- Comfortable reviewing code, mentoring engineers and contributing to technical decisions.
- A product-focused mindset with the ability to balance technical quality and business priorities.

Experience with Go, Prisma, infrastructure as code, Vercel, GitHub Actions or monorepo architectures would be beneficial.

What's on offer

- $160,000–$180,000 + super.
- Flexible working arrangements with occasional Melbourne team meetups.
- Opportunity to work closely with the Engineering Lead and influence technical direction.
- Modern technology stack and AI-assisted development environment.
