine development partner - structuring problems for AI execution, validating output, and building the shared AI workflows that make the whole squad faster, not just your own.\nOwn system design, data modelling, security, and technical debt - the trade-off calls that shape long-term platform health.\nSet and hold a high bar for code quality, including AI-generated code - reviewing for correctness, security, performance, and long-term maintainability, not just whether it runs.\nOwn the reliability and scalability of what you ship - better observability, cleaner architecture, fewer production incidents over time.\nWork closely with your Tech Lead, Product Manager, and Design across every initiative - bringing technical depth and a clear point of view on what to build and how.\nHelp the engineers around you raise their AI game - share what works (tools, prompting approaches, workflows) and make the whole team faster, not just yourself.\nLife at Nexl\nHybrid working. You'll be in our Sydney hub 1-2 days a week for collaboration.\nWork from anywhere. Spend up to four weeks a year working remotely from a location of your choice.\nBirthday leave. Take a paid \"Nexl Day\" during the week of your birthday.\nHigh growth. A scaling environment with autonomy, ownership, and visible impact.\nESOP. Employee stock options so you share in the upside.\nParental leave. Paid leave to support you and your family as it grows.\nTransparent by default. Fortnightly all-hands with strategy, metrics, wins, and learnings.\nPurposeful connection. A jam-packed social scene with weekly catered lunch, quarterly socials, team off-sites, and events throughout the year to bring everyone together.\nTools & tech. Modern, AI-first ways of working to help you move faster and smarter, plus a work laptop.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5125,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Hybrid work","Parental leave","Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Australia","iso":"AU","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["CRM Software","Legal Software"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T05:46:45Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":20,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.455,"p_room":0.45,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nexl-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nexl-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-17T18:29:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1277,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-18T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":358},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=358"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnexl-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnexl-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnexl-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nexl-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnexl-senior-software-engineer"}]}
