Brisbane, Queensland, Australia Scout Talent HQ Full time
Lead Software Engineer & Solutions Architect

Job No: TL264812

Brisbane, QLD

Who we are?

Hi there We are Scout Talent, a company passionate about Talent Acquisition. Our mission is to connect individuals to foster the growth of companies, careers, and communities. We are a rapidly expanding tech organization that offers recruitment software to over 1200 organizations across Australia, NZ, Canada, and the USA. With a consistent revenue growth of over 30% annually, we have established ourselves as a profitable and reliable entity for more than fifteen years, driven by a strong and lasting company culture.

NetEngine serves as the Technology Division of Scout Talent. Within NetEngine, we operate developer squads dedicated to enhancing our products like the Talent Acquisition SaaS modules, along with developing top-notch software solutions for various external clients. We prioritize building enduring relationships with our stakeholders and creating user-friendly products with effective interfaces.

The opportunity

We are thrilled to present an exciting opportunity at NetEngine, merging the technical proficiency of a Senior Engineer with the strategic acumen of a Solutions Architect. In this vital role, you will bridge development and strategic consultancy for clients, catering to their requirements while enhancing our technical prowess. Your background as a developer will be pivotal in resonating with developers aspiring for growth. Come onboard to steer innovative solutions and impactful leadership by merging strategic insight with hands-on execution.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead and steer the technical direction for our proprietary products, including the Scout Talent suite and Marketplace, in addition to client projects.
  • Comprehend the nuances of each project, define technical necessities, and efficiently allocate resources.
  • Shape the overarching technical strategy for projects, converting stakeholder briefs into comprehensive technical specifications covering various aspects from dev ops to design.
  • Recognize and tackle skill deficiencies within our development team, actively engaging in upskilling endeavors.
  • Maintain rigorous security standards, preemptively identifying and mitigating risks.
  • Supervise code quality, deployment, and project delivery, ensuring adherence to established benchmarks.
  • Act as a knowledgeable advisor for the team, fostering informed decision-making.
  • Collaborate with the Scout Talent Group (STG) leadership team, reporting to the Head of Product and Technology while closely liaising with NetEngine's Dev Team Leaders and Scout Talent's Product Owner.

Skills and Experience:

  • Proficiency in technologies such as React, React Native, TypeScript, Ruby on Rails, AWS, MySQL/PostgreSQL, rspec, and REST APIs.
  • A solution-oriented, collaborative, and innovative mindset.
  • Leadership in technology strategy, process, and methodology.
  • Demonstrates a high level of emotional intelligence.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to cultivate and empower high-performing technical teams.
  • Strong collaborative aptitude with both internal and external stakeholders, ensuring punctual, high-quality project deliveries.
  • Well-honed organizational skills.
You will have a great time if you want:
  • Influence the technical trajectory of our proprietary products and client projects.
  • Revamp inefficient processes to enhance productivity.
  • Guide and mentor developers, fostering a culture of advancement.
  • Experience significant autonomy and accountability for shaping outcomes.
  • Engage with clients and aid in devising solutions.
  • Value representing our portfolio of brands and anticipate contributing to external communication platforms, like webinars.
  • Engage in hands-on work, interacting directly with teams, products, and stakeholders.
  • Adapt and swiftly learn to troubleshoot and overcome obstacles.
  • Contribute to mission-critical projects across diverse domains.
You may not have such a great time if you want:
  • To delegate tasks you dislike to others.
  • To solely focus on one project (this role necessitates the ability to pivot between and manage various sets of requirements).
  • To exclusively collaborate with developers (this position requires cross-functional collaboration across internal STG teams as well as client interactions where your technical expertise is needed).
  • To work entirely remotely (we advocate for in-person collaboration and expect our leaders to be accessible and lead by example).
What you will get from Scout Talent Group:

This role offers an attractive remuneration package between $130,000 to $150,000, commensurate with expertise. At Scout Talent, we are dedicated to your well-being. You will also enjoy a range of benefits, including but not limited to:

  • Purpose-Driven Mission: Engage in impactful work that shapes the future of HR-tech, recruitment-tech, and SaaS domains.
  • Industry Leaders: Positioned at the forefront of the burgeoning HR-tech and SaaS sector, with a proven track record of two decades of stability and growth.
  • High-Performance Culture: Thrive in an environment where excellence is the standard, and every achievement is celebrated.
  • Collaborative Spirit: Benefit from a collaborative environment that values teamwork, ensuring every voice is heard and every idea is valued.
  • Continuous Learning: Embrace opportunities for continuous learning and growth, ensuring your skills evolve alongside the ever-evolving tech landscape.
  • Stability Meets Opportunity: Be part of a robust 20-year-old business that not only weathers challenges but also leverages industry trends, providing job security and growth prospects.
  • Competitive Compensation: Enjoy above-average earnings, with profit-sharing incentives for those driving our enterprise forward.
  • Efficiency and Growth: As we prioritize productivity, your contributions directly contribute to business expansion, leading to personal and professional progress.

This role presents a significant opportunity to shape the future of STG's (and our clients') technical and strategic architecture, blending aspects of a Technical Lead and Solutions Architect in a dynamic and fast-paced setting. Your influence will be pivotal in attracting and retaining premier developer talent, as they recognize your mentorship as a avenue for growth and development. Join NetEngine and be a catalyst for innovative solutions and influential leadership.
