Engineering Tech Lead

Join our Technology team in our Sydney office as an Software Engineering Tech Lead transforming one of our critical customer facing platforms. Coming from Equifax’s significant data and technology investment, you’ll be delivering the transition of one of our core legacy systems from AWS to a new GCP based global platform that strengthens our data driven decision-making and AI/ML capabilities. You’ll be the technical lead responsible for taking us to a best-in-class, automated, and secure platform that will further support the people, business and communities that we support.

You’ll have a roughly 50/50 split between hands on technical work vs leadership. You’ll initially lead 2 to 3 senior engineers onshore with a larger contingent of engineers across our global teams, and you’ll be doing code reviews, delivering technical designs and architecture work, as well as supporting general process improvement and automation within the engineering practice. 

What you’ll do

• Lead software engineering for a critical platform and support its transition to a new cloud environment and capability (AWS to GCP and Angular as front end) 

• Manage a small team of senior engineers onshore as well as a larger group of offshore team members

• Build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders including product, business and sales partners 

• Leverage strong experience in full stack software development and public cloud like GCP and AWS

• Ensure compliance with EFX secure software development guidelines and best practices and responsible for meeting and maintaining QE, DevSec, and FinOps KPIs

• Facilitate Sprint planning, Sprint Retrospectives, and other team activity

• Responsible for implementation architecture decision making associated with Product features/stories, refactoring work, and EOSL choices

• Create and deliver technical presentations to internal and external technical and non-technical stakeholders communicating with clarity and precision, and present complex information in a concise format that is audience appropriate

What experience you need  

• 7+ years of software engineering experience in an enterprise environment (Java based preferably) 

• Experience managing, supporting and mentoring a small team of senior engineers

• 4+ years experience with Cloud technology: GCP, AWS, Azure 

• Experience designing and developing cloud-native solutions

• 4+ years experience deploying and releasing software using Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, understand infrastructure-as-code concepts, Helm Charts, and Terraform constructs

• Experience working in an agile environment with the relevant associated tools 

What could set you apart

• Previous experience understanding a complex business and engineering environment and then migrating to a new cloud platform

• Demonstrated problem solving skills and the ability to navigate ambiguous environments while leading software engineering for a platform or product

• Strong communication and presentation skills to technical and non-technical audiences
