Software engineers, for SaaS.

SaaS is a product you never stop shipping. Re:Sourced recruits the backend, full-stack and frontend engineers who build multi-tenant products at pace, where velocity, reliability and a codebase the next hire can read all have to coexist.

The profile

What SaaS software engineers actually do.

The work is continuous product delivery on a multi-tenant base: feature work across the stack, API design that other teams build on, performance and tenancy isolation as the customer base grows, and the trunk-based, well-tested workflow that keeps a fast-shipping team from drowning in regressions.

The differentiator at senior and staff level is shipping quickly without breaking reliability, and setting the technical bar others follow. Staff and principal engineers who can hold architecture across product, platform and infrastructure are the scarce, high-value profile. Typical stack: TypeScript and React, Go, Java or Node, Postgres.

Where they come from

The Sydney SaaS talent pool.

The deepest pools sit inside the large product-led scale-ups (Canva, Atlassian, SafetyCulture, Deputy, Culture Amp, Linktree) and the Series B-D companies scaling behind them. The reliable profile has shipped real product to real users at multi-tenant scale and can move between product and platform work.
