Full-Stack Software Engineer (Django + React/TypeScript)

Location: Sydney, Australia · Type: Full-time · Level: Mid–Senior

About the role

We run a production ERP system for a wholesale import/distribution business — sales orders, purchasing, inventory, invoicing, multi-currency banking, payroll, and an R&D/manufacturing workflow (designs, moulds, QC). It's a Django REST backend serving several React/TypeScript apps (admin, customer, and supplier portals, plus a Next.js storefront), deployed via Docker and GitHub Actions.

You'll own features across the whole stack — from a Postgres model and API endpoint to the React UI it renders in. We need someone self-directed who can turn fuzzy business requirements into clean, reliable software.

Required skills

Backend

• Python 3.12+ and Django 5.x — models, migrations, ORM, signals
• Django REST Framework — ViewSets, serializers, custom permissions
• PostgreSQL — schema design, query optimization, constraints
• JWT auth, Django groups/permissions, django-filter
• Clean domain modeling and centralized business logic; writing tests

Frontend

• React 18/19 + TypeScript — strong with hooks and typed components
• Vite, TanStack Query, react-hook-form + Zod
• Tailwind CSS + HeadlessUI; axios, react-router
• Reusable, DRY components and data grids/tables

DevOps & judgment

• Docker & Docker Compose, Git/GitHub PR workflow, GitHub Actions CI/CD
• Linux server basics, environment/secrets management
• KISS / DRY / SRP — clean, maintainable code that matches existing conventions

Nice to have

WebSockets (Channels/ASGI), PDF generation (WeasyPrint), charting (Recharts) & Excel export, Next.js, Caddy/AWS, PWA, OpenAPI tooling, and domain experience in ERP / accounting / inventory / e-commerce or multi-currency trade.

Who you are

Self-directed, comfortable across the full stack, care about UX and data integrity equally, and a clear communicator in English. Sydney-based or able to work Sydney hours.
