Our specialists have deep expertise in demographics, economics, housing and population forecasting. They work closely with our team of spatial analysts and software developers to uncover and communicate stories of people and places.

• build high-quality software in line with the team’s strategy and our users’ needs
• identify opportunities for automation to increase productivity and data quality
• be a champion for best-practice in development, testing and system architecture
• be a mentor and share knowledge with other developers in the team
• passionate about delivering value to users through software

• Experience utilising microservices (Docker/K8S)
• Strong SQL database skills

• SOLID principles and software patterns

Desirable

• Minimum 5 years’ experience in software development

What it’s like to work with us

Along with the perks and benefits for all .id employees, here are some reasons we think you’ll love being a developer at .id.

Focus on learning and innovation

We look for people who are keen to learn new things, work with cutting-edge technologies and, most importantly, share their knowledge with their colleagues. Along with regular knowledge sharing sessions and innovation days, we value the ability to generously share knowledge and new ideas.

See the whole picture

Our developers take responsibility for complete products, not just small aspects of them.

Small teams, big impact

Our organisation is structured around small teams that deliver a value stream end-to-end. Developers sit and work alongside client managers, subject matter experts, consultants, product owners: everyone needed to deliver to our clients. You’ll be the voice of technology in your team, and will also have the opportunity to impact the wider company’s technological direction.

We build things that matter

Our products, which attract more than 1.2 million users per annum, are used to make real-life decisions about how to build our cities and provide services to the people living in them.

Attitude

.id is an established organisation and proven financial record, but retains the mentality of a start-up.

In it for the long haul

We look for people who want to take an active role in building our business together.

Who are we?

.id (informed decisions) are population experts dedicated to informing decisions that shape our future. Initially formed by a small group of ‘corporate refugees’, we are passionate about what we do and who we do it with.

Our contribution to society is to build the demographic evidence-base upon which important decisions are made. Often this involves sharing the story of change as to how cities and towns move through various suburb lifecycles. How many new primary schools does Victoria need and where should they be located? Where should elite football teams locate their training grounds? How can we help increase the number of people donating blood?

One of the key datasets that underpins many of these location decisions is a set of detailed micro-geography population forecasts (Small Area Forecast information), often delivered through an online spatial analysis application called .id Placemaker.

We are a small, cross-functional team with great domain knowledge looking to expand our engineering skillset. With the rest of .id we embrace Agile principles and methodologies.
