Job Description

Lyra Technologies Pty Ltd – Millers Point NSW

n

Lyra started with a simple 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.

n

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 straightforward: build, teach, and grow. Join Australia's top engineering talent, building software for Silicon Valley startups.
