We're REA
REA Group (https://www.rea-group.com/about-us/about-rea-group/) is not your average digital business. From humble beginnings in a garage in Melbourne’s east in 1995, we have grown into a leading global digital business, specialising in property.
With bold and ambitious goals, we are changing the way the world experiences property. No matter where you're at on your property journey, we're here to help with every step - whether that's finding or financing your next home.
Our people are the key to our success. At the heart of everything we do, is a thriving culture centred around high performance and care. We are purpose driven and collaborative, which drives innovation and our ability to make a real impact. As such, we’re proud to be named in Australia’s “Top 5” Best Workplaces two years in a row, as well as being recognised as a Best Workplace for Women.
Where the team fits in
The Listings tribe in the Agency Services group build and operate the systems that support REA’s ability to interact with customers from across the REA business.
The Listings Squads are responsible for the systems that power our listing ingestion and publication – both legacy and new, the evolving Partner Platform APIs as well as playing a key role in helping to drive a path for our customers away from legacy systems like Agent Admin and Agent Desktop and into new systems like Ignite. Programming languages in use by the team are primarily a combination of Scala and Ruby.
The Galvanise program serves the dual purpose of reducing REA’s risk exposure to the ageing Listings Platform and accelerating our customers’ adoption of our flagship customer-facing portal, Ignite.
