A profitable, global technology company is entering its next phase of growth — and investing seriously in engineering leadership to get there. We're looking for a hands-on Senior Tech Lead to own architecture and delivery for a core product squad, act as a trusted right hand to the Head of Engineering, and set the standard for agentic AI-native development across the wider engineering team.
This isn't a typical Tech Lead role. You'll be hands-on enough to shape technical direction and review code, but your influence won't stop at your own squad — you'll help govern how AI tooling is adopted org-wide, mentor engineers at every level, and be a genuine thought leader on how modern engineering teams should build and ship.
What you'll do:
- Own architecture, technical design, and delivery for your squad, writing RFCs/ADRs and leading incident response when things break.
- Lead the adoption of agentic AI development practices — not as a tool user, but as a practitioner shaping how the team works with AI agents, spec-driven development, and AI-assisted code review.
- Coach and grow engineers at all levels, raising the quality bar through design reviews and proactive standards.
- Partner closely with product and design to translate technical tradeoffs into business outcomes.
- Act as a trusted deputy to the Head of Engineering in cross-functional forums.
What you'll bring:
- Strong hands-on Node.js/TypeScript background in production environments.
- Real experience shipping agentic AI development workflows and the governance around them — not just experimenting.
- Proven leadership of cross-functional, multi-team delivery, with senior stakeholders kept informed without being chased.
- Experience leading technical design (RFCs, ADRs, architectural reviews) in an agile product team.
- A genuine coaching mindset — you get energy from growing the people around you.
Nice to have: React/Next.js, GraphQL, AWS, exposure to compliance frameworks like SOC2/PCI DSS.
What's on offer:
- Hybrid working (2 days/week from a great Melbourne CBD office), flexible hours, and a team that values outcomes over optics.
- Real influence from day one, with a clear path to Staff/Principal Engineer.
- Wellbeing leave, paid parental leave, EAP, and leadership development support.
This role is based in Melbourne CBD and requires 2 days week in office. To be considered for position, applicants must have full working rights and be based in (or willing to relocate to) Melbourne.
