Join to apply for the Lead Engineer (Technical Delivery) role at Bilue
Hello, we’re Bilue - a leading design and development agency specialising in mobile, cloud, web, and emerging technologies.
Bilue was founded by Cameron Barrie, an app developer with a vision to help Australian companies design and deliver cutting-edge digital experiences. What began in Cam’s living room has grown into a thriving company with a team of 50+, and offices in Sydney and Melbourne. For more than 13 years, we’ve partnered with some of Australia’s top brands to create innovative, human-centred digital solutions.
About the Role
As a Lead Engineer (Technical Delivery) at Bilue, you will collaborate with our product, project, and UI/UX teams to design and deliver high-quality technical solutions for our clients.
This role is ideal for a Principal Engineer or Tech Lead looking to expand beyond pure engineering into solution architecture and technical leadership, while remaining hands-on in defining and driving delivery. With a strong software engineering background, you will take on solutioning, project coordination, and technical leadership, guiding teams to build exceptional digital products.
A background in consulting is ideal, demonstrating the ability to work collaboratively with clients and stakeholders to design and implement solutions across various technologies is essential. Proficiency in cloud-native backend development using Azure and AWS, coupled with a strong understanding of digital channels (mobile, web, and portals), is required.
Key Responsibilities
Stakeholder Management
* Collaborate with senior business leaders, product managers, designers, and business analysts to understand business requirements and translate them into actionable technical solutions.
* Facilitate communication between technical teams and non-technical stakeholders to ensure alignment on project objectives and deliverables.
* Serve as the primary technical contact for stakeholders, managing discussions and decision-making to ensure expectations are met.
* Lead the discovery and design of greenfield solutions, evaluating technologies, frameworks, and architectures in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
* Develop solution designs that address business needs, prioritising scalability, performance, and security.
* Guide technical teams in adopting best practices in architecture and development to align with organisational standards and technology strategies.
* Coordinate with product, UI/UX, and technical implementation teams to ensure seamless platform design and delivery.
Technical Documentation
* Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation, including architecture diagrams, design specifications, integration architecture, and API specifications.
* Ensure documentation is clear, detailed, and accessible to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
* Review and refine technical documentation as part of governance processes, ensuring compliance with industry standards and policies.
Technology Leadership
* Design and implement solutions leveraging Azure and AWS backend services, ensuring optimal use of cloud resources for reliability and scalability.
* Stay informed about emerging technologies and industry trends, applying this knowledge to influence technical decisions and innovations.
About You
* Minimum of 7 years of experience in solution/technical architecture, technical leadership, or engineering leadership roles within digital product teams or consultancies (not large-scale enterprise environments).
* Strong understanding of microservices, API design, and security best practices, with a focus on pragmatic, scalable solutions over rigid enterprise frameworks.
* Demonstrated experience in cloud-native backend development on Azure and AWS, particularly in agile, product-focused environments.
* Expertise in client-facing digital channels, including mobile, web, and portals, with a strong emphasis on user-centric solutions rather than enterprise-grade systems integration.
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage cross-functional teams, clients, and stakeholders in fast-moving projects.
* Strong technical leadership and delivery management skills, with a focus on shipping digital products rather than managing large, bureaucratic programs.
* Proven experience in developing and maintaining digital products, ideally in startups, scale-ups, or consulting teams delivering modern digital solutions.
* Experience working in consulting environments, delivering tailored digital solutions to clients, rather than overseeing monolithic, long-term enterprise implementations.
Life at Bilue
* Client-focused: We are dedicated to delivering exceptional value to our clients while supporting each other to achieve collective success.
* Flexible work: We offer 1-2 days per week in the office, balancing flexibility with the expectation that you'll go the extra mile for our clients when needed.
* Professional development: We’re committed to your personal and professional growth, offering continuous learning through Go1 (which provides unlimited access to a wide range of courses), along with support from our dedicated internal performance coach.
* Annual events: We organise annual events to foster in-person connection and team collaboration.
* Flat structure: We operate with a flat structure, where our casual, approachable executive leadership team (ELT) ensures everyone’s voice is heard.
* Internal communities: We build and nurture internal communities for knowledge sharing and collaboration, keeping everyone connected and informed.
