Experience a rewarding career as a Software Engineering Team Lead.

Are you an accomplished software engineering professional looking to take your expertise to the next level? Do you have a passion for guiding and mentoring a team?

This is not a conventional leadership role. If you're a high achiever with exceptional talent, seeking a challenging opportunity that fosters growth and innovation, this position is ideal.

Unlike mega-cap technology companies where individual impact may be limited, or startups where opportunities might be scattered, Escrow.com offers a unique chance to make a meaningful difference in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

Our company operates on a global scale with a small number of high-impact teams, providing an exciting opportunity to grow a team, lead technical design, and influence a global product. With tremendous potential to accelerate your engineering leadership trajectory.

You'll have the opportunity to tackle a wide range of engineering challenges. You'll be exposed to various technologies across our businesses. Our cutting-edge frontend stack incorporates React, TypeScript, and RxJS. We deploy code to production multiple times a day.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Build and maintain a high-performing software engineering team
  • Develop solutions, define delivery goals, and lead teams to achieve them within agreed timelines
  • Nurture a strong ownership mindset and willingness to drive outcomes
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders business-wide
  • Provide leadership, training, and mentoring to other software engineers
  • Work effectively with product managers and other teams to achieve the best outcomes given various constraints
  • Cultivate a healthy team culture centered on company values
Required Qualifications:
  • 5+ years' experience building modern large-scale web applications
  • Experience leading an engineering team
  • Experience working in an agile environment, moving fast and continuously shipping
  • Good written and verbal communication skills
  • Track record of strong ownership and ability to self-manage work
  • Strong creative problem-solving and troubleshooting ability
  • Excellent technical skills, expected to engage with senior architects to contribute to technical plans and designs
  • Tertiary Degree in Computer Science/Engineering (or related); MSc or PhD a plus
Desirable Skills:
  • Extensive experience managing multiple software engineering teams
  • Hands-on experience across end-to-end technology stack (infra, database, integration, networking, front-end, and back-end application development)
  • Experience with cloud services (AWS preferred)
  • Experience with SOA, microservice, and containerisation architecture
  • Experience with modern JavaScript frameworks, such as Angular, React, or Vue
  • Experience with Python, Go, PHP, .NET
  • Experience developing public-facing APIs
  • Strong understanding of web security best practices
  • Domain knowledge in the FinTech space
Benefits:
  • A meritocratic culture that empowers employees to take ownership and fast-track their careers
  • Weekly Town Halls with CEO Q&A sessions
  • Friday lunches - weekly catered meals from local restaurants
  • Fully stocked kitchens with beer taps
  • Hack-a-thons - quarterly company-wide event for creating solutions to existing problems and winning prizes
  • Fun events and activities
  • Located at Grosvenor Place, home to Freelancer HQ, offering harbour views and weekly classes, activities, promotions, competitions, and deals

Join us in making a difference every day – all tasks contribute to improving users' lives globally. Fast-track your career with a meritocratic culture, renowned for hiring into senior roles from within and producing many business and product leaders in the technology industry.
