At Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) our purpose is to'open up the world for those who want to see'. Every day, we give people all around the world the opportunity to experience something amazing – travel

As a Technical Lead, you will own the technical delivery of a squad, partnering with product owners, engineers, and stakeholders to deliver scalable, secure solutions that drive real business outcomes. You'll navigate complex technical challenges, influence architectural direction, and help build a high-performing engineering culture.

Every Flight Centre Corporate booking, whether air, land or sea, ends in two places: a ticket in a traveller’s hands, and an invoice that has to be right. Our team owns both. We run the service that tickets bookings, now growing from Australia to anywhere in the world, and we’re modernising the finance systems behind them, moving off legacy platforms onto one connected foundation with less manual work and fewer handoffs. Whether a customer books online or a Travel Consultant builds it by hand, it all runs through what we build, so reliability is the job. You’ll help shape a platform that’s going global and getting simpler, with real impact on every traveller and every team that relies on it.

Day to day:

- Lead large,



complex software initiatives from design through to delivery

- Apply cloud best practices across governance, performance, and cost management
- Explore and introduce proven emerging technologies, including AI-assisted development practices
- Lead design, code, and architecture reviews that improve quality and consistency
- Mentor and coach engineers while supporting hiring, onboarding, and capability development
- Manage technical debt, contribute to squad roadmaps, and coordinate releases across dependent teams

You'll be perfect for the role if you have:

- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, including senior engineering or tech lead responsibilities
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
- Proven experience delivering scalable, high-performance cloud-based systems and leading complex projects with ambiguous requirements
