Minfy is hiring a Director of Engineering to lead technical delivery across all of our Australia and Recent Zealand engagements — cloud migration, application and data modernisation, data platforms, AI, and the emerging agentic AI work that's starting to reshape what customers ask us for.

This is the senior technical role in the region. It's hands-on, customer-facing, and accountable for whether what we deliver actually works.

About Minfy

Minfy is an applied AI and technology services company with deep AWS, cloud, data and engineering capability. We're an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner and Managed Service Provider, supporting customers from advisory and migration through modernisation, AI implementation and ongoing managed operations. Our engineering bench spans multiple geographies; this role leads the technical front line in ANZ and connects it to that wider capability.

The opportunity

Our ANZ portfolio spans the full arc of enterprise cloud work. A customer lands with a migration, moves into modernisation, discovers their data foundations won't support what they want next, and by the following year is asking for agentic systems that touch production. The same technical judgement has to hold across all of it.

You'll own that judgement. Architecture standards, delivery quality, technical escalation, engineering practice and the senior technical relationship with customers — across every project we run in the region. You'll lead the hardest engagements personally, set the patterns the rest reuse, and build the Australian engineering team as the portfolio grows.

You'll work closely with AWS solution architects and partner teams, with our Australian sales team on pursuits, and with delivery leaders across the group.





This is a builder's role. The ANZ practice is early by design — you'll shape how it works rather than inherit something fixed.

What you'll do

- Own technical delivery across the full ANZ portfolio — migration, application and infrastructure modernisation, data platforms, AI and agentic AI
- Set and enforce architecture standards, engineering practice and quality gates across all engagements
- Lead solution architecture on complex pursuits — discovery through design, estimation and statement of work
- Stay hands-on: review designs and code, unblock teams, and take personal delivery lead on the engagements that warrant it
- Own technical escalation and delivery health across projects — scope, schedule, quality and delivery risk
- Build and grow the Australian engineering team, and partner with our offshore delivery teams so the two operate as one
- Develop reusable reference architectures, accelerators and delivery patterns across migration, modernisation, data and AI
- Set the bar on security, cost efficiency, observability, testing and production readiness
- Act as senior technical authority with customers, including executive and CIO-level stakeholders
- Work with AWS solution architects, field teams and partner stakeholders on joint technical planning and co-sell




- Support pre-sales with credible technical positioning, feasibility assessment and honest delivery risk judgement
- Feed delivery learning back into how Minfy sells, scopes and staffs work in the region

What you'll bring

- Significant engineering experience with a track record of technical leadership in consulting, services or enterprise environments
- Breadth across the delivery lifecycle — you've led migrations and modernisation programmes, not only greenfield builds
- Deep AWS expertise across compute, networking, security, data and AI services
- Strong data engineering foundations — pipelines, warehousing and lakehouse architecture, streaming, governance and quality
- Practical experience taking AI and ML workloads into production, including LLM-based and generative AI systems
- Genuine interest in agentic AI and a realistic view of where it works today and where it doesn't
- Demonstrated ability to lead engineers and raise engineering standards, not only to architect on paper
- Confidence with customers: you can hold a technical conversation with a CIO and a code review with a senior engineer in the same day
- Sound commercial judgement — you understand effort, risk and what a realistic estimate looks like
- Comfort in a fast-moving environment where the playbook is still being written

Nice to have

- Experience at AWS, an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner or a comparable cloud consultancy
- AWS certifications at Professional or Specialty level
- Background working with distributed or offshore delivery teams
- Experience in regulated Australian or New Zealand industries — financial services, health, government or utilities
