The Opportunity 

Cascade is a global SaaS-integrated platform helping thousands of organisations to run their business, from business planning and departmental strategy, right through to tracking and execution of initiatives, team performance and more. Our customers are redefining the world as we know it - from battling the AIDS epidemic and establishing a supply chain for COVID-19 vaccines, to building the world’s fastest Formula One car.

Our core principle is that each and every team member is an integral cog in the functioning of a business, and we believe Cascade is the only platform that connects them all to real outcomes and tangible success. We’re passionate about organisational synergy; bringing companies together through efficient strategic planning and execution, and helping drive teams to be greater than the sum of their already impressive parts.

In 2014 we identified a gap in the market for strategic execution software, and our adventurous tech start-up was born. We’re an ever-growing team of mission-obsessed people, and have established ourselves as the market leader in our field. Based in Sydney, Australia, with offices in the US and South Korea, we work closely with an array of customers around the globe. 

2021 has been a huge year so far, doubling the business revenue this year (from 5 to 10m), we started at 28 people and now we are 72+  and growing we are also giving great packages and equity to all employees and will become a unicorn within 3 to 4 years.Cascade is a unique product that solves a massive problem, helping companies turn their visions into realities: rolling out COVID-vaccines, building formula-1 cars, battling AIDS, running transportation projects for the entire state of California and winning the English Premier League just to name a few.

We are a team of 72+ people, building the future of strategy. We are scaling up fast and aim to have Cascade in the hands of millions of people, driving alignment and focus.

The Role

We’re looking for a full-stack Senior Developer who’s keen for a new challenge, to come and join our SaaS startup team here in Sydney or work remotely from Australia, New Zealand or South East Asia. At Cascade we’re all about the product and the tech, and we love our friendly, collaborative environment which allows us to do those things well.

You’re already a great developer, but you want to go further - this is where you really get to take a leap into the world of SaaS. You'll be working hands-on with the product, and pushing big and small projects into production. You'll get involved with both the back-end and the front-end, as well as all the processes that support a growing and evolving SaaS platform. All this while having the chance to show your ability to work on things independently and be a valuable member of a team.

You’ll also be someone who is keen to work on the product from a variety of angles - improving existing features, building new features, getting your hands on the infrastructure, implementing new UI patterns, creating integrations, and a whole lot of other things we have and haven’t attacked yet!

We’ll give you that friendly, collaborative team environment, great people to work with, and the opportunity to mould your role over the longer term and take your technology career in the directions you want to go. It’s a great chance for you to grow with the company and the product.

What you'll need

You’ll be bringing with you:

• 5+ years development experience.
• Strong JavaScript framework skills (if that’s with Ember, even better).
• Strong back-end skills, especially consuming and developing REST APIs (if that’s with PHP, awesome).
• All-round game with the usual suspects on the front-end - HTML 5, CSS 3, responsive design, etc.
• Solid understanding of relational database implementation (MySQL would be great).
• Experience working with cloud platforms (if that includes AWS, brilliant).
• Experience designing, developing, and running a SaaS application on a public cloud platform would be a massive plus.
• Passion for the job - you already love interesting tech, and we want to support that.
• Willingness to learn every day, and help others learn too.
• Desire to get your hands dirty and really get into the code
