Hiring; Staff level .Net Engineer – payments/integrations space – Sydney – Circa $175k + super.. I’ve a new opportunity for a hands on, very senior level .Net engineer who’ll be helping their team build out a new real-time payments platform in .Net, that will in turn have massive impact to the business and their customers, allowing them to send and receive money quickly. Like a lot of financial institutions, this business use legacy batch payments to send and receive large sums of money, meaning it can take days to reach its destination. This new platform that’s already underway is going to help solve that. To help get this built, were on the lookout for a .Net engineer with domain/projects experience in payments and the nuances involved. You need be a staff/tech lead level engineer who cares about code, architecture and modern engineering practices. You also need to be someone who can influence an engineering team, provide technical direction and have an appreciation of performance / observability & SRE ways of working. You’ll work closely with a new vendor, as the business integrates with their APIs and accounts to enable real-time payments. Stack; .Net8, SQL, AWS, CI/CD, Redis, Typescript. Were looking for an individual contributor who doesn’t want to manage, but does get a kick from uplifting the team. The perfect person would have been the guy or girl who was instrumental in building a new payments platform or at least worked on integrations, so you know the ins & outs / what to do when it breaks etc.. Little to no front end although most devs here are full stack. Cutting code for probably 60% of your time. Whether the task you are on is big or small – its about making sure your decisions are force-multiplied across the teams and in turn will have business wide impact. We could be negotiable on the salary but $175k-$180k base is about where we're at. Sound cool or know someone? Pls shoot me an email; nick@tekfinder.com.au #DotNet #C# #AWS #StaffEngineer

🚨 We've got a volunteer opportunity for HR/Payroll Software experts! 🚨 tekFoundation is partnering with Ability Enterprises to support them in recruiting a volunteer HR/Payroll software consultant that can assist in investigating & resolving a payroll integration issue between Tanda and Xero. *WHO IS ABILITY ENTERPRISES?* Ability Enterprises is a not-for-profit, social enterprise providing meaningful employment opportunities to marginalised individuals living in regional Queensland. Since 2012, they’ve worked alongside more than 400 people facing barriers to employment. Through strategic community and corporate partnerships, they provide a social enterprise vehicle to support people living with mental illness, people with a disability, refugees and Indigenous Australians. 15% of the people employed move on to secure other employment. 🙌 *HOW YOU CAN HELP* Currently, Ability Enterprises utilises a rostering software product called Tanda, leveraged for scheduling, workforce and shift management; and Xero is used for processing payroll. It’s common for a single employee at AE to work various types of jobs, at various locations, and receive different pay rates reflecting their work. Unfortunately, the payroll integration doesn’t correctly apply these variable rates so payroll is processed manually instead. This time consuming process is about to double in workload with several new tenders coming through so we’re hoping to find a volunteer that can help properly diagnose the issue and resolve it. *REQUIREMENTS* Volunteer will ideally have experience with both Tanda and Xero but they’re open to support from experienced HR/Payroll software consultants that wish to investigate and liaise with Tanda & Xero on Ability Enterprise’s behalf. Tasks completed remotely & flexible on own hours - complimenting your work/life schedule with any meeting times/cadences coordinated between volunteer and Ability Enterprises. Goal resolution date is by 1 July, 2025. Thank you so much for your interest in helping us tackle this technical challenge, your support really makes a difference!

A big thank you to the tekFoundation for connecting us with Deepak Sethi and Michael Fung, who have generously volunteered their time to assist St Francis Social Services with our website redesign! The tekFoundation is an incredible organisation that bridges the gap between not for profits and tech professionals willing to share their expertise pro bono. This collaboration with such talented professionals is truly exciting as we kick off the redesign of our House Of Welcome website. Our goal is to enhance functionality for our clients and better communicate our programs. Stay tuned for updates on this journey!

We've got another great volunteer match story to share! 🎉 Meadhbh Roche from St Francis Social Services reached out to us late September to discuss enhancing their websites to make them more donor centric and really showcase their amazing impact. St Francis supports people seeking asylum and refugees with an incredible set of wrap around support services including transitional housing, foodbank, employment programs and case workers. These services are delivered through House Of Welcome, House of Welcome - Catering, and Centre360 Youth and Family Service. Meadhbh Roche and Sarah Titheridge worked with our Head of tekFoundation, Joni, to refine their goals for the project and the ideal set of skills the volunteer(s) would need. In the end we were able to source 2 generous volunteers that are teaming up to support both the design and engineering work required to bring the sites into the 21st century 🙌 - Deepak Sethi and Michael Fung. Michael is a UX/UI designer by trade, but spent the early days of his career building Squarespace websites for not-for-profits and independent artists. Deepak Sethi is a seasoned web and technical project developer and was looking for an opportunity to use his talents for a good cause. The project is just kicking off but we can't wait to follow along in 2025 and to see the new websites - Michael and Deepak, THANK YOU!!
