Everlab is building the platform to look after
people’s health for their entire lives. Not just an app, but the
infrastructure to connect every available healthcare service, give
people comprehensive data on their health, and deliver truly
personalised care. We’re growing extremely fast, the team is still
lean, the problems are genuinely hard, and we’re about to scale,
locally and globally. This is the moment to join. We’re hiring our
first Head of Engineering to help us get there. We are hybrid with
2-3 days a week in our office in Surry Hills. The Role This is a
newly created position, you’ll be the first Engineering leader at
Everlab, working directly with the Founder to shape how we build,
grow, and operate our engineering function. You’ll take ownership
of a team of 12 engineers across five squads (Platform, Supply,
Clinical Operations, Patient App, and Core Services) with clear
plans to scale to 30+ as we continue to grow. You won’t be writing
code every day, but you’ll be close enough to the technical work to
contribute to architecture discussions, guiding solution design,
and making the trade-offs that matter. We’ll invest in a thorough
onboarding and work closely with you in the early months. By 6–9
months, the goal is for you to be driving the engineering roadmap
and team operations. What You Will Do Lead and grow the engineering
team Own people management across all engineering squads:
performance, culture, hiring, and team structure. Mentor and
develop future Engineering Managers from within the team, building
leadership capability as we scale. Drive headcount planning and
hiring to take the team from 12 to 30+ engineers, without losing
the culture that makes us good. Stay close to the technical work
Participate meaningfully in architecture and solution design
discussions across squads. Help engineers navigate complex
technical trade-offs, not by prescribing answers, but by coaching
better thinking. Maintain enough technical depth to hold a
Principal Engineer accountable and earn the trust of the people
building.



Own delivery and accountability Be directly accountable
for the projects your teams are driving, including the Platform
DevOps team. Set and communicate clear engineering standards,
processes, and expectations as we scale. Partner with Product and
the Founder to translate business priorities into a coherent
engineering roadmap. Build what scale requires Design the team
structures, processes, and systems that let us grow without slowing
down. Apply what you’ve learned from previous scale-up journeys:
what to build now, what to wait on, and where to invest. Help us
expand infrastructure and platform capabilities to support new
cities and markets efficiently. What We’re Looking For Scale-up
experience: You’ve been through a genuine scale-up journey, either
in this exact role, or as an Engineering Manager or Team Lead who
lived through it. You understand what scaling actually looks like:
the trade-offs, the growing pains, and what good looks like on the
other side. This is a critical requirement. Technical credibility:
You’re not writing code day-to-day, but you’re still close enough
to architecture and system design to hold your own in any technical
discussion. You can coach engineers through solution design,
challenge assumptions, and make informed trade-offs. Think:
somewhere between a Principal Engineer and a seasoned Engineering
Manager. People leadership: You have a robust track record of
managing and developing engineering teams. You care about the
people, not just the output. You know how to give feedback, build
trust, and create the conditions for engineers to do their best
work. Startup experience: You’ve worked in early-stage or
high-growth environments before. You know how to move fast with




limited resources, and you’re comfortable with ambiguity. You don’t
need perfect information to make valuable decisions. Ownership mindset:
You operate with a high degree of autonomy. You don’t wait to be
told what to do. You identify the problems, build the plan, and
drive the outcome. Culture fit: You communicate clearly and
directly. You care more about team success than personal credit.
You disagree when it matters and commit once decisions are made.
You genuinely care about building something meaningful. Our five
squads Platform: DevOps, performance, and infrastructure. The
foundation everything else runs on. Supply: Integrations with
clinical services, diagnostics, bookings, and external APIs,
distributed systems, reliability at the edges. Clinical Operations:
Backend workflows for doctors and ops teams. Complex domain
modelling and deep collaboration with clinicians. Patient App:
Consumer-facing iOS, Android, and web. Real-time health data,
pixel-perfect UI, making complex clinical information feel simple.
Core Services: Payments, notifications, events, and the shared
infrastructure other squads build on. Why it's great to work at
Everlabs: Do work that matters: We’re building the future of
preventive health. Use your skills to prevent disease, improve
access to personalised care, and reduce pressure on the health
system. High-growth environment: 23x revenue growth since our Seed
round. We’ve found strong PMF early, and people who thrive on pace
and opportunity will love this stage. Work-life flexibility: Hybrid
working with 2–3 days in the office, plus flexibility to manage
life beyond the 9 to 5 when it matters. Experience Everlab as a
customer: Full access to the Everlab health program, provided after
successfully passing probation. Share in our success: Employee
Share Option Plan included as part of your total remuneration. We
grow together. People you’ll love working with: A welcoming,
mission-driven team of smart, thoughtful people doing meaningful
work.
