ABOUT THE COMPANY

My client is a fast-growing scaleup with a platform that has serious traction and a large, established customer base across Australia and New Zealand. They’re building software that gets used every single day with real scale. 

THE ROLE

This is a senior hands-on technical leadership role for someone who wants to own the engineering function and grow into a Head of Development. You’ll lead from the front — setting technical direction, mentoring the team, and staying deeply involved in the code. If you’re looking to step back from hands-on work, this isn’t the role. If you want to step up and own something meaningful, it is.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

  • Technical leadership and direction across the full stack
  • Hands-on development across Microsoft technologies and Azure cloud
  • Architecture decisions, code quality, and engineering standards
  • CI/CD pipelines and Azure DevOps practices
  • Mentoring and uplifting the broader engineering team
  • Collaborating with product on delivery, priorities, and roadmap

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

  • 10+ years of software development experience (15+ preferred)
  • Strong Microsoft stack — ASP.NET WebForms, MVC, WCF, Web API
  • Azure cloud experience
  • SSO, OAuth2, JWT
  • jQuery and Bootstrap
  • MongoDB or other NoSQL databases (CouchDB, Couchbase or similar)
  • Git and Azure CI/CD
  • Strong grasp of software design patterns and the full SDLC
  • Figma or equivalent UI/UX tooling experience
  • Active user of AI tools to accelerate development velocity

WHO YOU ARE

  • A hands-on leader — nothing is too small or too big
  • High ownership mindset; you take responsibility and drive outcomes
  • Proven tenure — you’ve committed to organisations and seen things through
  • Hard-working, detail-oriented, and passionate about the craft
  • Looking to grow, not just maintain

If this sounds like the right next step, apply now or reach out directly — we’d love to hear from you.
