Analyst Developer / Technical Generalist for High Growth Startup (Remote, Part Time)
Microburbs — Transforming Australian Property Data
$30–$35/hr | Flexible | 20+ hrs/week
Do you want to build end-to-end solutions, not just write code?
Microburbs is looking for product-minded coders who love turning ideas into working software - fast. We’re not looking for narrow specialists. We want people who enjoy moving fluidly between backend, frontend, data, and growth - people who get a kick out of making things work and matter.
About Microburbs
Microburbs.com.au is a high-growth Australian proptech company that helps investors and homebuyers make smarter property decisions with data.
We’ve been growing 10% month-on-month for 15 months, and we’re still just getting started. Tens of thousands of investors use our insights every month.
Our founder Luke Metcalfe is a veteran data scientist who has previously built and sold two data companies - both focused on democratising access to complex information.
You’ll work closely with Luke and a small, high-performance team across engineering, AI, data science, marketing and product.
What You’ll Do
This isn’t a traditional dev role. You’ll wear many hats — sometimes in the same day.
Depending on your strengths, you might:
- Build and ship new product features end-to-end using Python, Flask, Webflow and modern frontend tools
- Automate data flows and build internal tools to make the team faster
- Work with AI APIs (OpenAI, Claude, etc.) to prototype smart user-facing features
- Analyse real estate and economic data
- Design, UX and interfaces
- Contribute to growth - e.g., by improving UX, conversion funnels, or analytics instrumentation
You’ll have autonomy to identify problems and the trust to solve them your way.
Who You Are
- You’ve built things that work - whether side projects, startups, or internal tools
- You’re excited to learn whatever tech gets the job done
- You think in systems and can connect technical decisions to user impact
- You can prioritise, move fast, and clean up as you go
- You’d rather ship something 90% perfect today than 100% next month
- Python coding experience
Nice-to-Haves
- Flask
- Pandas, Jupyter, or data analysis
- JavaScript/HTML (basic frontend or Webflow embedding)
- SQL / Postgres
- Linux familiarity (systemctl, cron, logs)
- AI integration experience (OpenAI API, etc.)
Why Microburbs
- Autonomy: You own features end to end
- Real impact: Your code directly helps people make multi-hundred-thousand-dollar decisions
- Learn fast: Work directly with an experienced founder and a high-output team
- Flexible: Choose your hours; we care about outcomes, not clock time
- Growth: Generous equity options given to all part time staff - we all win together
