Job Description
A LITTLE ABOUT US
When it comes to food experience, me&u helps you always feel like a local. The company’s vision is to bring that feeling to everyone, anywhere - so no matter what neighbourhood you live in or visit, you’ll always know the perfect place to go and exactly what to order.
me&u is used by 6000+ bars, pubs, and restaurants to create memorable guest experiences and grow their brands. With 200 staff in five countries, and headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, me&u is the consolidation of two leading hospitality technology companies: Mr Yum and me&u, who merged in November 2023.
About The Role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer (SRE/DevOps) to strengthen our reliability, scalability, and developer experience. This isn’t a traditional sysadmin role – we’re after someone with a software engineering background who can design, build, and run systems at scale.
You’ll focus on Azure infrastructure, automation, and observability, while also writing code and collaborating with product teams to make our systems more reliable and performant.
What You’ll Do
Ensure system reliability, performance, and scalability across production environments
Build automation for monitoring, alerting, deployments, and incident response
Lead post-incident reviews and implement preventive improvements
Design infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines
Collaborate with engineering teams to balance feature delivery with stability
Write and review code to support tooling, infrastructure, and product reliability
What You’ll Need
Experience with Azure and cloud-native services
Proficiency with Docker/Kubernetes
Hands-on experience with monitoring/observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, etc.)
Knowledge of infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, etc.)
Solid programming background (Node.js/TypeScript, C#, Python, or similar)
Experience with relational/NoSQL databases and REST APIs
Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and communication skills
Nice to Have
Experience with distributed systems, load testing, or chaos engineering
Familiarity with microservices, TDD, or frontend basics (React, HTML/CSS/JS)
Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and Agile development practices
Why me&u
Work with impact and purpose. We’re helping the hospitality and entertainment industries to thrive and me&u is at the forefront of this. Expect collaboration and interesting problems to solve.
Work with great people. Work alongside a supportive, diverse and inclusive team. You’ll have the trust, freedom and support to experiment and not be afraid of failure but to learn from it...and have fun together along the way.
Work that challenges you. We’re growing quickly, and you will too. You’ll have numerous opportunities to embrace discomfort, grow and learn as me&u expands and scales globally.
Work that works for you. We’re a flexible, remote-friendly place with inclusive leave options and day-to-day work times to suit your routine. We prioritise our team’s mental health & overall wellbeing, with access to mental health days and support programs.
Diversity and Inclusion Commitment
We’re committed to growing and empowering an inclusive me&u community. That’s why we actively encourage applications from candidates from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. If you require accessibility assistance at any stage of the process, please let us know.
