At Dynamoney, we're on a journey to become the lender of choice for Australian SMEs, helping business owners access the funding they need to grow, adapt, and succeed. Our customers are at the heart of everything we do; their goals, challenges, and experiences shape how we design our products, deliver our services, and guide our decision-making.

Position Purpose The Head of Engineering owns Dynamoney's software engineering function and technology estate, including the IT Service Desk, and is accountable for the delivery, architecture, quality, resilience and security of the platforms supporting the lending business.

This is a hands-on leadership role, directly leading developers while remaining technically credible in design, code review and complex problem-solving. The role also owns the technology roadmap, engineering operating model and vendor relationships, connecting commercial priorities with technical execution across in-house development, platform configuration and vendor delivery.

Key Responsibilities Hands-On Technical Leadership

Set and own the architecture for the platform estate – integration patterns, data flows, API design, and service boundaries – documenting decisions and their trade-offs so they can be challenged and revisited when required.

Contribute personally to design and code on the highest-risk and highest-complexity components, reference implementations, and technical spikes, maintaining the technical credibility on which the role depends.

Lead design and code review, holding the team to explicit engineering standards covering testing, security-by-design, observability, and maintainability.

Own the CI/CD pipeline and engineering toolchain, driving automation of build, test,



and deployment to reduce release risk and shorten cycle time.

Lead production incident response as the senior technical escalation point and drive root-cause remediation through to closure rather than accepting symptomatic fixes.

Manage technical debt deliberately maintaining a visible, prioritised and costed remediation backlog, and negotiating its funding alongside feature delivery.

Team Leadership and Capability Development

Leadership of the development team – objective setting, performance and career management and coaching.

Work closely with People and Culture wrt recruitment and onboarding for the function, to deliver the roadmap and building a credible hiring pipeline.

Establish delegated technical leadership within the team, developing at least one senior engineer capable of deputising on architecture and delivery decisions.

Build resilience and succession depth, eliminating single points of knowledge through documentation, pairing, and deliberate rotation across the estate.

Run effective delivery rituals, partnering with Product Owners to convert prioritised backlogs into predictable throughput and removing impediments decisively.

Lead the IT Service Desk function, setting service standards, priorities, escalation paths and accountability for resolving incidents and requests.

Technology Strategy and Architecture





Own a rolling 12-18-month technology roadmap aligned to business strategy, sequencing platform, integration, and infrastructure investment.

Lead build, buy, and configure assessments, providing rigorous, evidence-based recommendations on total cost of ownership, delivery risk, and long-term optionality.

Define the target technology architecture and the migration path to it from the current estate, making transition states explicit, sequenced, and fundable.

Design the engineering operating model ie how it interfaces with product, transformation, operations, risk, and vendor partners and evolves it as the function scales.

Maintain awareness of emerging technology relevant to non-bank lending, including AI-assisted engineering and decisioning, open banking, payments, and cloud-native platform patterns, and translate it into practical recommendations.

Vendor and Commercial Management

Own the technical relationship with platform and implementation vendors, holding them to contracted scope, quality standards, and delivery commitments.

Lead technical due diligence in vendor selection, covering architecture fit, integration effort, security posture, extensibility, and exit and portability considerations.

Govern vendor-delivered change to the same engineering standards applied to in-house build, including code and configuration review where contractually available.

Manage the engineering budget across cloud, licensing, tooling, and contracted capacity.

Contribute to business cases and investment proposals for technology investment, providing analytical rigour, credible estimates, and explicit articulation of expected value and risk.
