Are you ready to shape the future of engineering in a fast-growing, product-led SaaS organisation? We're looking for a visionary Engineering Lead to lead our high-performing teams, define strategy, and deliver lasting impact for customers and the business.

As our Engineering Lead, you will:

  1. Set the vision & strategy: Define our multi-year engineering strategy, turning company objectives into clear priorities with measurable outcomes.
  2. Lead leaders, not tasks: Build and grow a strong leadership bench—hiring, coaching, and inspiring managers and principals to deliver their best.
  3. Drive delivery & governance: Oversee portfolio governance, ensuring smooth planning, execution, and accountability across teams.
  4. Shape technology direction: Define architectural principles and a 12–24 month platform roadmap that balances innovation, reliability, scalability, and risk.
  5. Champion quality & compliance: Set engineering standards, enforce secure-by-design policies, and ensure audit readiness, business continuity, and disaster recovery.
  6. Embrace AI-first engineering: Institutionalize AI-assisted practices, ensuring adoption is ethical, compliant, and productivity-driven.
  7. Be the voice of engineering: Represent the function in executive forums, customer conversations, and strategic vendor relationships.
  8. Steward financials: Lead engineering budget planning, cloud cost efficiency, and ROI measurement for platform and tooling investments.

You're an inspiring technology leader with a proven record of scaling engineering organizations in SaaS. You bring:

  • 10+ years in senior engineering leadership
  • Proven success scaling teams in SaaS / remote-first environments
  • Strong architectural & investment decision-making skills
  • Secure-by-design & compliance literacy
  • Experience driving AI-augmented engineering adoption

Why Join Us?

  • A chance to lead at the executive level and make big, strategic decisions.
  • Opportunity to shape the future of AI-powered engineering.
  • A remote-first, inclusive culture that values trust, accountability, and psychological safety.
  • Collaboration with world-class peers across Product, Solutions, and AI/Data.
  • Flexible work anywhere in Australia, with occasional travel for key events and customer interactions.

If you're a strategic, people-first technology leader who thrives at the intersection of innovation, reliability, and impact—we'd love to hear from you.
