Company: MYOB provides tax, accounting, payment and other business services software to over a million small and medium businesses in Australia and New Zealand. The company is hiring lots of engineers this year. (Hence this post)
Tech We Use: Java, C#, Scala, Node, Kotlin, React, AWS, Kubernetes, Go, plus many others I can't think of right now... See our GitHub for some of our public repos: https://github.com/MYOB-Technology
I work on Scala + Node systems. I had a Java OO background so MYOB gave me lots of opportunity to learn functional programming, AWS systems and 2 programming languages!
Benefits: * Pay is competitive (Check Glassdoor for an idea as there is a lot of roles that will be opened) * 25 days off a year * Visa sponsorship * Up to 2 days working remotely * Personal learning budget * Mentors * Culture of learning and sharing what you know * Regular board game and other social nights
Jobs / Roles: I'm based in Melbourne but if Melbourne isn't for you, MYOB is in other locations such as Sydney, Australia and Auckland, New Zealand. Check out the MYOB jobs page: https://www.myob.com/au/careers

I think that this is a better platform than mobile as it supports multiple devices, user accounts are already setup, it's easy to test and it has built in notifications.
One thing I did have an issue with, is showcasing what it's features were. One option is to create a lot of videos and screenshots which would take a lot of time. As further improvements were made, I would have to reshoot the videos.
Instead, I created a React component to simulate interactions with a bot. The React component is here: http://sevenleaps.github.io/chat-template/
The website for the bot is: http://www.mrwgame.com/
I created a GIF sharing game bot with a few friends and we are going to apply and it'd be great to get this!
We'd love some feedback - http://mrwgame.com/
