You're a hands‑on engineering leader who still enjoys getting close to the code. You care about clean domains, clear boundaries and systems that scale , not just shipping tickets. If that sounds like you, keep reading.
What you'll be doing
- Work with Product to shape upcoming work into clear, deliverable backlogs
- Guide solution design using Domain‑Driven Design, microservices and event‑driven architecture
- Set and enforce engineering standards, quality and best practices
- Stay hands‑on (15‑30%) where it matters – unblocking hard problems, setting patterns, raising the bar
- Mentor engineers through 1:1s, coaching and career development
- Own prioritisation, technical trade‑offs and incident response within your team
- Improve engineering processes to lift quality and reduce delivery risk
You won't be buried in admin, and you won't be a delivery manager. Your value is leverage.
What you bring
- ~8+ years software engineering experience, with strong depth in .NET
- Proven experience with DDD,
event‑driven systems and microservices
- A test‑driven, quality‑first mindset
- Experience leading engineers or teams (formal or informal)
- The confidence to make decisions and the maturity to lead opinionated engineers
- Clear communication with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders
Why this role is different
- You're trusted to own outcomes , not just manage people
- Architecture isn't theoretical – you influence real systems
- Leadership doesn't mean giving up engineering
- You'll work with solid peers (Product, Architects, Principal Engineers)
- Focus on long‑term system health , not short‑term heroics
The basics
- Permanent role
- Sydney‑based
- Hybrid working
- Technology‑led engineering environment
If you're ready to lead a team through complex domains, stay technical, and build systems you're proud of – this one's worth a look.
