Software Engineer

About Lyra Driven by purpose. Defined by people. Lyra started with a simple act. A group of engineers helped their roommates build a product from scratch. Six weeks later that product launched. Shortly after, it raised over $2M in a pre-seed round. That company was Paraform (now raised $65m series B). And that moment was the reason Lyra exists. Since then we have become a collective of 70+ top-tier engineers across Australia, partnering with 50+ startups across Silicon Valley to build, design, and ship products that matter. Our mission is simple: build, teach, and grow. Join Australia's top engineering talent, building software for Silicon Valley startups. About the Role As an entry-level engineer, you embed directly with a partnered client startup and take end-to-end ownership of a workstream. You're given the opportunity to make the technical calls, commit on timelines, and deliver outcomes the founder cares about - without the pressure that a typical FDE would take on. This isn't a ramp-up role. You're generating value from week one: debugging deep in the client's systems without flailing, and providing value to clients drama-free. What we're looking for Proficiency in full-stack engineering with Next.js / TypeScript and/or PythonHigh achievement in academics or extracurricularsYou are curious about how things work and have innate ability to problem solve - this is crucial as you won't always have the information you need to move forwardStrong client-facing communicationBased in Australia Benefits Free catering daily, plus drinks and snacks provided.Access to our Silicon Valley VC & founder network.Receive top-of-the-line work equipment.Hybrid work with access to our Barangaroo office.Weekly sports and activities funded by Lyra.
