Job description

Full Stack Lead | Hybrid, Melbourne | $160,000 to $170,000

A Melbourne energy technology business is appointing a Full Stack Lead to own its cloud platform and the small team that builds it.

The product is already in market internationally, and the connected fleet behind it is growing quickly. You will set the architecture, lead delivery and stay on the tools.

What you'll be doing

• Owning the AWS architecture and the roadmap as the connected fleet scales
• Building and testing backend services, APIs and Vue.js applications
• Leading and mentoring the team through one on ones, design reviews and daily delivery
• Turning product goals into a clear, sequenced plan, and making the call when priorities compete
• Partnering with the security and data leads to keep the platform secure and reliable
• Owning monitoring, runbooks and on call, balancing new features with reliability

What we're looking for

• Strong TypeScript across front end, back end and APIs, ideally Node.js and Vue.js
• Deep AWS experience designing, deploying and running production infrastructure, not just using individual services
• Experience with connected hardware or IoT, and the problems that sit between device and cloud
• A track record of leading or mentoring engineers, and readiness to own people management
• Sound engineering fundamentals, with AI used where it adds value rather than as a crutch
• Clear communication, including explaining technical trade offs to people outside engineering
