Sydney, Australia Freelancer.com Full time

Are you an experienced software engineering team lead looking to take the next step in your career? Do you have a passion for leading and mentoring a team? If so, Escrow.com is seeking a talented software engineering team lead to join our dynamic and fast-paced environment

This won't be your typical cog-in-the-machine type of job. If you're a high achiever with talent, looking for something more than a boring job in a corporate environment, want to work with the best and brightest and don't need to be handheld, this is the job for you.

If you join a mega-cap technology company as the 10,000th hire you might struggle to figure out the impact you are making. If you join a startup, you might get to work on the latest fad, but likely have few mentors to learn from, work on toy problems and never change the world.

At Escrow you’ll get to work on a highly diverse, global set of internet-scale challenges where you will make a meaningful difference with real responsibility, while rapidly building your skills. We run a meritocracy - we actively promote from within.

We have a very wide range of engineering challenges to sink your teeth into. You’ll get a chance to be exposed to a wide variety of technologies across our businesses. Escrow.com has a cutting-edge frontend stack incorporating React, TypeScript and RxJS. We deploy code to production multiple times a day.

  • Build and maintain a high performance software engineering team
  • Work with an engineering team to develop roadmaps, to define delivery goals and to achieve them within agreed timelines
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders business-wide
  • Provide leadership, training and mentoring to other software engineers
  • Maintain high standards of software quality within the team by establishing and practising good engineering practises and habits
  • Work well with product managers and other teams to achieve the best outcomes given a number of constraints
  • Cultivate a healthy team culture centred on company values


Required experience:

  • Experience leading a development team
  • Significant experience with building large scale web software
  • Experience working in an agile team environment, continuously shipping environment
  • Strong writing and verbal communication skills
  • Strong sense of ownership and able to self-manage work
  • Self-motivated and tracked-record of learning new technologies
  • Strong troubleshooting skills and creative problem-solving ability
  • Strong technical skills, we expect you can engage with our senior architects to contribute to technical plans and designs
  • Tertiary Degree in Computer Science / Engineering (or related); MSc or PhD a plus


Nice to haves:

  • Cloud computing experience, preferably AWS
  • Experience with SOA, microservice and containerisation architecture
  • Experience with development of public facing APIs
  • Experience with modern Javascript frameworks, such as Angular, React or Vue
  • Experience with TypeScript
  • Strong knowledge of computer networking
  • Sound understanding of OWASP and the best web security practises

Benefits:

  • A meritocratic culture with the ability to take ownership and fast track your career.
  • Weekly Town Halls with the all important Q&A session with the CEO (you really can ask him anything)
  • Friday lunches - We finish each week with a catered lunch. Every Friday we offer a different cuisine from local restaurants.
  • Fully stocked kitchens + yes we do have beer taps (and a bar with a killer view)
  • Hack-a-thons - Get hacking and programming in this quarterly company-wide event where teams create solutions to existing problems and win prizes. The 2-day event is filled with games, events, shows, food and more.
  • Fun events (we once built a soccer stadium in the office with two tonnes of turf).
  • Located at Grosvenor Place - Home of Freelancer HQ, this iconic building and location with harbour views with weekly and complimentary classes, activities, events, promotions, competitions and deals.
