About REA Group:

In 1995, in a garage in Melbourne, Australia, REA Group was born from a easy question: “Can we change the way people experience property?”

Thirty years later, REA Group is a global digital real estate leader operating across multiple continents, building large-scale, consumer-facing platforms used by millions every day.

Our success comes from staying true to a day-one mindset—combining innovation, curiosity, and long-term thinking to evolve complex systems that power critical customer journeys.

REA Cyber City is an extension of REA Group’s global technology organisation. Teams here work closely with counterparts in Australia and other regions to design, build, and operate core platforms and capabilities. Engineers in Cyber City contribute directly to REA’s long-term technology strategy, solving real-world problems at scale and shaping systems that need to perform, adapt, and endure over time.
