About GPK Group \n

Established in 1999, GPK Group stands at the forefront of Australia's IT industry, offering transformative solutions that go beyond traditional IT services. With a focus on empowering small and medium-sized businesses, GPK Group delivers expertise in cloud computing, cybersecurity, and specialised retail solutions, ensuring technology not only meets but anticipates the needs of its diverse clientele.

\n

GPK now has offices in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, providing solutions from IT support and Point of Sale software through to cloud technology and leading-edge security systems. We're growing fast, and we're using AI to do it. This role sits right at the centre of that shift.

About the Opportunity \n

We’re looking for a Software Developer to join our retail technology team in Hallam , VIC working closely with our Head of Retail on the next evolution of GPK's point-of-sale, inventory and ERP platform for our supermarket and retail clients.

\n

This isn’t a sit-and-code-all-day role. You’ll be converting an existing application into a new platform under a tight delivery timeframe, building out version 2 of our iOS app (already fully specced and ready to go), and helping bring our older core application up to a consistent modern standard. AI tools, Claude Code in particular, are central to how we work, and you’ll be expected to use them fluently to accelerate delivery, not just permitted to.

\n

You’ll work primarily in React and C#, with day-to-day autonomy but close collaboration with our Head of Retail and a small, distributed team of developers based across Melbourne, Perth and other locations. From time to time, you’ll also lend a hand with onsite or in-office hardware tasks, configuring self-serve checkouts and point-of-sale hardware, and pitch in on support tickets alongside the rest of the team. It’s a genuine all-rounder position for someone who wants more than a narrow developer brief.

\n

Responsibilities

\n

\n
• Developing and maintaining front-end, mobile (iOS and Android) and back-end applications using modern frameworks
\n
• Using AI tools to generate, iterate and refine code, while validating outputs for production quality
\n
• Building and maintaining secure, scalable RESTful APIs
\n
• Applying SQL Server database design best practice, including schema design and optimisation
\n
• Integrating third-party systems and services into retail platforms
\n
• Testing and QA'ing development work prior to handover and deployment
\n
• Assisting with onsite and in-office hardware configuration and installation as needed
\n
• Supporting and resolving customer tickets in collaboration with the wider team
\n
• Identifying opportunities to automate repetitive development and support tasks
\n

About You \n

To succeed in this role, you’ll have:

\n

\n
• Hands-on experience using AI coding tools (such as Claude or GitHub Copilot) as part of your regular development workflow
\n
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an outcome-focused approach to delivery
\n
• Confident, clear communication skills, with the ability to liaise easily with stakeholders and a geographically distributed team
\n
• A can-do attitude and willingness to get hands-on with occasional hardware or support tasks outside pure development work
\n
• The ability to work independently while collaborating closely with a small, senior team
\n
• Mobile development experience across iOS and Android, ideally with Flutter/Dart
\n
• Experience with Apple App Store and/or Google Play publishing processes
\n
• Background in retail, supermarket or point-of-sale systems, or an understanding of accounting principles
\n
• Exposure to Azure or other cloud deployment environments
\n

About the Benefits \n

• Choose between BYO device , tech allowance , or company gear
\n
• Free internet provided after probation
\n
• Wellness reimbursements for your gym, fitness and more
\n

\n
• Paid Friday in-office lunches
\n
• A hybrid working arrangement: 3 days in the office, 2 days from home

\n
• Real involvement in the growth of the business, including our newest major client partnership
