Who Is Bare
Bare is Australia's most highly rated end of life business - supporting Australian families through the hardest time in their life.
We are a company dedicated to providing accessible, affordable end-of-life care to change the way that Australians deal with death. Our aim is to change the game in the funeral industry which has long provided expensive, traditional, cookie cutter services that don't always meet the needs of the modern Australian.
By combining empathy with technology, we're creating end-of-life experiences that are simple, personalised and affordable. In only five years, we've served more than 50,000 families, have become Australia's most awarded end-of-life provider (with awards in customer service, innovation and digital disruption), and have built a team of more than 200 people committed to changing the way Australians deal with end-of-life. And we're just getting started.

We're looking for a Senior Engineer who's rare in the best way — still loves being on tools, but thinks like an architect.
At Bare, you won't just write code. You'll work closely with our engineering lead and product team to translate complex operational problems into elegant technical solutions — designing the systems, then helping build them. It's a role that demands both craft and clarity of thinking.
This is a chance to do meaningful work at a company that's already category-leading and still building fast.
What You'll Do
Most importantly — we want someone who believes in our mission. Everyone at Bare is driven by the impact of what we're doing, and we want to make sure that continues with every new hire.
What's In It For You
Our employee NPS is exceptionally high — and for good reason. We trust our team to do amazing work, giving you the tools, support, and autonomy to do your best. We're proud to have been named one of the 2026 Top 10 Inspiring Workplaces across Australia, a reflection of the people-first culture we've built. #PeopleFirst
In addition, we offer:

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.

What You'll Do
- Design and architect software solutions that connect the dots between real business problems and the right technical approach
- Build and own full-stack features in Ruby on Rails — clean, testable, maintainable code
- Work directly with non-technical stakeholders to understand problems and define the right scope of solution
- Contribute to CI/CD practices, deployment workflows, and technical standards across the team
- Operate with genuine ownership in a lean, high-trust engineering team
- 6–9 years of full-stack engineering experience, with strong Ruby on Rails proficiency
- You can architect a solution, not just implement one — you've led technical design decisions, not just followed them
- Strong CS fundamentals — we'd love to see a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical discipline
- Clean, well-structured code is non-negotiable
- Solid understanding of CI/CD and modern deployment practices
- Experience working in Agile environments in fast-moving product companies
- Comfortable with ambiguity — you're energised by hard problems, not paralysed by them
- A collaborative approach with strong communication skills; you can talk to engineers and non-engineers alike
- Experience as a technical product owner or in a hybrid engineering/product role
- Background at an early-stage high-growth tech company (the kind where you had to think, build, and adapt fast)
Most importantly — we want someone who believes in our mission. Everyone at Bare is driven by the impact of what we're doing, and we want to make sure that continues with every new hire.
