Sydney, New South Wales, Australia The Onset Full time
Overview

The Onset, Sydney, Australia — Hybrid: 3 days in the office, 2 days WFH. Lead Engineer | Hands-On | .NET, React, Azure. You'll lead a small team of four senior engineers while staying close to the code yourself. You'll be the one setting the technical direction, designing solutions, and guiding architecture decisions, but you'll also be in the thick of it, pairing with your team and shipping features that matter.

Join to apply for the Tech Lead role at The Onset.

Responsibilities
  • You lead design and architecture with conviction, but you know how to bring people with you, not just hand down decisions.
  • You thrive on tough problems. This is a complex, high-traffic platform, and you'll often need to think on your feet, balancing short-term fixes with long-term vision.
  • You're still an engineer at heart. Clean code, CI/CD, event-driven architecture, microservices — you care about the craft as much as the outcome.
  • You'll be responsible for setting technical direction, designing solutions, guiding architecture decisions, and shipping features that matter while closely pairing with the team.
What makes you successful here?
  • You think in systems. You can zoom out to see the bigger picture — how services scale, how data flows, how everything connects — but also zoom back in to fix the details that others might miss.
  • You lead design and architecture with conviction, but you know how to bring people with you, not just hand down decisions.
  • You thrive on tough problems and balancing short-term fixes with long-term vision in a complex, high-traffic platform.
  • You're still an engineer at heart. You care about clean code, CI/CD, event-driven architecture, and microservices.
Path and culture
  • There's a clear path to step up into Engineering Manager within the next 12 months.
  • Inclusive, no-ego culture with genuine room to expand your skills and hybrid flexibility.
  • Lead with hands-on engineering while guiding senior engineers and shaping a platform relied on daily by thousands.
  • Birthday off included as part of the culture.
