Senior Software Engineer

At Phocas, we make complex financial data simple, fast, and accessible. For more than 20 years, we’ve helped businesses turn numbers into clarity. Now we’re scaling our Financial Statements product to serve even more finance teams around the world. And we’re looking for a senior engineer to help lead the charge.

Financial Statements is in a major growth phase: we’re enhancing core product value, expanding to support more customers, and scaling to handle huge volumes of financial data. Our flexible financial reporting tools let customers skip tedious ERP exports and instantly explore insights they can slice, dice, and share across their organisation.

As a senior member of an empowered cross-functional team, you’ll shape how businesses model, analyse, and present their financial performance, and influence the direction of one of our most strategic products.

**What will you work on?**
You’ll lead design and development of the core foundations that power financial reporting for thousands of users, including:

- **Scaling multi-currency support** — Designing and delivering more flexible, sophisticated multi-currency capabilities, supporting forecasting, scenario analysis, and evolving financial workflows.
- **Migration to our new data platform** — Driving key decisions and contributing deeply to a faster, more modular architecture that unlocks performance, flexibility, and a smoother user experience.
- **Serving the Office of the CFO** — Building reliable, scalable tools that speak the language of finance teams: precise, transparent, and built for high-trust environments.

**What skills do you need?**
You’re a full-stack engineer with a strong front-end lean, ideally with:

- Deep capability in React and TypeScript.
- Strong system-level thinking: you understand how data flows, where complexity hides, and how to evolve architecture responsibly.
- Familiarity with financial concepts and an interest in learning how finance teams operate.

**You’ll thrive in this role if you**:

- Seek out complex, meaningful technical challenges.
- Enjoy shaping architecture, patterns, and engineering practices across a product area.
- Bring strong collaboration skills and can work closely with designers, PMs, and domain experts.
- Balance pragmatism with quality: you know when to optimise, when to abstract, and when to move fast.

If you love leading high-impact work that empowers users who _really_ care about the numbers, we’d love to hear from you.

**Why work at Phocas?**

- **The people**: Supportive, capable, low-ego teams who care deeply about what they build.
- **10% PD Time**: One day a fortnight dedicated to learning and development.
- **Social culture**: Optional silliness + regular food bribery.
- **Spacious Sydenham office**: Central location and plenty of parking (cars/bikes/scooters).
- **Benefits**: Southern Cross, Life, TPD and Income Protection Insurance, extra paid parental leave, educational reimbursement and more.
- **Flexibility**: Hybrid working policy, flexible hours.
