About the Role
n
Equiem is a global PropTech company transforming the way people experience buildings. We build products that power tenant engagement, space management, and community — used by some of the world's most prestigious real estate portfolios across Australia, Europe, and the US.
n
We're at an inflection point. With 14 years of platform foundation behind us and an ambitious AI-first product strategy ahead, we're investing in engineering leadership that can shape not just a squad but the way the entire organisation builds and ships software.
n
This is a senior Tech Lead role with a wider mandate than most. You'll own the architecture and delivery of our Engage squad — the core of our tenant-facing product — while serving as a thought leader on agentic AI-native development and cross-functional delivery across the whole engineering org. You'll operate as a trusted second voice to the Head of Engineering. If you're an engineer who thinks deeply about how teams build, not just what they build, this is the role.
n
What You'll Do
n
n
Own the architecture and technical direction of the Engage squad, from RFC to production.
n
Lead Equiem's adoption of agentic-first AI development — not as an enthusiast but as a practitioner who shapes how teams work with AI agents, spec-driven development, and AI-assisted workflows across the organisation.
n
Drive cross-functional delivery across product, design, and engineering — owning the coordination of initiatives and keeping senior stakeholders informed without being chased.
n
Mentor and grow engineers through design reviews, pairing,



and feedback that builds capability rather than just correcting mistakes.
n
Shape engineering direction beyond your squad — contributing to org-wide decisions on tooling, architecture patterns, and AI adoption.
n
Partner closely with product, Customer Success, and leadership as the primary engineering voice on your domain.
n
Participate in the on-call rotation for systems the Engage squad owns.
n
n
What We're Looking For
n
Essential
n
n
Strong hands-on Node.js and TypeScript background in production environments
n
Demonstrated experience with agentic AI development — you've shipped AI agent workflows and know how to govern them responsibly
n
Proven cross-functional delivery leadership
n
Experience leading technical design — RFCs, ADRs, architectural reviews — in a product-led team
n
Track record of growing engineers measurably, not just mentoring informally
n
Familiarity with federated APIs or microservices, ideally GraphQL
n
Cloud-native infrastructure experience (AWS preferred) and security fundamentals
n
Communication skills sharp enough to translate engineering tradeoffs for a non-technical stakeholder
n
n
Nice To Have
n
n
Familiarity with delivery methodologies (e.g. dual-track agile, Kanban)
n




React/Next.js frontend experience
n
Exposure to SOC2 or PCI DSS compliance in a delivery context
n
Background in B2B SaaS, PropTech, or globally distributed product teams
n
n
Our Stack
n
n
Backend: Node.js / TypeScript — Zero Framework (our internal Golden Path), federated GraphQL API.
n
Frontend: Next.js / React — Equiem One UI monorepo, React component library.
n
Auth & Identity: Auth0 Universal Login, OAuth 2.0 / SSO, OpenFGA.
n
Data Platform: Cortex event pipeline, AWS (Athena, Glue, OpenSearch), dbt, Metabase.
n
Infrastructure: AWS CDK, CircleCI, Dependabot.
n
Integrations: Stripe, Mailgun, Gallagher / OpenPath / SwiftConnect (access control).
n
n
Why You'll Love It Here
n
A mandate that goes beyond your squad — you'll shape how the whole engineering org adopts AI-native practices, not just run your own team well.
n
Genuinely interesting technical problems — Our own platform framework, federated GraphQL, an event-driven data platform, and a roadmap that's moving fast.
n
The AI-first inflection point is real — we're not talking about AI adoption, we're doing it, and this role is at the centre of it.
n
Autonomy and trust — hybrid work, flexible hours, a team that measures outcomes not hours.
n
Transparent path to Staff Engineer or Head of Engineering, with structural clarity to get there.
n
Flexible hybrid work, wellbeing leave, paid parental leave, EAP, leadership development, and world-class Melbourne offices.
n
Salary
n
Please note: Salary: $180,000–$200,000
