Cogent | Melbourne, Australia | Software Engineer | Full-time | Onsite | Visa Hi! I'm a developer who has been working at Cogent for the past 6 years and I love it here. I moved across the world for this job and I haven't regretted it for a second. Cogent is a lovely, warm and humane company. I've managed to convince my boss to let me travel the world and work remotely a couple of months per year. I also work part-time so that I can work on my videography business, and nobody raises an eyebrow at that. It's all very flexible! Cogent is kind of a consultancy. We have a vision of becoming "Melbourne's most loved maker of novel digital businesses". So a lot of what we do is based on working out of clients' offices. But we do other things as well. I spend my time working on a pretty damn cool electric car charger startup we've invested in. We're a values-driven company, which gives us benefits such as an open salaries model, profit share and a strong focus on work-life balance like the flexibility mentioned above. We also work with clients that align well with our values. Cogent is looking for mid-level and senior software developers with 5+ years of experience. We use Ruby and JS quite a bit, so commercial experience with those would make us go "ooooh!" If this sounds interesting, have a look at our site: https://cogent.co Or drop me an email to ask me about life at Cogent or in Australia: peter@cogent.co
