Backend Software Engineer

About Megaport

We’re not your typical tech company – and we don’t want to be. Megaport is the global leader in Network as a Service (NaaS), and has transformed the way businesses connect to the cloud, data centers, and each other. We’re publicly listed on the Australian Stock Exchange and partnered with the biggest names in tech like Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, IBM, and more. Headquartered in Brisbane with a crew of over 600 people spread across Asia-Pacific, Europe, and the Americas, our employees enjoy an environment that is collaborative, supportive, and (actually) fun.

Our Team Culture

We’re a team of problem solvers, pixel pushers, code slingers, and cloud fanatics. Culture is more than a poster on the wall here – collaboration beats hierarchy, curiosity fuels our growth, and everyone’s voice matters. We take our work seriously, but not ourselves. We work across time zones to execute on our global vision, trust each other to get things done, and never compromise our values for commercial gain. Most importantly, we place our customers at the center of everything we do.

We’re committed to increasing representation in the tech industry and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Don’t meet every requirement? That’s okay. If you’re excited about this role, we encourage you to apply.

Your Role

You’ve got a few years of building backend services under your belt, and you’re ready to own real features on systems that customers depend on every day.

We’re looking for a mid-level Backend Engineer to join our Engineering team and help us ship high-quality software, faster. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, you’ll work on the core systems behind the Megaport platform — the APIs and services that turn a click in the Portal into provisioned connectivity between data centers on opposite sides of the world.

Our main codebase is a mixture of Java and Kotlin using the Spring Boot framework, and we are migrating fully to Kotlin over time. You don’t need Kotlin on day one, but you’ll be writing it before long.

You'll work alongside a skilled, driven team, and have genuine room to shape how we solve problems. Our backend engineers also run a dedicated mentoring program, so you'll have someone in your corner as you grow.
