Reach Alts | Access top-tier global private markets

Reach Alternative Investments is a fast-growing, private markets solution provider, democratising access to the world's leading private equity funds. We believe that private markets should no longer be an exclusive club. We're making these opportunities accessible to Australian investors through seamless technology, education, and intelligent design.

We're now looking for a hands-on Tech Lead, someone who can drive and own the full development lifecycle, while managing a small, high-performing team. If you've worked in a growth company, enjoy rolling up your sleeves, and are excited to shape product & investment, this could be for you.

What You'll Do

• Lead and build : Guide a small engineering team to deliver a scalable, reliable platform.
• Design and deliver : Own end-to-end technical architecture and development across front-end, back-end, devops, and data.
• Collaborate : Work closely with management, sales and operations to build features that matter.
• Be hands-on : You'll write code, solve architectural problems, run standups, and unblock your team.
• Wear multiple hats : This role will see you wearing a number of hats, product thinking, infrastructure, data and everything in between.
• Innovate : Bring cutting-edge ideas to life, especially in areas like AI integration and data analytics.

Your Skills

• 6+ years of software development experience, ideally in fast-paced environments.
• Strong full-stack skills: ReactJS, Node.JS, SQL (Postgres or MySQL), REST APIs, cloud-native architecture (ideally AWS).
• Experience with infrastructure-as-code, CI/CD, version control, and devops workflows.
• Previous leadership experience (formal or informal), ideally in a startup or scale-up.
• Clear communication and product intuition — you know how to translate business needs into elegant tech solutions.
• A builder's mindset: pragmatic, curious, collaborative, and delivery-focused.

Bonus Points For

• Experience integrating or working with AI/ML APIs or tools.
• Familiarity with data pipelines, analytics infrastructure, or financial services.
• Exposure to tools like Hubspot, CMS platforms, or customer data platforms.

Why Join Reach?

• Ownership & Impact: Help shape the future of private investing in Australia. You'll be building foundational tech, not maintaining legacy systems.
• Strong backing: VC + ASX:100 funded with a clear product vision, distribution strategy, and go-to-market momentum.
• Culture of excellence: We're flat, fast, and focused. You'll work directly with the founders and other domain experts.
