About the role
Build and ship features for a production web platform in TypeScript, React, Hono and MySQL, deployed on AWS with infrastructure as code. You’ll own work from database to UI, use AI tools like Claude to research, write and review code, and see what you build used by real people every day, with flexible hours that fit around your studies.

About us
BM Spares recycles components from damaged BMWs and sells them to dealers, independent mechanics and drivers. Our business runs on software we build in-house. It covers sales and inventory: it tracks every part we hold, pushes stock to our website, and connects with freight carriers and industry inventory systems. You’ll share an office with the people who use it every day, so feedback is immediate, in a unique workplace full of performance cars and parts.
What you’ll do
- Build and improve features across the full stack, mostly in TypeScript
- Translate Figma designs into code, applying UI/UX best practice
- Integrate with external services such as freight carriers and inventory systems
- Set up development environments and ship changes through CI/CD
- Deploy and host on AWS using infrastructure as code (AWS CDK)
- Manage dependencies and packages, watching for updates and preparing for breaking changes
- Use AI strategically to research, write code and solve problems, and review what it produces
Our stack
- Language: TypeScript
- Front end: React, Vite
- Back end: Hono, Zod
- Database: MySQL, Drizzle ORM
- Infrastructure: AWS, AWS CDK, Docker, GitHub Actions (CI/CD)
Who we’re looking for
A student who builds things for fun, not just for assignments.
- Studying a Bachelor of Information Technology (Software Development major), Computer Science, or a comparable degree
- Finishing or finished first year of study
- Reliable, curious, and willing to ask when stuck
- Able to work in person in Dandenong, with the right to work in Australia
What you’ll get
- Real production experience. Your code runs a live business every day, not a class project.
- Fast feedback. See your ideas shipped quickly and tested in the real world by the people sitting next to you.
- Flexibility. More days over summer, fewer during semester, and time off around exams.
- A proven pathway. Our two previous Monash student developers each stayed 2–3 years while studying, then moved into roles at NAB and Leidos.
