Software Engineering Team Lead

Who we are and what we do

Audinate leads the world in networked media with our "Dante" technology which is used extensively in professional audio & video applications, including live events, broadcast, entertainment venues and communication systems.  

Dante replaces all audio and video connections with a computer network, effortlessly sending video or hundreds of channels of audio over slender Ethernet cables with perfect digital fidelity. Adopted by hundreds of manufacturers in thousands of products, Dante is the de facto standard for modern AV connectivity.

You’ll find us in the largest companies and institutions like the Sydney Opera House, NFL Media Headquarters, Microsoft, major universities and even a 900-year old cathedral featured in Harry Potter. 

About the role

We are seeking an experienced engineering lead to play a significant role in directing and developing our future video and audio products. You will be a local leader, balancing long-term roadmaps and short-term priorities.

You will build and manage a team, align with the wider Product Development department, prioritise tasks and be involved in all stages of the SDLC. You will represent the team in planning and status meetings, providing guidance on the technical aspects, and have hands-on experience with development and project tasks.

What we're looking for

If you've got experience delivering complex software products and managing or mentoring a team of engineers we'd love to hear from you.

An ability to multi-task and context switch in a fast-paced, dynamic international business will be essential as well as a high degree of EQ to bring the best out of your team in an Agile environment.

Engineering leaders at Audinate work closely with product teams to ensure the translation of business requirements and customer expectations into reality and an awareness of how commercial needs impact on product development will also be very helpful.

Please note: this role combines both hands-on coding and team management responsibilities.

• Lead your team to develop the next set of software features and products for Dante AV products
• Co-ordinate with stakeholders throughout the organization and act as point of contact ensuring swift communications across geographies
• Oversee day to day operations/activities, scheduling & capacity management across releases.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor’s (or higher) degree in Electrical / Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
• High degree of EQ and experience managing or mentoring a team of Software Engineers in an Agile environment
• Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
• Experience working closely with development and product teams to understand business requirements and translate those into reliable development plans
• 10+ years of experience in C/C++ for embedded systems.
• Deep understanding of operating systems internals
• Proven ability to release, support and maintain products
• Exposure to modern software design processes and principles
• Experience in test automation (CI/CD) and unit testing (e.g. TDD, BDD)
• Ability to multi-task and context switch in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, yet maintain focus on the most important tasks and responsibilities at hand

What you’ll experience with us

With us, your ambition extends as far as our reach. Working alongside experts and enthusiasts from different backgrounds, you’ll refine your skills as we define our products. We’ll experience and share a purpose we can see and hear as we pioneer the future of AV together.

In addition to a competitive salary, annual bonus and equity incentive plan, you’ll experience our diverse, values-based culture and a range of benefits such as flexible working through to volunteering leave.
