Leeds UK, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom Smoothwall Full time

Want to deliver tech with purpose, with people who care?

Join us in our mission to create solutions that help keep children safe online.


Who we are?

Headquartered in Perth, Australia, with offices globally including in Leeds, UK, Qoria is an ASX listed global leader in child digital safety technology and services. We are a purpose-driven business, operating under the ‘Linewize’ brand in North America and Asia Pacific, the ‘Smoothwall’ brand in the UK, and the ‘Qoria’ brand in EMEA. Our solutions are utilised by schools, school districts, and parental communities to protect children from seeing harmful content online, identify children at risk based on their digital behaviours and ensure teachers maintain focus and safe learning in the digital classroom. 27k schools and 6 million parents depend on our solutions to keep 22 million children safe in 180 countries around the world.


What’s the opportunity?

A Software Engineer owns the day-to-day trade-off between quality, time-to-build and cost-to-own. They work in close conjunction with their Engineering Manager and other engineers to ensure that development is estimated accurately, delivered to specification, and has high quality and low cost of ownership.

You will join our Agents and Data Ingress squad, delivering strategic projects to safeguard children by monitoring the content of their devices and cloud environments, maintaining and improving scalable solutions which process billions of captures a month and assist with the migration of our existing solutions from Azure, Angular and .Net to GCP, React and Golang.


Here's how you'll do it:


Deliver quality work: The successful candidate will deliver work we are all proud of. Code is written to a high standard, and follows the conventions set by the team. Important aspects include, in consultation with their manager and other engineers (and especially QA Engineers), software that is easily testable and actually tested, and through that work correct and reliable. Depending on context, quality might include an emphasis on maintainability, readability, extensibility, generality, scalability and cost of ownership.

Fit-for-purpose Design: supported by their manager and peers, the successful candidate will spend time mindfully designing software that meets the specification and coheres with other parts of the system. Design is detailed enough to estimate work. It is based on an understanding of impacts on customers and other components, and includes explicit identification of and mitigations for risks (e.g. privacy, security, dependencies).

Professional Growth: the baseload work of Software Engineers is of course the actual delivery of software. They should be a little better tomorrow than they are today. They therefore are responsible for identifying and critically evaluating tools, techniques, trends and patterns, and the intentional application of them that most benefits the component being delivered. As software engineers grow within the role, they are expected to have a positive influence on the professional growth of others and a positive impact on the team.


What you'll bring:

  • At least 2 to 5 years of experience in a software engineering or similar role
  • Experience of Go as your main programming language
  • Experience with cloud development (ideally GCP)
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent vocational experience
