Why you might love this opp:
Full stack software engineering: You live and breath TypeScript and are comfortable with building performant and modern React apps as well as scalable, efficient, AWS serverless architecture (using SST & CDK).
- ⚡ The team at Sustainable Investment Exchange (SIX) is dedicated to revolutionising how everyday people can impact systemic change by making it simpler for retail investors (that’s you and me!) to influence how the world's largest companies make decisions. Their innovative platform helps people easily buy shares in big companies and take part in shareholder campaigns that influence corporate decisions.
- 🌏 You'll be joining a values-led team, with the founders and advisors having highly impactful and proven experience (ranging from disrupting the $3 trillion super industry through to guiding ASX listed product teams + startups) that inform their leadership. Equity, sustainability, justice, courage and collaboration are core to their work.
- 🚀 This is an opportunity to grow as a senior engineer and beyond. You'll be joining a small, mission-driven team that values integrity and who are all leveraging their expertise for a better world. This org gets that your software engineering experience could be built from a range of places - whether it be in a startup or something else entirely! If you’ve worked in fintech then that’s a plus.
- 🤖 In addition to technical coding/engineering, the person in this pivotal role will work closely with the CPO, team members and external stakeholders (market participants, ID verification providers etc.) to ensure the tech is fit for purpose, customer-centric and scalable, whilst reducing technology risks to the business. Creative problem solving, collaboration, management and adaptability are as important as your software engineering skills.
- 🧩 Finding the right fit for this purpose-led role is top of mind. Passion, communication and some creative grit is as important as your experience; you’ll be working directly with the Chief Product Lead to deliver unique impact across the nation.
- 🌳 The team have already starting making some impactful moves toward making the world a better, fairer place. For example, filing a world first resolution to get big supermarkets to care about their role in aiding an extinction event, working with NGOs on campaigns relating to banning gambling ads and fighting for paid parental leave for workers.

**More about Sustainable Investment Exchange:**
SIX is the trading platform that unites shareholders to push big companies to go green, reduce inequality and be better for workers. Australia’s Corporations Act grants power to shareholders of listed companies to influence a board in a number of ways: but unless you’re a particularly large investor in Australia, like a super fund or a billionaire, influencing a company as an individual is difficult. However, when at least 100 investors work together, they have the right to give notice of a resolution to propose at a general meeting. SIX has been created to break down the barriers and give people a powerful voice in the boardroom. **www.**[**https://www.six-invest.com.au**](https://www.six-invest.com.au)
