Job description

Overview

Fusion5 is a Transformation Partner. Across Australia and New Zealand, we help ambitious organisations go beyond by unlocking greater value, innovation and impact from their technology investments. Across business applications, AI, cloud, data, integration and managed services, we bring together connected solutions that solve real business problems and deliver lasting value. We're deeply committed to our customers' success, and we bring that same energy and care to supporting our people.

We're now looking for a Team Lead to help lead and grow our Australian Data & Integration capability. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys staying close to the tech while leading a team - setting direction through delivery, mentoring, and strong engineering leadership.

This is a great opportunity to step into a role where you can shape both people and platform, supported by a well-established trans-Tasman practice with strong momentum.

What You'll Do

• Lead and grow a high-performing cloud integration team across Australia
• Hands-on leadership role with real influence on delivery and engineering direction
• Shape scalable, cloud-native integration solutions with Fusion5
• Uplift team capability through coaching and mentoring, building a strong, accountable engineering culture
• Provide technical leadership across delivery, guiding solution direction and supporting the team through complex challenges
• Design and deliver cloud-native integration solutions, primarily across AWS, including APIs, event-driven systems and platform integrations
• Guide best practice across DevOps, CI/CD, security, and observability within the integration platform
• Work closely with customers and internal stakeholders to translate business requirements into scalable technical solutions
• Drive consistency in engineering standards, code quality, and delivery approaches across the team
• Support project delivery, including planning, resourcing, and technical oversight
• Contribute to the evolution of Fusion5's data and integration capability, including tooling, frameworks, and reusable assets
• Support the growth of the team through hiring and onboarding as the practice expands

What You'll Bring

This role suits someone who enjoys leading from the front - combining strong technical depth with people leadership, bringing an AI-first mindset to how solutions are designed and delivered. You\'re likely to bring:

• Proven experience working across both client-side and consulting environments, with a strong understanding of how to operate in each
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers within integration or platform teams
• Strong background in data, integration, or closely related technical domains, with cloud-based delivery experience (AWS preferred)
• Experience designing event-driven and API-led architectures in modern environments
• Hands-on development experience across backend, APIs, and integration patterns
• Strong understanding of CI/CD, DevOps practices, automation, and modern engineering tooling (including AI-assisted development practices)
• An ability to identify where AI can enhance integration patterns, delivery efficiency, or customer outcomes
• Experience working within professional services environments, balancing delivery, customers, and commercial outcomes
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to connect technical decisions to business outcomes
• A collaborative mindset and a genuine interest in developing people and building team capability

What\'s in it for you?

"Go Beyond" isn\'t a marketing line at Fusion5, it\'s the standard we hold ourselves to. It reflects a convergence of solutions, services, and capabilities that enables clients to realise their business vision, with AI as a strategic lever for transformation.

At Fusion5, you\'ll have the autonomy to shape a practice, the backing of an established trans‑Tasman organisation, and the opportunity to work alongside people who genuinely care about outcomes - not just output. We\'re proud to be a diverse, inclusive and forward‑thinking employer, and we\'re committed to creating a workplace where our people feel engaged, challenged, supported and successful. Alongside this, we offer a strong set of values and benefits that reflect how we work and what we stand for.

• Collaborative, supportive culture where people enjoy working together
• Flexible work arrangements and a genuine focus on work-life balance
• Birthday leave, volunteer days, and regular social events
• Clear development pathways and opportunities to grow with the practice

If you\'re hands-on, team-focused, and passionate about delivering modern integration solutions at scale, we\'d love to hear from you. Apply Now.

Bring your personality to your application. We value the human connection and take the time to read all our CVs - despite how helpful AI can be.
