Lyra Technologies Pty Ltd – Millers Point NSW

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 $80m 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.

We are looking for a Junior Forward Deployed Engineer who will complete defined software engineering tasks within a larger client project with support from more senior engineers. The position implements assigned application features and fixes, tests product behaviour, participates in pull-request review, responds to review feedback and reports progress and blockers to the engagement team.

The job description includes but not limited to:

- Implement assigned product features and changes
- Investigate and fix defects
- Product test changes and report findings




- Participate in pull request review and respond to feedback
- Review user reported issues and record work items
- Investigate implementation options
- Report progress and participate in team discussions

What we're looking for

- At least 1-3 years of experience in a similar role at other startups or software companies under your belt.
- High proficiency in full-stack engineering with Next.js / TypeScript and/or Python.
- 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.

Compensation & Growth

- $79,499 per year plus superannuation
- Transparent, level-based progression, fast promotions for high performers, with the ability to skip levels on skill.
- Merit-based raises tied to performance and contribution.
- 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.
