Lyra started with a straightforward act.
A group of engineers helped their roommates build a product from scratch.
Six weeks later that product launched.
Shortly after, it raised over $2M in a pre-seed round.
That company was Paraform (now raised $65m series B).
And that moment was the reason Lyra exists.
Since then we have become a collective of 70+ top-tier engineers across Australia, partnering with 50+ startups across Silicon Valley to build, design, and ship products that matter.
Our mission is simple: build, teach, and grow.
Join Australia's top engineering talent, building software for Silicon Valley startups.
About the Role
As an entry-level engineer, you embed directly with a partnered client startup and take end-to-end ownership of a workstream.
You're given the opportunity to make the technical calls, commit on timelines, and deliver outcomes the founder cares about - without the pressure that a typical FDE would take on.




This isn't a ramp-up role.
You're generating value from week one: debugging deep in the client's systems without flailing, and providing value to clients drama-free.
What we're looking for
Proficiency in full-stack engineering with Next.js / TypeScript and/or Python
High achievement in academics or extracurriculars
You are curious about how things work and have innate ability to problem solve - this is crucial as you won't always have the information you need to move forward
Strong client-facing communication
Based in Australia
Free catering daily, plus drinks and snacks provided.
Access to our Silicon Valley VC & founder network.
Hybrid work with access to our Barangaroo office.
Weekly sports and activities funded by Lyra.
