Engineering Manager

We're Hireup, delivering disability support as it should be.

Our story.
It started with a family and their challenge to find disability support that worked for them. They needed more, and knew that people with disability could have more independence, choice and control in their lives. The Hireup purpose was born, and now we strive to enable the pursuit of a good life for everyone. 

Support as it should be.
We're Hireup and we've supported thousands of clients and support workers across Australia. Now, we're on a mission to ensure that people living with disability can access the right support for the moments that matter for them. We do this through combining digital tools with the reliability of someone to help when it matters most.

The ask?
Our mission sets a new standard for disability support, working in a world of transformation whilst delivering reliable services every day. Authenticity, curiosity and tenacity is a must. Resilience will be key. We will live the 'power of yes' and push for the best (we might not always get it right) but we'll work together to tackle opportunities, hold each other up and be there in the moments that matter to you and our community.
