Software Engineer

About the role

FortunateMedia is hiring a Software Engineer to build the internal products that keep the business running: automation services, API integrations, operational tooling and QA automation. You will work across backend, frontend and data, delivering pragmatic solutions from discovery to production. This is an ownership role: you will design, build, operate and evolve the systems you deliver, with a focus on reliability, observability and long-term maintainability.

Key responsibilities

• Deliver integrations between internal platforms and third-party services (REST APIs, webhooks, event-driven workflows, data sync).
• Develop internal web tools with user interfaces used by non-technical teams to get work done quickly and safely.
• Build reliable automation (jobs, schedulers, queues).
• Ship production-grade code with code reviews, testing strategy and documentation.
• Troubleshoot and improve: debug across team-owned systems, perform root-cause analysis and implement fixes.

Required profile

• 2+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Proven experience designing and consuming APIs (authentication, pagination, rate limiting, error handling, resilience).
• Working knowledge of databases: schema concepts, queries, migrations and data models that support real workflows.
• Comfortable with Git and structured code review.

Required skills

• Strong JavaScript in a modern ecosystem, ideally with Vue.
• Backend, frontend and data development.

What we offer

• Semi remote-friendly setup with flexibility built around outcomes and business priorities.
• Education budget for courses, certifications, conferences and learning resources.
• Team lunch once per week and a monthly gym allowance.
• Private health insurance.
• A collaborative environment working closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
