About ROLLER

ROLLER isn’t your average SaaS company. We operate globally across 30+ countries, powering millions of real-world experiences in the leisure and attractions industry. What we build doesn’t just live on a screen. It shows up in busy venues, peak weekends, and unforgettable moments for guests.

Our mission is simple but ambitious: help operators run better businesses while creating great guest experiences. That means solving complex, real-world problems across ticketing, point of sale, self-service, memberships, kiosks, and digital waivers, all at meaningful scale.

Just as importantly, it’s the people. We’re a team of 300+ smart, grounded, and genuinely passionate humans working across the globe. We care about quality, ownership, and doing work we’re proud of, without taking ourselves too seriously.

We’re growing fast, aiming high, and building something that matters. If you want to work on real problems, with real customers, alongside people who care deeply about their craft and impact, ROLLER is a great place to do it.

Why You'll Enjoy This Role!

🚀 Real Scale, Real Consequence - If you want your judgment to matter, this is the place. ROLLER is a global, rapidly scaling SaaS business backed by Insight Partners. In 2025, we powered 90 million guest experiences across those 35 countries and we’re growing fast towards 1 billion experiences a year. When things go wrong at this scale, the impact is real: lost revenue for operators and poor experiences for guests who are meant to be having fun, celebrating birthdays, or spending time with friends. The systems you design, build, and operate genuinely matter.

💻 Real-World Complexity, Not Toy Problems - This role suits engineers who enjoy problems shaped by the real world.  You’ll work on high-impact capabilities. Getting it right means venues run smoothly. Getting it wrong shows up immediately.

🧠 Depth Over Churn - Rather than bouncing between unrelated features, you’ll go deep on a clearly defined problem space. That depth rewards strong technical judgment, careful consideration of downstream impact, and a long-term view of quality.

Why You Want To Work With Us!

❤️ Loved by Customers - ROLLER is consistently highly rated on Capterra and G2, and trusted by leading operators worldwide. That doesn’t happen by accident. Customer obsession isn’t a value on a wall here, it’s embedded in how we prioritise, build, and measure success.

🏆 A Great Place People Choose to Stay - We’ve been Great Place to Work certified across multiple regions for several years running. That reflects a culture that values trust, autonomy, and growth, and an environment where high standards and psychological safety coexist. ROLLER ranks in the top 5% of sales organisations to work for on RepVue!

💸 Competitive Package & Real Career Growth - We offer competitive compensation and benefits aligned to the level of ownership we expect. As ROLLER scales, so do the opportunities. People grow here by taking on bigger problems, broader scope, and greater responsibility. Progression is driven by impact and capability, not tenure, and strong performance is recognised and rewarded.

Why This Role Matters

As a vital member of our Product & Tech Team, you will utilise your expertise to work within our ecosystem of applications, services and infrastructure using a combination of C#, Angular, Typescript, T-SQL and harness the multitude of services offered by AWS including Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3, SES and SQS.

You’ll work with an AI-augmented engineering environment, leveraging agentic workflows, LLM-powered tools, and automation to accelerate development and expand product capabilities. We place a strong emphasis on deep technical understanding and ownership. You’re expected to understand, validate and take responsibility for what AI produces. In this role, you’ll also design and build AI-powered features and systems that deliver smarter, more adaptive user experiences.

Like all Engineering roles at ROLLER, this position follows a hybrid work model - 3 days per week in our office located in the Sydney CBD, with flexibility to work remotely for the remainder of the week. Many of our Engineers also choose to spend additional time in the office to collaborate and connect with the team in person.

What You'll Do

You will build elegant solutions with code to solve problems and contribute directly to the success of our customers by:

• Designing, building and maintaining secure, scalable, production-grade software across the stack.
• Leading integration-heavy initiatives (APIs, third party providers, complex workflows), including defining contracts, handling edge cases, and building robust failure models.
• Owning technical quality end-to-end: testing strategy, observability, performance, reliability, rollout safety, and incident response for your areas.
• Driving pragmatic engineering execution: breaking down ambiguous problems into incremental deliverables with a bias toward shipping and learning.
• Promoting quality through software craftsmanship, agile best practices, and continuous delivery/deployment techniques.
• You have hands-on experience using AI in coding/programming to drive greater impact.

About You

• Strong experience building and shipping full-stack software in a modern SaaS environment.
• Experience with C# .NET (web APIs) and designing/consuming APIs in distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience using AI tools in software development.
• Exposure to integration work: third-party systems, payments-like workflows, compliance/regulatory domains, or similarly complex ecosystems.
• Solid front-end fundamentals (Angular/TypeScript experience).
• Comfortable with SQL and data modelling.
• Strong engineering craft: clean design, testing, debugging, security mindset, and reliability.
• Curious, collaborative, and comfortable working with teammates distributed across time zones.

We believe AI is a career-defining inflection point. ROLLER is a fast adopter of new technology like AI, and every team member is empowered to own their learning and use the latest tools to supercharge their impact. We’re looking for candidates with the proficiency and curiosity to embrace AI and technology — not just as a technical skill, but as a core competency to help us achieve big goals.

Perks!

• You'll get to work on a category-leading product that customers love in a fun, high-growth industry! Check our Capterra and G2 reviews.
• ROLLER Recharge days to celebrate and recharge once we’ve hit our goals
• Engage in our 'Vibe Tribe' - led by our team members; you can contribute to company-wide initiatives directly. Regular events and social activities, fundraising & cause-related campaigns...you name it. We're willing to make it happen!
• Team Member Assistance Program to proactively support our team's health and wellbeing - access to coaching, education modules, weekly webinars, and more.
• 16 weeks paid Parental Leave for primary carers and 4 weeks paid Parental Leave for secondary carers.
• Work with a driven, fun, and switched-on team that likes to raise the bar in all we do!
