Lead software engineer

Melbourne
Plexus
Software Engineer
Posted: 25 May
Offer description

We care less about your CV and more about how you work. The people who thrive at Plexus share three things:

You get the job done — fast. You deliver outcomes, not activity. You don't wait for perfect information or perfect conditions. You figure it out, you ship it, you move on. If you say you'll do something, it's done.

You're always getting better. You actively seek feedback and act on it. You pick up new tools and ways of working without waiting for a training course. You treat AI and technology as something to master, not avoid. Six months in, you should be noticeably better at your job than the day you started.

You own the outcome. You don't wait for someone to remove blockers — you remove them yourself. You think about what the business needs, not just what your role description says. If something needs doing and you can do it, you do it.

The Role

Plexus is rebuilding the way enterprise legal teams work — AI-first. Our engineering squad is small, sharp, and shipping fast. We need a senior, hands‐on technical leader to raise the bar.

This isn't a management track. You'll lead through code, architecture, and the energy you bring to the squad. You'll ship every week. You'll set the standard others follow.

The work? Pulling a fragmented platform into one product. Building AI agents that take legal work off lawyers' plates. You'll help shape the Legal Operating System we're building.

What you'll do
* Ship code every week — this role is hands‐on by design
* Lead architectural decisions across the stack — backend, frontend, infrastructure
* Review and shape every meaningful PR — set the bar the squad codes to
* Use AI tools daily — and push the squad to do the same
* Lift the engineering team's energy and quality by what you build, not what you say
* Help unify a fragmented platform into one product
What we're looking for Non‐Negotiables
* You've led at the squad level and you still ship code daily
* AI writes the code in your daily workflow
* You're language‐agnostic and comfortable across multiple clouds (AWS plus GCP or Azure)
* Energy, Positivity, Pragmatism
Ideal but flexible
* B2B SaaS background at a startup or scale‐up, where ownership is assumed
* Experience leading squads through ambiguity or rapid change
* Visible code — GitHub, open source, technical writing, talks
Why Plexus
* Use the AI tools you already love — and shape how the team uses them
* Build for real customers — Coca‐Cola, Nike, L'Oréal, PepsiCo, Asahi, and Woolworths run on Plexus
* Small enough that your work matters — big enough that it scales globally
* We're not done yet — and the next chapter is yours to shape

Legal protects 90% of enterprise value. In most organisations, it's still slow, expensive, and stretched impossibly thin — one lawyer for every 500 employees. Nine out of ten legal tasks go unsupported.

Plexus is the Legal Operating System for the modern enterprise. We help in‐house legal teams automate and scale legal work across the business — faster, with less cost, and less risk.

We're trusted by Coca‐Cola, Nike, L'Oréal, PepsiCo, Woolworths, and Asahi. Our clients report 65% productivity gains.

We're not a law firm. We're not a traditional software company. We're building something new — and we're not done yet.
