Some engineers just want to be left alone to code.

They want to take on scaling puzzles that keep others up at night.
Coach smart, ambitious people.
Turn legacy complexity into elegant, future-proof architecture.
Be trusted with the hard decisions,the ones that impact millions.
If that’s you, read on.
We’re hiring a Lead Engineer to help shape one of the most widely used SaaS platforms in the region.
This is real technical leadership, not a figurehead role.
You’ll be hands-on with architecture and delivery, lead conversations that define the way we build, and guide talented engineers through complex, meaningful work.
You’ll be part of a deeply capable product and engineering team, working across C#/.NET, React, SQL Server, and AWS but you’ll also have the freedom to explore new tools, modernise systems, and influence the long-term direction of the platform.
You’ve done scale before.
Thousands to millions of users doesn’t scare you.
You’re the calm voice when systems break and the one who helps make sure they don’t.
You’ll lead engineering standards across teams, audit codebases for security and testability, and help shape the technical roadmap with product and design peers.
But this isn’t just about systems and scale, it’s about impact.
You’ll be building tools that help small businesses thrive: automating the boring stuff, surfacing insights that lead to better decisions, and connecting customers to the data, advisors, and apps they need to grow.
When you do your job well, millions of people feel it and that matters.
So what’s in it for you?
You’ll be seriously looked after not just with a great salary, but with real, meaningful benefits that respect your time, energy, and life outside work.
Annual employee share grants
Wellbeing leave days, plus additional annual leave
26 weeks paid parental leave
Hybrid, remote, and flexi hours available
Latest tech and AI tools provided
Carbon neutral and sustainability-focused
Access to premium private health cover
Dedicated learning & development budget
Clear technical career paths and progression frameworks
Focus on internal mobility and cross-functional project work
Inclusive, engineer-led communities and resource groups
And believe it or not, there’s even more benefits...
But this ad’s already long enough.
So if you’re curious (and you’ve read this far), let’s talk.
Apply now or Email Dani: and let’s build something exceptional together!
