Engineering Lead
The Opportunity:
This Australian SaaS business is delivering a major integration of its platform into a global technology partner's cloud offering.

With their workload ramping up, the business needs a hands-on Tech Lead to run a squad of 8 engineers. You'd own releases, oversee code reviews, and keep the roadmap on track across multiple workstreams.

There's at least 12 months of work mapped out, with the project kicking off in early December 2026.

What you'll be doing:

- Leading a team of eight: across application, platform and QA
- Owning releases end to end: planning, defect triage, code review and sign-off
- Reviewing everything the team ships in Go and PHP
- Steering the core workstreams: database migration, multi-tenancy, multi-cloud deployment and public API work
- Telling a defect from a change request, and saying so in writing, politely and firmly
- Shifting your day slightly for overlap with the partner's asian-based teams (early evening finishes - 6/7pm)

What you'll bring:

- Strong production Go, plus enough modern PHP to review it confidently
- 5+ years building production software,



including leading a small team delivering into a larger partner or enterprise customer on fixed release cycles
- MySQL or MariaDB on live systems: query tuning, schema changes and migrations
- Redis in production
- Daily use of Cursor or a similar AI IDE on production code, and the judgment to know where not to trust it (Cursor is used in the role)
- Multi-tenant SaaS experience

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
