Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Secure Code Warrior Full time

Are you an engineering leader frustrated by the slow adoption of AI? Are you already using advanced agentic tools in your workflow and waiting for the rest of the world to catch up? Do you believe the future of software development is deeply intertwined with AI and want to be on the team that defines what that looks like for security?

If you're ready to stop waiting and start building, SCW is looking for you.

We're seeking a Lead Engineer to be a "force multiplier" for our AI Insights team. This isn't a role for a ticket-taker; it's for a pragmatic and visionary leader who will guide a high-performing team at the forefront of the AI engineering revolution. You will be instrumental in shaping our product roadmap, mentoring a talented team, and building the tools that enable enterprises to adopt AI with a secure-by-design approach. This is your opportunity to lead, innovate, and define the future in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.


In this role you will:
  • Lead and empower a team of engineers, fostering a culture of high performance, psychological safety, and continuous learning.
  • Drive the technical and architectural direction for our AI Insights product, making key decisions for systems built with Go, TypeScript, and React on Kubernetes.
  • Act as a key partner in shaping our product roadmap and run essential team rituals like stand-ups and sprint planning to ensure the team is aligned and unblocked.
  • Mentor and coach engineers, elevating the entire team's capabilities through thoughtful code reviews, architectural guidance, and your own high-impact, hands-on contributions.
  • Champion the strategic adoption of advanced AI tools and modern engineering practices, bridging the gap between SRE principles and software development.
  • Solve complex, ambiguous problems in the evolving AI security landscape, taking ideas from research and discovery through to production.
Who you are:
  • A seasoned engineer (7+ years) with a background in engineering, and a clear drive to be a leader in the AI development space.
  • A high-performing, all-around engineer with a deep specialty in one of Go, TypeScript, or React, and broad, practical experience across the stack.
  • A power user of modern AI coding tools. You're well-versed in Cursor, GitHub Copilot (Agent Mode), or Cline and have likely experimented with headless agents like Claude Code or Gemini CLI.
  • You understand how modern web applications deliver AI experiences, with knowledge of Server-Sent Events (SSEs) and the difference between HTTP/1 and HTTP/2.
  • A natural "force multiplier" who finds satisfaction in making your team more effective, not just in your own output.
  • An excellent communicator and pragmatic leader who thrives on taking ownership, building consensus, and driving projects to completion.
Why SCW?
  • Lead the Charge: Don't just adopt AI, define how it's built. Work in an environment that matches your speed and ambition.
  • Real Impact: Build products that solve critical security challenges for enterprises navigating the AI revolution. Your work will matter.
  • Work with the Best: Be surrounded by a talented, forward-thinking team that shares your passion for technology and innovation.
  • Shape the Future: This is a pivotal role with a direct influence on our technology, our team culture, and our position as a leader in AI security.
  • Grow with Us: We're committed to your professional development on a technical leadership track in a supportive, collaborative, and exciting environment.
