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.

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

- 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
