We're partnering with a fast-growing digital bank that is significantly expanding its technology capability and building out a new Sydney engineering team.
This is a genuinely hands-on Lead Software Engineer role for someone who wants to stay close to the code while also helping shape/hire the team, build engineering standards and guide technical direction.
You'll be working directly with the CTO and taking ownership of software that supports new products, customer growth and a broader digital transformation.
What you'll be doing
- Lead a small team while remaining around 50–75% hands-on
- Build and deliver across C#, .NET, React and Azure
- Own features from design through to production
- Help shape engineering standards and ways of working
- Work directly with senior technology and business stakeholders
- Contribute to architecture and technical decision-making
- Help hire and develop additional engineers as the Sydney team grows
- Build scalable APIs and services supporting a growing digital platform
