Principal Engineer – Build for Scale, Lead with Impact

Do you love tackling technical puzzles that others shy away from? Do you thrive in an environment where your decisions don’t just matter—they define the future? If you're the kind of engineer who balances vision with precision and relishes the opportunity to lead, we’ve got the perfect role for you.

Thriving SaaS company, building innovative cloud-based solutions that power real-world success stories. As our Principal Engineer (2IC to CTO), you’ll steer the architectural helm, drive innovation, and mentor a talented team—all while solving some of the most intriguing challenges in the business.

This isn’t a role for just anyone—it’s for someone who’s been in the trenches of large-scale, reputable businesses. You know what good engineering looks like because you’ve lived it. You’ve navigated scaling systems, balanced technical and business priorities, and collaborated with top-tier stakeholders.

Why This Role?

We know you have options, but here’s why this is worth exploring:

• Most senior technical position: You’ll be the 2IC to the CTO, a trusted advisor, and the go-to person for driving the technical direction of the company.
• Real ownership: You won’t just influence decisions—you’ll own them. Your work will have a tangible, long-term impact.
• Complex challenges: This isn’t maintenance work. It’s solving puzzles that matter, architecting for scale, and delivering systems that others admire.
• Equity on the horizon: Along with a competitive salary, equity is under active discussion and expected to be in play within the next year, giving you a stake in the company’s success.
• Growth with purpose: Lead with autonomy, grow your leadership, and help define how we do engineering—not just now, but in the future.

Here’s what makes this role exciting:

• Architect the Big Picture: You’ll be the strategist behind how our systems grow—scalable, secure, and ready for the next decade of challenges. Your fingerprints will be all over the core tech decisions that matter most.
• Engage at All Levels: As our Microsoft partner, you’ll confidently hold technical and non-technical conversations with stakeholders across the board, building trust and alignment at every turn.
• Solve What Matters: Legacy systems? Cross-team challenges? Big leaps forward? You’ll tackle them head-on, designing solutions that not only work but endure.
• Elevate the Team: Guide senior engineers to grow their craft, challenge the status quo, and embrace continuous learning. Your leadership will set the tone for engineering excellence.
• Shape the Future: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CTO, product teams, and other leaders to ensure technology and strategy work seamlessly together.

What You Bring:

This isn’t your first rodeo. You’ve got:

• Deep experience: A decade in software engineering, with 5+ years leading teams or solving big-picture problems as an Architect, Staff Engineer, or Principal.
• Pedigree: You’ve honed your skills in large, reputable businesses where scale isn’t just a goal—it’s reality.
• Technical chops: .NET, C#, Azure, microservices, distributed systems—you know your way around the stack and have the scars (and triumphs) to prove it.
• Architectural instincts: You’ve modernized systems, tackled technical debt, and delivered solutions that scale and perform.
• A knack for mentorship: Whether it’s through code reviews or career advice, you’ve built up those around you.
• Communication superpowers: You can talk tech with engineers, strategy with executives, and business with stakeholders—and everyone leaves the room understanding you perfectly.

Take the Next Step

If this sounds like the kind of challenge that makes you lean in, let’s talk. We’re looking for someone who’s as excited about building the future as we are—and has the technical, strategic, and leadership skills to make it happen.

Software Engineer (DevOps)

$150k + super

Hybrid (2 days WFH)

75% of the work you do as a Software Engineer is about as useful as leftover screws from IKEA furniture. 

Ok, we made that % up. But you and I know a lot of your work either gets canned, never sees the light of day or worse, lacks any real-world impact.

That’s not the case here. You could contribute to a major sustainability play, directly combatting one of the biggest offenders in carbon emissions. 

The tech is cool - it’s real robots. The robot is essentially a mobile Docker container. You’d contribute to everything from AWS infra, CI/CD, DevSecOps & OpenSearch ingesting data from sensors and computer vision algo’s. 

The robots are already fighting global warming, with bots deployed in Australia and the US.  You can can expect significant team and customer growth with Series A funding due to be locked in Q1 of 2025. 

And that’s where you come in. Scale. 

As this team of 25 (a combo of tech, production and commercial) shifts the focus from start-up, to scale-up, things need to change. 

Your impact will be in the systems architecture. Focused on software and cloud infrastructure, data management and observability. 

You’ll work from the robot up, developing and automating workflows, building cloud components and implementing security measures. 

It’s a flexible hybrid set-up. Most of the team are in at least 3 days a week because they get to come and play with 3D printers, the robots and because they seem to have fun at work. But there are not hard and fast rules around flexibility. 

What you’ll need:

• Experience with DevSecOps workflows and automation that lift team performance 
• Experience in building and managing AWS, docker, opensearch/splunk components 
• Knowledge and experience of key programming languages (C++, Python)
• Experience with professional software engineering best practices including code review, source control, CI/CD, test framework development and operations
