Job description

This is a full time role with hybrid working, 3 days a week in our Sydney office (Surry Hills).

Everlab is an Australian healthtech startup building the platform to look after people's health for their entire lives. It's not just an app, it's the infrastructure connecting every available healthcare service to give you comprehensive data on your health and provide personalised care.

We've had a 23x increase in revenue since June 2025 and recently announced our $65m Series A round, making this an exciting time to join Everlab as we expand globally.

This role is one of our first Engineering Management hires, with our Platform team owning the cloud infrastructure that our Product runs on and the developer experience that determines how fast and how safely every other squad ships.

Your customers are Everlab's own engineers and there are 3 areas of focus; Infrastructure, Core Services and DevSecOps.

You will manage a team of 5 to begin with and we expect growth or splitting out of teams as we continue to scale.

What You Will Do

• Lead and grow the squad: own its delivery, its health, and its people. Performance, careers, hiring, and the hard conversations all sit with you.
• Own infrastructure and reliability: keep the platform dependable as the company grows into new markets, and make sure cost, observability, and on-call scale with it rather than becoming problems later.
• Own developer experience and tooling: find the friction in how engineers build, test, and ship, then remove it. Every hour you save a product squad compounds.
• Treat internal engineers as customers: measure developer experience rather than guess at it, and make the reliability versus velocity trade-off deliberately instead of by default.
• Set the squad’s direction with the Tech Lead: agree the goals and the rhythm, and keep the work connected to what the rest of engineering actually needs.
• Embed AI in how the team works: make effective AI tooling part of everyday practice, not a side experiment.

What We're Looking For

• Management experience with a platform background: you have built or run a platform, devops, infrastructure, or developer experience team.
• Real infrastructure depth: a strong technical background with cloud infrastructure (GCP or AWS), infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, and reliability and observability practice. You can engage and lead your team's technical decisions without being in the critical path on delivery
• Customer obsession for internal developers: you treat your own engineers as users, you measure the friction they hit, and you take removing it seriously.
• Sound judgement and people craft: you know when to trade velocity for reliability and when to do the reverse, and you have the management craft to grow a team through both.
• Seriousness about healthcare: you take the responsibility of building in a regulated environment seriously, particularly around privacy and patient safety.
• Startup/Scaleup experience: You've been in this phase before, you know what it's like and enjoy the variety, pace and opportunities that come with it.

Why It's Great to Work at Everlab

• Do work that matters: we're building the future of preventive health. Use your skills to prevent disease, improve access to personalised care, and reduce pressure on the health system.
• Work-life flexibility: hybrid working with 3 days in the office, plus flexibility to manage life beyond the 9 to 5 when it matters.
• Experience Everlab as a customer: full access to the Everlab health program, provided after successfully passing probation.
• Share in our success: Employee Share Option Plan included as part of your total remuneration. We grow together.
• People you'll love working with: a welcoming, mission-driven team of smart, thoughtful people doing meaningful work.

Everlab is building the health platform of the future. We exist to deliver personalised, preventative healthcare at scale, using advanced diagnostics, AI, and real clinicians to help people live longer, healthier lives.

Today, we offer Australia's most comprehensive health assessment: 100+ biomarkers tested across bloods, imaging, and physical diagnostics, reviewed by a dedicated longevity doctor, with personalised protocols to act on the findings. We re-test every 6 months. We are not a 12-week programme. We are your health partner for life.

We are a medical company that owns the infrastructure: the technology, the clinics, the clinical frameworks, and the patient experience end to end. Our AI copilot augments 180+ clinicians. Our platform coordinates 33+ diagnostic services, 1,850 partner providers, and 30+ wearable integrations. Real doctors today. AI doctors tomorrow. Same clinical frameworks.

Our founding team includes serial entrepreneurs with $500m+ in exits and a Chief Medical Officer who left surgical training to build what he believes healthcare should be.

We are hiring people who want to do the most important work of their careers. The problems are hard. The pace is fast. The mission is real: deliver as much health, for as many people as possible, at the lowest cost.

Our team works in a hybrid model, with three days per week in the office.
