Engineering Team Lead (.NET)

A successful Brisbane based technology company is hiring an Engineering Lead to head up one of its agile product teams. This permanent role offers $165,000 - $175,000 plus Superannuation, based in inner city Brisbane with hybrid working. You'll lead a cross-functional team building cloud-native SaaS products, balancing hands-on technical leadership with genuine people development. About the Role This is a rare opportunity to lead engineering on a mission-critical software platform that keeps major cities moving. You'll join a well-established technology company whose products sit at the intersection of software engineering and real-world challenges, working on problems that genuinely matter and have visible impact. As Engineering Lead, you'll operate as a true trio partner alongside a Product Manager and Designer, co-owning outcomes rather than simply managing delivery. This isn't a role for someone who wants to hoard the hard problems. The organisation is specifically looking for a leader who makes the people around them better, someone who builds psychological safety, mentors generously, and raises the bar through their own example. You'll have the technical latitude to shape architecture and engineering practice, while staying close enough to the code to contribute hands-on when it counts. If you're energised by growing engineers as much as shipping great software, this role was built for you.
