Lead Full-Stack Developer + Engineering Team Lead | .NET / React

Lead Full-Stack Developer + Engineering Team Lead

$180k-$200k + Super | Sydney Hybrid | 2 days per week

We’re hiring for two separate senior engineering roles with an established Australian SaaS business.

Both sit within the same full-stack product environment, but suit two different career paths:

1. Lead Full-Stack Developer — a senior technical IC who wants to stay deeply hands-on.

2. Engineering Team Lead — a player-coach who enjoys leading engineers while remaining technically involved.

The environment includes C#/.NET, React, Angular and modern AI-assisted engineering tooling.

1. Lead Full-Stack Developer

$180k-$200k + super

This is a lead-level individual contributor role, not a people-management position.

You’ll take complex product features from an initial problem through design, development, testing and production, working across C#/.NET on the backend and React on the frontend.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Owning complex customer-facing features end to end
• Building across C#/.NET and React
• Solving ambiguous technical and product problems
• Mentoring and upskilling other engineers
• Working closely with Product and contributing to technical direction
• Using Claude Code, Codex or similar as part of your normal engineering workflow

You’ll bring:

• 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
• Strong commercial C#/.NET and React
• Genuine full-stack product development experience
• A track record of independently owning features through to production
• Strong communication and technical influencing skills

They’re looking for a Lead/Principal-calibre engineer who wants significant technical ownership without moving away from hands-on development.

2. Engineering Team Lead

$190k-$200k + super

This is a genuine player-coach engineering leadership role.

You’ll lead a team of approximately 4–8 engineers while remaining involved in designing and building the product yourself.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Leading, coaching and developing engineers
• Owning team performance, delivery and technical outcomes
• Setting and raising engineering standards
• Staying hands-on across a full-stack product environment
• Working closely with Product on priorities and technical direction
• Identifying problems and actively driving solutions

You’ll bring:

• Engineering leadership experience, ideally including direct reports
• Strong full-stack software engineering capability
• React or Angular frontend experience
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals
• Excellent communication and influencing skills
• Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools such as Claude Code or Codex

.NET/C# experience is highly regarded but isn’t essential for the Team Lead if your wider backend engineering fundamentals are strong.

The opportunity

You’ll be joining an established SaaS product environment with significant new development and a strong emphasis on engineers who take ownership, solve problems and deliver outcomes.

Both roles offer:

• Up to $200k + super
• Sydney hybrid working, 2 days per week
• Modern full-stack product development
• AI-assisted engineering workflows
• Significant ownership and influence
