Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Description Nexl Full time $120,000 - $200,000 per year
Description

Nexl is the fast-growing LegalTech company on an ambitious mission to elevate the business of law.

We build an AI-driven CRM and growth intelligence platform that brings a firm's internal and external data together so lawyers, marketing, and business development can collaborate, spot opportunities, and grow revenue. 

Recognised by the Financial Times, Deloitte, and the Australian Financial Review as one of the fastest-growing businesses, Nexl is trusted by 150+ firms globally. 

We've recently closed a $23 million Series B led by Tidemark Capital, accelerating our mission to transform how law firms grow by uniting lawyers, marketing, and business development into a single growth engine.

The Opportunity

As we scale our Product & Engineering organisation and expand our Sydney hub, we're looking for an experienced Tech Lead to shape, build, and guide one of our cross-functional squads across AI, Legal, Marketing, and Business Development.

As a Tech Lead, you'll sit at the intersection of hands-on engineering, technical leadership, and product delivery. You'll still write code and ship features, but you'll also bring clarity, direction, and strong technical judgment to your squad. You'll influence architecture, mentor engineers, elevate engineering standards, and partner closely with Product to deliver meaningful, customer-focused outcomes. 

This role is ideal for someone who loves building, coaching, decision-making, and being deeply embedded in how ideas become products. We're looking for a leader who thrives in a fast-paced SaaS environment where ownership, autonomy, and collaboration matter. 

This role is open to candidates based in Sydney, as we're building greater team density around our primary engineering hub.
