Lead Engineer

We’re partnering with a fast-growing digital bank that is significantly expanding its technology capability and building out a new Sydney engineering team.

This is a genuinely hands-on Lead Software Engineer role for someone who wants to stay close to the code while also helping shape/hire the team, build engineering standards and guide technical direction.

You’ll be working directly with the CTO and taking ownership of software that supports new products, customer growth and a broader digital transformation.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead a small team while remaining around 50–75% hands-on
• Build and deliver across C#, .NET, React and Azure
• Own features from design through to production
• Help shape engineering standards and ways of working
• Work directly with senior technology and business stakeholders
• Contribute to architecture and technical decision-making
• Help hire and develop additional engineers as the Sydney team grows
• Build scalable APIs and services supporting a growing digital platform

What we’re looking for

• Strong commercial C# / .NET experience
• React experience
• Azure or another major cloud platform
• Experience with APIs, distributed systems and modern engineering practices
• CI/CD, automated testing and Infrastructure as Code exposure
• Previous experience leading or mentoring engineers
• Strong communication and stakeholder skills
• Someone who can think independently and make pragmatic technical decisions

Financial services experience is useful but not essential.

This will suit someone who enjoys smaller, high-quality engineering teams where you can have genuine ownership and influence, rather than operating as one engineer within a very large technology function.

**Salary $200,000 - $220,000 plus super - hybrid working.
