The Role
This is a full‐time remote role for a Lead Software Engineer. You'll own the technical direction of our platform — setting up robust engineering processes, improving code quality, and accelerating our integration roadmap. You'll work above our existing developers, establishing the systems and standards that let the team ship faster with fewer bugs.
Our immediate priority is expanding our practice management system integrations. The foundations are in place; you'll refine the architecture, establish the patterns, and make future integrations faster to roll out. Beyond integrations, you'll shape everything from infrastructure to product features.
This is hands‐on. You'll write code, not just manage.
What You'll Do
* Own technical direction across the platform
* Accelerate our PMS integration roadmap — refining existing architecture and shipping new integrations
* Set up engineering processes and standards that make the team faster and more reliable
* Mentor, unblock, and level up the dev team through code review and collaboration
* Hands‐on development — you'll still write and review code
* Drive technical decisions and own delivery quality
Who Thrives Here
* Operated at multiple levels — you've seen how engineering works at scale, but you're not precious about process when speed matters
* Ship‐first mentality — you know when good enough is good enough
* Take ownership — you fix problems, not assign blame
* Communicate clearly — you can explain technical decisions without overcomplicating things
* Use AI tools fluently — Claude, Cursor, Copilot are part of your daily workflow
Requirements
* 8+ years software development experience
* Experience setting up engineering processes at growing companies
* Worked at both startups and larger/enterprise companies
* Can architect systems AND implement them
* Comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast
Nice to Have
* Healthcare software or SaaS experience
* Experience with Make.com, Zapier, or n8n
Why Aeva
* Real impact — your work ships to production and affects real clinics within days, not quarters
* Growth trajectory — clear path to CTO as we scale the team
* Profitable — bootstrapped, not burning runway
* Small team, high trust — no bureaucracy, direct access to founders, autonomy to do your best work
Compensation
* Discussions from $120,000 AUD, with room to grow based on impact.
