Tech Lead

Property management gets a bad rap. There are some big, juicy problems that need to be solved to make things easier and fairer for everyone involved. In the time it takes you to read this job ad, 21 tenants will be approved giving property owners new tenants and property managers new relationships to manage. Application forms need to be processed, payments managed, maintenance done, inspections completed. How do we make this experience not only frictionless, but FUN, for everyone involved?

That’s why we’re here. Kolmeo is on a mission to revolutionise the industry and change the way people think about renting, owning and managing property. Since 2020, we’ve seen half a BILLION dollars in payment transactions soar across our platform, while 469,417 workflows have been ticked off (our users are productivity obsessed). And we’re JUST getting started.

The future is blindingly bright at Kolmeo. We’ve got BIG plans (and an abundant amount of resources to really change the game), but there’s just **one thing** missing: YOU. Will you accept this rose and join Kolmeo as OUR next Tech Lead?

**Hey, before we hit the nitty gritty **

**So, here’s the low down.**

As a Kolmean (that’s what we call our team members), you’ll have both a job title, like Tech Lead, and a **squad**. Together, you’ll tackle spicy challenges, like how to streamline payments between tenants and owners, for example. Or how to save property managers time in their day-to-day tasks using AI. You’ll have tasks that you’re responsible for on your own, as well as tasks you’ll contribute to as part of larger company-wide projects.

**Our story**

With more than 15 years of adventures in proptech, we’ve got the ‘inside scoop’ on what worksand what needs a little extra TLC. In fact, we were born out of a property management company, so we intimately understand the joys and sorrows of our customers (they’re at the heart of everything we do).

Kolmeo gives real estate agencies all around Australia access to the right tools and technology to perfectly balance the relationship between tenants, owners, and property managers. We believe in our heart of hearts that it's possible for people to truly love renting, owning and managing properties - it’s what gets us out of bed (that, and coffee), and why we love what we do.

**Here’s what we’re looking for**

Kolmeo is on the hunt for a Tech Lead to build and maintain the technology needed as well as coach and mentor other developers to produce high quality, scalable and well considered solutions for Kolmeo’s Property Manager app (Pro). As a superstar within the Engineering team, you’ll work alongside the Head of Engineering to collaborate, lead, and build high quality reusable code. You’ll support the development of everyday tools so we can help property managers complete their tasks more efficiently while on the go, and to enable rental inspections as part of a single integrated property management platform.

**A day in the life of a Kolmeo Tech Lead**
- Build relationships with other members of the technology leadership team
- Collaborate with the UI engineers and other developers
- Build high-quality reusable code
- Mentor and coach your team to deliver high quality code
- Identify and manage areas of technical improvement within your squad

**To hit this job out of the park, you MUST have**:

- Experience with Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence, BitBucket)
- Desire to learn, develop and problem solve
- Ability to work effectively in a team environment
- Attention to detail

**Your life isn’t set in stone, so why should work be, too?**

We’re a team of over 100 strong property management specialists and tech-xperts based in Melbourne, working all around Australia. When it comes to where and how we work, ‘flexible’ is our middle name. So whether you’re a morning person, night owl or a school drop-off legend, we’ll empower you to manage your energy, not your time

**Perks (yep, we got ‘em)**
- **Let’s get social**: It’s cliché but yes, we work hard and _play even harder_. Jump on the team lunch train, clink glasses with your coworkers at pre-Friday drinks (Thursday night tipple, anyone?), strike pins at bowling, battle it out in a table tennis tournament, or simply sneak a cheeky donut (we’ve got a wicked sweet tooth). Got an idea? We’re ALL ears.
- **Recharge Days**: Score a bonus day off every quarter because recharging is just as important as charging on with the work
- **Learning and Development**: Get access to online platforms to develop and boost your awesome skills.
- **Volunteer Day**: Take a day off and give back to a charity that’s important for you, like the Foodbank Food Drive or Fundraising Morning Tea.
- **Genuine support**: We’re proud to offer confidential counselling services for personal or work-related matters so you know you’re never alone.
