Senior IT Operations Engineer

Company Description

Whether you’re working from home or on your way to the office, chances are you’re probably reading this because you’re seeking a new adventure, or you’re up for a new challenge. GROW Inc might just be that for you!

So, who is GROW Inc?

Founded in 2016, we’re the Australian FinTech success story solving major problems in the Superannuation and Managed Funds industries. The administration platforms (the software that tracks everything to do with your super and investments) that you see today are built on things you or your parents would recognise from the glory days of 90’s computing - we're revamping the way this is done through modern, powerful technology to create a better experience for you and every other Australian.

How are we doing it?

We’re solving this by disrupting the wealth management industry with DLTA, our platform built on Distributed Ledger Technology. We’re making super and investments more timely and making the information more accessible whilst enabling wealth management companies to offer more cost effective solutions: all with the goal of improving the financial wellbeing of all Australians.

Now with over 1 million Australians using our technology every day, we're ramping up as we build new products and enter new industries, and we're looking for talented, driven people (just like yourself!) to join us.

We’re rebels with a cause. We’re authentic, diverse, and we embrace our differences as we continue to put a dent in the universe. We know diversity of thought helps us to build better solutions for our customers which is why we encourage the entire GROW team to bring their whole selves to work each and every day.
