Technical Lead | Build Software That Actually Matters

Up to $220k + Super (depending on experience)

Brisbane | Hybrid (3 days)

Ever built something just because you wanted to see if you could?

Maybe you've got a GitHub full of side projects. Maybe you've spent your weekend playing with AI tools just to see what they can automate. Maybe you've broken production once or twice... and learnt more from it than any course ever taught you.

If that's you, keep reading.

We're working with an Australian SaaS business whose platform is used by thousands of professionals every single day. Every feature you ship ends up in the hands of real users solving real-world problems.

No endless stakeholder meetings.

No feature factory.

No death by Jira tickets.

This is a genuine opportunity to lead technically, influence architecture and build software alongside engineers who genuinely care about writing quality code.

What you'll be doing

• Leading the technical direction of a modern cloud platform
• Designing scalable solutions and making architectural decisions
• Building new products and improving existing services
• Coaching and mentoring a talented engineering team
• Working closely with Product to shape what gets built, not just how
• Leveraging modern AI development tools to improve engineering velocity

Tech you'll be working with

• Ruby on Rails
• TypeScript
• Node.js
• React
• AWS
• CI/CD
• Modern engineering practices

We'd love to meet someone who

• Loves building software outside of work as much as inside it
• Has led technical decisions on production systems
• Is hands-on and still enjoys writing code
• Challenges ideas respectfully instead of simply agreeing
• Embraces AI-assisted development rather than fearing it
• Enjoys mentoring engineers and raising the bar
• Healthcare experience is a bonus, not a requirement.

What's in it for you?

• High-impact technical ownership
• A genuinely collaborative engineering culture
• Hybrid flexibility
• Dedicated innovation time for side projects and experimentation
• Long-term product challenges instead of short-term consulting
• Competitive salary and genuine career progression

If you're the kind of engineer who still builds because you love it, we'd love to chat.
