Senior Full Stack Developer — Inspected (PropTech Startup)
About Inspected: The Opportunity to Build a Category Leader
Inspected is a dynamic, rapidly-growing PropTech startup based in Sydney's innovation hub, poised to disrupt the property industry. While some of our solution details are currently confidential, you can still see some info of what we do on our website, although our vision is to bring significant efficiency and transparency to a multi-billion dollar market.
Our mobile and web platform enables real estate agents to create and share immersive video walkthroughs with additional information — making inspections more transparent and efficient for buyers, renters, and sellers.
We’ve built the foundations of something big — now we’re looking for a Senior Developer to help us take it to the next level.
After a successful pre-launch phase, Inspected is entering an exciting period of rapid growth. We’re scaling our platform, shipping new features, and preparing for national rollout — and we need a talented engineer who’s ready to dive in, own key parts of the stack, and make an immediate impact.
You’ll be joining a small, passionate founding team that’s deeply committed to building high-quality software and disrupting the property industry through innovation and transparency. Working directly with the founders, you’ll help shape the direction of the product, strengthen our technical foundation, and turn a strong early product into a market-leading platform.
The Role: Define, Architect, and Scale Our Future
We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer who thrives in a fast-paced startup environment — someone hands-on, curious, and motivated to take ownership across both frontend (React Native / Expo) and backend (Node.js / Supabase / AWS) systems.
You’ll be working directly with the Founders including the CTO (Aleistor) and two-three other developers to ship new features, improve performance, and help us scale from alpha to production-ready platform.
This is a key early hire who will play a major role in shaping the product and the codebase as we prepare for national rollout.
Core Responsibilities \& Strategic Imperatives:
Ship quickly: Design, build, and deploy production-ready features in our React Native Expo + Node.js stack.
Own the stack: Work across mobile, web, backend, and APIs — from database to UI.
Improve performance: Optimize load times, caching, and media handling (video upload/playback).
Stabilize and scale: Identify and fix technical bottlenecks, refactor where needed, and contribute to architecture evolution.
Collaborate: Work closely with design, product, and leadership to translate ideas into working software.
Contribute to process: Help define coding standards, testing, and CI/CD practices as we grow.
Performance \& Reliability: Ensure 99.99% uptime and peak performance across all services, implementing robust CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and observability tools.
What You'll Be Developing (Our Current Stack):
This role requires the expertise to strategically evolve, the following ecosystem:
Mobile Foundation: Scaling React Native (TypeScript) and Expo for feature-rich, high-performance cross-platform applications (complex media handling, device permissions).
Backend \& Data: Defining the future architecture beyond initial services (Node.js, Supabase) to ensure high scalability, fault tolerance, and cost efficiency. Experience with advanced data streaming or warehousing solutions is a major plus.
DevOps \& Infrastructure: Establishing automated, secure, and modern cloud infrastructure practices (IaC, advanced CI/CD, AWS).
Technical Debt \& Modernisation: Taking responsibility for architectural decisions, proactively managing technical debt, and leading efforts to modernize the stack where necessary for growth.
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in software development, with strong JS/TS skills.
Proven ability to ship and maintain production-grade apps (ideally mobile + backend).
Deep understanding of asynchronous code, APIs, and state management.
Experience with SQL databases (PostgreSQL preferred).
Solid debugging and performance optimization skills.
Familiarity with CI/CD, testing, and cloud hosting environments.
Comfortable owning tasks end-to-end with minimal supervision.
Passion for startups — you like building from scratch and solving real problems fast.
Bonus points for:
React Native and Expo experience
Supabase, Firebase, or AWS experience
Video/media handling experience
Prior startup or small-team experience
Logistics, Equity, and Compensation
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent Position

This is a hands-on, high-impact role at an exciting stage — ideal for someone who wants to help shape both the product and the culture as we scale.
