Description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Software Engineer/Tech Lead - Code Plane [IC5] based in Australia. As a Software Engineer/Tech Lead, you will take a leading role in shaping developer tools and AI-powered products that transform how software is built and maintained. You will combine hands-on engineering expertise with technical leadership, guiding product direction, architecture decisions, and execution across complex code intelligence platforms. Working within a globally distributed, async-first engineering environment, you will collaborate closely with product, design, customer-facing teams, and fellow engineers to solve challenging problems at scale. This role offers the opportunity to influence the future of AI-assisted development by building tools used directly by developers and intelligent agents around the world. \n Accountabilities Lead technical direction for a team building large-scale developer products, setting architecture principles, engineering standards, and technical priorities. Drive the roadmap from concept to delivery by translating customer needs, product goals, and technical opportunities into actionable engineering plans. Build and ship complex product features hands-on while supporting engineers through technical guidance, mentorship, and decision-making. Own significant product areas, including code transformation workflows, AI-assisted development experiences, code intelligence tools, and developer automation capabilities. Partner closely with Product, Design, Customer Engineering, and other engineering teams to turn customer feedback into impactful solutions. Make architectural decisions and evaluate technical trade-offs to ensure scalable, reliable, and maintainable systems. Improve team practices around design, development, testing, code reviews, and delivery processes. Develop a strong understanding of customer challenges and agent-based development workflows to influence future product investments. Contribute to an on-call rotation and support the reliability of critical developer-facing systems. Promote a collaborative, high-trust engineering culture through proactive communication and effective stakeholder management. Requirements 8+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong background in building production software. Proven ability to provide technical leadership, guide architecture decisions, and make complex engineering trade-offs. Experience building end-user product features, ideally within developer tools, AI products, technical platforms, CLIs, or similar environments. Demonstrated experience partnering with Product and Design teams to take ideas from discovery through successful delivery. Customer-facing experience, including gathering feedback, supporting discovery processes, and incorporating insights into product roadmaps. Experience building products designed for or consumed by AI agents, such as agent tooling, SDKs, MCP servers, or agent-friendly developer workflows. Hands-on experience using coding agents and AI development tools, with a strong understanding of their capabilities, limitations, and future potential. Strong async communication skills and experience working effectively in globally distributed remote teams. Ability to mentor engineers, influence technical decisions, and create alignment across teams. Familiarity with technologies such as Go, TypeScript, React, SvelteKit, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and multi-service architectures is a plus. Experience with developer tools, code search, code intelligence, large-scale refactoring systems, monitoring solutions, or technical leadership roles is advantageous. Benefits Competitive salary based on experience, skills, qualifications, and location zone, with IC5 compensation bands ranging from approximately $96,000 to $240,000 USD. Equity opportunities aligned with company growth and success. Fully remote working environment with flexibility across eligible regions. Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI and developer tooling products with global impact. Async-first culture designed to support autonomy, focus, and effective collaboration. Exposure to complex technical challenges involving large-scale codebases and AI-powered workflows. Professional growth opportunities through ownership, leadership responsibilities, and collaboration with experienced engineers. Inclusive and globally distributed workplace focused on respect, transparency, and continuous improvement. \n How Jobgether works: We use an AI-powered matching process to ensure your application is reviewed quickly, objectively, and fairly against the role's core requirements.
