Kogan.com is a pioneer of Australian eCommerce. We are a dynamic and rapidly growing business. Our team believes in using & building technology to improve the online shopping experience for our customers. We are pragmatic, intelligent, fast paced and driven by seeing our software shipped to production daily.
The software we build - including www.kogan.com - is used by millions of customers. You’ll be a key member of a team that is fast-paced, independent, ambitious and proficient across the full tech stack.
Do you want to be in a role where you have the autonomy to lead key technical outcomes, work with an exciting team who work hard and play hard all whilst still remaining hands on. Then this could be your opportunity!

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• 
  
  
  
• Hands-on coding on the product, delivery of new features and functionality, and providing support to bugs.

• Lead a team of thoughtful, fast-moving, and motivated engineers. Set and define standards that improve developer workflows, recommend best practices, and help coach and mentor engineers on the team to further their professional development.
• Championing software engineering principles to deliver a better experience for our users and an engaging technology-led engineering environment.
• Design architectures and build components that deliver fast, smooth experiences to users across the world.
• Work cross-functionally and cross-team to execute on technical and business strategy and build experiences that our users will love.
• Contribute to the full development cycle: technical design, development, test, experimentation, analysis, and launch. You’ll be reviewing code and design docs, giving feedback on product specs and mocks.
• Continuously learn and improve your technical and non-technical abilities.

MORE ABOUT THE ROLE:

While no two days are ever the same, as an Engineering Lead you will be responsible for the architecture and design of our systems. In collaboration with other technical leaders in the team, you will provide input into the technical vision for our team. You will combine your extensive technical experience with your understanding of the business to guide your teams through all aspects of software delivery. The successful execution of this role will require close collaboration with other stakeholders in the business.
While the focus of this role is on architecture and leadership, you will remain hands on and work with teams to develop software solutions using agile software development practices as required. You will champion our technical practices to ensure a high-quality outcome for our business. You will share responsibility for the provisioning, deployment and operational support of the software your team builds.
You will form a part of the leadership team for your area and will be jointly accountable for the health, happiness and performance of your team. You will contribute positively to the culture of the team, build engagement and morale, be involved in recruiting, set structure and processes and generally help build and maintain a high performing team. You will use your skills and experience to guide and support our next group of technology leaders.
