Title: Lead Software Engineer

Location: This is a hybrid-based role in Sydney. You must have current working rights in Australia.

About The Role

This is a hands-on role where you will be designing solutions, leading projects and still developing code. As a consultant, you're all about asking the right questions, understanding the problem and need, thinking outside the box to scope & shape the work, having good agile and clean code practices, developing strong relationships and collaborating on the bigger picture. 

We work on problems our clients aren’t able to solve themselves, and each client will have different needs, tech stacks and challenges. You will be involved in different projects that cut across a range of digital capabilities, while driving AI powered engineering practices and/or developing AI solutions. In one project, you might be developing agents, and the next project might need you to design a new system or platform features.
