Senior Engineer - Java & React [T500-20602]

Senior Engineer – Full Stack

About REA Group :

In 1995, in a garage in Melbourne, Australia, REA Group was born from a simple question : “Can we change the way the world experiences property?”

Could we? Yes. Are we done? Never.

Fast forward 30 years, REA Group is a market leader in online real estate in three continents and continuing to grow rapidly across the globe. The secret to our growth is staying true to that ‘day one’ mindset; the hunger to innovate, the ambition to change the world, and the curiosity to reimagine the future.

Our new Tech Center in Cyber City is dedicated to accelerating REA Group’s global technology delivery through relentless innovation. We’re looking for the best technologists, inventors and leaders in India to join us on this exciting new journey.

If you’re excited by the prospect of creating something magical from scratch, then read on.

Work to solve technical problems and deliver features in a maintainable, extensible way

Share expertise and support other engineers through peer programming, reviews, and knowledge sharing

Who we’re looking for :

Hands-on experience developing backend services with Java and Spring Boot (Node.js a plus)

Competence with React for frontend development

Familiarity with event-driven architectures and microservices ecosystems

Experience with AWS cloud services and infrastructure automation

Proficient in developing and optimizing relational databases, especially Postgres

Skilled in building API-driven products

Flexible leave options including parental leave, family care leave and celebration leave.

Insurances for you and your immediate family members.

Programs to support mental, emotional, financial and physical health & wellbeing.

Continuous learning and development opportunities to further your technical expertise.

The values we live by :

Our values are at the core of how we operate, treat each other, and make decisions. We believe that how we work is equally important as what we do to achieve our goals. This commitment is at the heart of everything we do, from the way we interact with colleagues to the way we serve our customers and communities.

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion :

We are committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity, equity and inclusion. We believe teams with diverse ideas and experiences are more creative, more effective and fuel disruptive thinking - be it cultural and ethnic backgrounds, gender identity, disability, age, sexual orientation, or any other identity or lived experience. We know diverse teams are critical to maintaining our success and driving new business opportunities. If you've got the skills, dedication and enthusiasm to learn but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch.

REA Group in India :

You might already recognize our logo. The REA brand does have an existing presence in India. In fact, we set up our new tech hub in Gurugram to be their neighbours!

REA Group holds a controlling interest in REA India Pte. Ltd., operator of established brands Housing.com, Makaan.com and PropTiger.com, three of the country’s leading digital property marketplaces.

Through our close connection to REA India, we’ve seen first-hand the incredible talent the country has to offer, and the huge opportunity to expand our global workforce. Our Cyber City Tech Center is an extension of REA Group; a satellite office working directly with our Australia HQ on local projects and tech delivery.

All our brands, across the globe, connect regularly, learn from each other and collaborate on shared value initiatives.
