Stanford exists to guide Australians through life's biggest moments.
We do this by building the best in-house technology to amplify the best human talent in their mission to deliver outstanding experiences and results for their clients in Professional Services.
Stanford Innovations is the team that builds it. We are developing an AI-powered operating system for professional services: an end-to-end, walled garden platform that changes how people interact with these industries in Australia. Built in-house. Owned entirely by us. The new SaaS is Service as a Software.
Stanford Innovations Pty Ltd and Stanford Legal Pty Ltd are companies in the Stanford group. These positions sit in Stanford Innovations.
We're a team of high performers. We work hard, we deliver, and we know when to step away. The standard is high, and so is the support.
About the Roles
We're hiring several Software Engineers, from junior through to lead level, to join the team building the platform that disrupts professional services from within.
You're not patching legacy systems or shipping features for a client who changes their mind every week. You're building an intelligent, integrated platform inside one of Australia's fastest-growing professional services groups, on top of 12 months of strong technical foundations already laid.
You'll work across React frontends, PHP and Node backends, Python tooling, and TypeScript throughout. You'll touch AWS, GCP, and Azure. You'll design databases, solve hard problems, and keep security front of mind.
This team moves fast. But fast without reliability isn't fast, it's debt. You'll know the difference.
AI is central to how we build. Tools like Claude Code and Cursor aren't novelties here. They're how serious engineers accelerate.
What You'll Do
- Work out what the business and its users need from a system, and turn that into designs and technical specifications
- Write and maintain code to those specifications and to our quality standards
- Test, debug, diagnose and fix faults inside our testing protocols, so what ships performs to specification
- Find the limits and weak points in existing systems and the processes around them, and fix them
- Write and maintain technical documentation, user guides and operating procedures
- Build and run automated testing and deployment
