About Future Group

Future Group is not your traditional financial services company – we're a collective of super funds and services committed to changing our planet now for a better tomorrow. When you join us, you’ll become part of a team united by a clear and important mission: to lead the investment movement by advocating and campaigning for a future worth retiring into.

We are looking for a junior or entry level Software Engineer to join our purpose-led high-growth scale-up, working in a full-stack role on a range of software and systems. Your north star: delivering a great member experience through technology. And the best bit, you’ll get to work with some fantastic work mates!

We strongly encourage applications from people with diverse lived experience and identities, as the problems we face are complex, and the more diverse our team is, the better our solutions become. We are a team that is all about building a strong workplace culture, that's not only diverse, but competent. We are always learning and doing better together, and holding ourselves to account on our values.

Future Group values lived experience and we encourage applications from people with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, who have caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, people with disability, people who experience ageism, LGBTQIA+ people, and people who experience social exclusion because of their social class.

If you require any adjustments throughout the recruitment process, please reach out to our talent team at careers@futuregroup.com.au. We want to ensure our recruitment process is equitable for all, and we’ll happily make any reasonable adjustments where required.

You’ll love this job if:

• You find superannuation opaque and frustrating, if you had the chance to revolutionise the industry to be better for people, you would
• You love sharing your ideas and seeing what happens. At this scale-up, you're not just a small fish in a big pond. Your contributions have a direct influence on our impact and how we work
• You like to be kept on your toes - change is inevitable here. You like to tackle new challenges, solve problems, and maybe even discover talents you never knew you had.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Believes in Future Group’s mission and has a passion for moving Australia’s money out of fossil-fuels and into renewable energy
• Believes in using the power of money to build a sustainable and equitable world
• Demonstrates real passion and enthusiasm for coding and the tech world! Whilst you may be early days in your software engineering journey, you're keen to learn and get involved
• Has had some exposure to our tech stack: .NET (ideal!), React, React Native and AWS (added bonus!).

As a Software Engineer you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain high-quality, scalable, and secure software applications, working across the entire technology stack, whether that's front-end, back-end, databases or native apps.
• Work collaboratively within a cross-functional squad, including other software engineers, QAs, product manager and product designers, to deliver projects on time and to specification.
• Stay abreast of emerging technologies and industry best practices, and share knowledge with team members.

Don’t tick all the boxes?- that’s okay, we like thinking outside the box anyway. We value skills, passion and who you are over what you’ve done or where you’ve studied. So if this job strikes a chord, we want to hear from you!
