Role Details:

Talent International, a leading Australian recruitment firm, have been engaged by our long-standing client, a cutting-edge technology organisation, to help appoint a Technical Lead for their Solutions Team. This is a newly created role, born out of rapid business growth, and offers a rare opportunity to shape and lead technical delivery across high-value bespoke customer solutions.

As the Technical Lead, you will be instrumental in:

• Setting up systems, DevOps processes, and plugging technical gaps across greenfield projects.
• Playing a key role in transitioning a single large engineering team into four smaller, high-performing squads.
• Taking the lead on architecture, platform setup, and technical direction across web, cloud, and IoT-focused solutions.
• Working directly with customers to understand and validate requirements, and acting as the escalation point for complex or unique solutioning.
• Driving quality, structure, and process improvements across the software lifecycle, including CI/CD, infrastructure, and delivery practices.

You will be the Tech Lead of a newly formed Solutions Team (2-3 engineers), and collaborate closely with other tech leads, operations, and stakeholders to ensure scalable, maintainable, and reusable customer solutions.

Required Skills and Experiences:

• Deep experience with TypeScript, AWS CDK, and Python
• Proven experience in IoT or embedded systems is highly desirable
• Ability to deliver work through Kanban methodologies
• Experience designing, building, and refining scalable systems from concept through delivery
• Strong DevOps knowledge, including declarative cloud infrastructure and CI/CD pipelines
• Comfortable interacting directly with customers to lead technical discussions and extract requirements
• Security-conscious mindset (must be eligible to obtain a security clearance)
• Previous experience in smaller, fast-moving companies preferred – someone who can wear multiple hats and isn’t pigeonholed
• Ability to balance high-level design with day-to-day hands-on leadership and mentoring

Additional Details & Benefits:

• Permanent role within a fast-growing and future-focused tech environment
• Opportunity to work across innovative projects blending web, cloud, and IoT
• Work closely with company leadership on strategic and quarterly planning
• Contribute to the evolution of engineering processes and the broader team culture
• Interview format includes real-world project discussion, critique of sample code, and a design workshop exercise
