Description

Gentrack is growing, and our APAC engineering organisation is evolving with it.

We’re looking for a Director of Engineering APAC who wants to do more than lead an established function. This is an chance to shape how engineering operates across the region — strengthening our leadership capability, improving delivery and quality, embracing AI-enabled ways of working, and building an organisation ready to scale.

You’ll inherit talented teams and experienced engineering leaders. There’s also plenty to do. We’re looking for someone who enjoys that combination: someone who can challenge the way things are done, simplify where complexity has crept in, and bring people with them as we build a stronger, more effective engineering organisation.

This is a significant leadership role reporting to the VP of Engineering APAC, with influence across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and India.

About Gentrack

For more than 35 years, Gentrack has been helping utilities around the world transform the way they operate.

Today, more than 60 energy and water companies rely on our technology. Working alongside partners including Salesforce and AWS, we’re helping lead the next phase of transformation through g2.0 — our end-to-end product-to-profit solution.

What makes our work particularly meaningful is the impact behind it. Energy and water are two of the planet’s most important resources, and the technology we build helps organisations deliver better outcomes for their customers,



their communities and the environment.

Our Culture Is Grounded In Three Simple Values

- Respect for the planet
- Respect for our customers
- Respect for each other

We’re a team of smart thinkers and dedicated doers. We ask questions, share knowledge, challenge ourselves to find better ways of working and care about delivering quality outcomes. We’re collaborative by nature and believe great technology starts with great people.

About The Opportunity

As Director of Engineering APAC, you’ll provide regional leadership across our Delivery Engineering organisation, with direct responsibility for Engineering Managers and our Enablement team of technical experts.

Working closely with another Director of Engineering, you’ll share responsibility across Data, Integration, Operations, BAU and Projects.

Your focus will be on creating the conditions for engineering teams and leaders to do their best work — with clear priorities, strong leadership, predictable delivery, high engineering standards and a culture of continuous improvement.

You’ll connect our APAC priorities with Gentrack’s broader global engineering strategy and play an important role in shaping what our engineering organisation needs to look like for its next stage of growth.
