Permanent Role - Up to $240,000 + Super + Bonus
Sydney-based, hybrid working

The role at a glance:
Senior Director, Engineering & Quality - leading a function of 50+ across Sydney and the US, with offshore squads across Asia and South America
Three Directors reporting to you across Engineering and QA - including vacancies you'll hire yourself
Full stack (Node.js) product engineering workplace, plus data/analytics and DevOps in remit
Continuous product releases every few weeks into live client settings - this is genuine end-to-end product delivery, not internal IT
Own the quality strategy: engineering‑led test automation, deployment automation, release discipline

What we need in the right person - and we'll be upfront here:
A hands‑on developer by background who's grown into leading engineering functions - engineering is the main focus here, and any QA leadership exposure alongside it is a real advantage
To be explicit:



this isn't a hands‑on coding role. Your value is in the detail with your Directors and leads - release quality, engineering maturity, how the function scales - not in the codebase
Current or recent Head of Engineering / Senior Director leading multiple squads in parallel, building custom client‑facing software - ideally SaaS
Proven experience uplifting engineering maturity - not inheriting a machine that already ran well
A leader of leaders, with the people leadership to build high‑performing teams at this scale whilst staying out of the weeds
The presence to push back - on senior stakeholders, on enterprise clients challenging your engineering practices.

Please note: Candidates must be Australian permanent residents or citizens to apply for this opportunity.
