Software Engineer - Full Stack AI

Salary: $100,000 – $120,000 per year + bonus (package)

`About Docuscan Australia

Docuscan Australia is a leading provider of AI SaaS solutions including intelligent document management, workflow automation, and compliance solutions supporting the mortgage, finance, and broader financial services sectors. Our platforms help businesses streamline operations, improve data accuracy, and meet regulatory obligations with confidence. As we continue to scale, we are looking for a motivated Fullstack AI Software Engineer to embrace the opportunity to take real ownership and shape products from the ground up.

About the Role

FraudX is a document fraud detection platform used by Australian lenders and brokers. Applicants submit payslips, bank statements, tax and identity documents; FraudX tells the lender whether to trust them.

We are building the next generation of its detection engine, and we are hiring one engineer to build it alongside the person who designed it. You own the implementation end to end: the module that examines files at the byte level, the engine that runs a growing library of declarative checks, the data model that makes every result reproducible, and the product surfaces that put it in front of clients.

The requirements arrive written down, with acceptance criteria, fixtures and recorded decisions. Within them, how it is built is yours. If you have wanted to work somewhere that writes things down and means it, this is that place.

Australian work rights are required for this position and candidates MUST be based in Melbourne, Victoria to be considered for this position.

Candidates must have a minimum of 2+ years of professional experience in the required or related role.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain full stack features across our SaaS platforms including A deterministic detection engine, from the file up.

• Directly with the design authority, every day. Requirements, acceptance criteria and fixtures come to you in writing. Decisions are recorded. When you think one is wrong, you say so with a recommendation and get an answer before the code changes

• You own the implementation. The structure of the code, the tests, the migrations, the release: yours, end to end.

• Test-first, fixture-driven. Every result a check can return has a real document that produces it, and the fixtures are the acceptance criteria.

• Model and maintain relational databases in PostgreSQL (via RDS and Supabase)

• AI-assisted, human-reviewed. We build with AI coding tools from complete specifications, and review what they produce as carefully as hand-written code.

• Integrate AI capabilities using AWS Bedrock and Claude Code to accelerate development and deliver intelligent product features

• Manage containerised services with ECR and ECS

• Store and manage assets and documents using S3

• Comfortable using GitHub, making, review and creating PR

• Take ownership of features end-to-end, development to production

Skills & Experience

Essential :

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience

• PDF internals: cross-reference tables, incremental updates, object streams, fonts and content streams (ISO 32000), plus XMP and EXIF metadata.

• Strong proficiency in Node.js and React.js with Tailwind CSS

• Hands-on experience with PostgreSQL (schema design, queries, migrations)

• Working experience with AWS services, particularly Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, S3, ECR, and ECS

• Familiarity with Supabase (auth, JWT, real-time, database, or storage)

• Experience with or willingness to adopt AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, AWS Bedrock and AI Solutioning)

• Ability to work autonomously and take ownership of deliverables

Desirable:

• Experience or exposure to financial services, mortgage broking, fintech, or compliance environments.

• You have built something driven by rules or a specification: a rules engine, an interpreter, a validator, a schema-driven configuration system, a parser or a small language

• Digital forensics, document security, image forensics or anti-fraud work.A basic understanding of AWS is desired

• Understanding of API-driven platforms, automation tools, or document processing technologies.

• Tertiary qualifications in Software Engineering (majoring in AI), IT, Data Analytics, or related disciplines.

• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code

What We Offer

• Opportunity to grow your career within a scaling Australian technology company.

• Exposure to cutting-edge automation, compliance, and document intelligence solutions.

• Support from experienced senior analysts, developers, and industry experts.

• An engineering practice you will rarely find at a company this size: written requirements, decision records, fixtures as contracts, reproducible releases

• A collaborative, friendly, and innovative team culture.

• Professional development pathways and ongoing skills training.

• A modern development workflow powered by AI-assisted engineering

• The opportunity to build products that materially impact the mortgage and lending industry

• Early-stage growth trajectory in a funded fintech start-up that will include access to employee equity programs
