Software Engineers (Front-end & Back-end roles)

About Us Zepto is building the beating heart of Australia’s real-time, account-to-account payments revolution. We’re a rapidly-scaling business reimagining how money moves for some of Australia’s largest merchants, organisations and payment platforms – disrupting a market that’s been overdue for change for decades. This ambition has seen us recognised as FinTech Organisation of the Year at the Finnies Awards. Twice. For passionate, action-oriented people, this ambition means genuine opportunity: to build category-defining infrastructure, own hard problems, and grow a career at the pace of the business around you. This isn’t incremental work – it’s the kind of experience that changes the trajectory of a career. We believe in the power of positive human experiences, and that a deep sense of belonging creates cohesion in our culture. Even as a remote-first team, you’ll be a contributor and custodian of that culture, solving complex problems alongside talented people who are just as driven to help us deliver on our brand promise and build ‘a better way to pay’ at Zepto .
