Senior Software Engineer

At Qwilr we're on a mission to revolutionise what proposals are capable of. This involves a highly technical platform, coupled with some seriously cool innovative engineering with some seriously awesome engineers.

Qwilr Engineering has transitioned over a decade of phenomenal pioneering - from the creation of monoliths, to dabbling with micro-services, all the while pursuing cloud-native distributed architecture designed to stand the test of time and to scale. We aggressively replace old technology along the way, but only when it makes sense.

You can also work independently, to reliably deliver your part of the puzzle.

Research shows that while men apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other folks in minority groups tend to only apply when they check every box. So if you think you have what it takes, but don't necessarily meet every single point above, please still get in touch. We'd love to have a chat and see if you could be a great fit.
