Are you an experienced software engineering team lead looking to take the next step in your career? Do you have a passion for leading and mentoring a team? If so, Escrow.com is seeking a talented software engineering team lead to join our dynamic and fast-paced environment!

This won't be your typical cog-in-the-machine type of job. If you're a high achiever with talent, looking for something more than a boring job in a corporate environment, want to work with the best and brightest and don't need to be handheld, this is the job for you.

If you join a mega-cap technology company as the 10,000th hire you might struggle to figure out the impact you are making. If you join a startup, you might get to work on the latest fad, but likely have few mentors to learn from, work on toy problems and never change the world.

Escrow.com operates within the Freelancer group, and is the world's largest online escrow service. We execute on a global scale with a small number of high impact teams. This is an exciting opportunity to grow a team, lead technical design and influence a global product. With tremendous potential to accelerate your engineering leadership trajectory.

We have a very wide range of engineering challenges to sink your teeth into. You’ll get a chance to be exposed to a wide variety of technologies across our businesses. Escrow.com has a cutting-edge frontend stack incorporating React, TypeScript and RxJS. We deploy code to production multiple times a day.

Requirements:

As a software engineering team lead you will report directly to the VP of Engineering and will lead an engineering team to achieve their very best. You will:

    • Build and maintain a high performance software engineering team
    • Develop solutions, define delivery goals and lead teams to achieve them within agreed timelines
    • Nurture a strong ownership mindset and willingness to drive outcomes
    • Communicate effectively with stakeholders business-wide
    • Provide leadership, training and mentoring to other software engineers
    • Work effectively with product managers and other teams to achieve the best outcomes given a number of constraints
    • Cultivate a healthy team culture centred on company values


Required experience:

    • 5+ years experience building modern large scale web applications
    • Experience leading an engineering team
    • Experience working in an agile environment, moving fast and continuously shipping
    • Good written and verbal communication skills
    • Track record of strong ownership and ability to self-manage work
    • Strong creative problem-solving and troubleshooting ability
    • Excellent technical skills, we expect you can engage with our senior architects to contribute to technical plans and designs
    • Tertiary Degree in Computer Science / Engineering (or related); MSc or PhD a plus


Nice to haves:

    • Extensive experience managing multiple software engineering teams
    • Hands on experience across end-to-end technology stack (infra, database, integration, networking, front-end and back-end application development)
    • Experience with cloud services (AWS preferred)
    • Experience with SOA, microservice and containerisation architecture
    • Experience with modern Javascript frameworks, such as Angular, React or Vue
    • Experience with Python, Go, PHP, .NET
    • Experience developing public facing APIs
    • Strong understanding of web security best practices
    • Domain knowledge in the FinTech space

Benefits:

  • A meritocratic culture with the ability to take ownership and fast track your career.
  • Weekly Town Halls with the all important Q&A session with the CEO (you really can ask him anything)!
  • Friday lunches - We finish each week with a catered lunch. Every Friday we offer a different cuisine from local restaurants.
  • Fully stocked kitchens + yes we do have beer taps (and a bar with a killer view!)
  • Hack-a-thons - Get hacking and programming in this quarterly company-wide event where teams create solutions to existing problems and win prizes. The 2-day event is filled with games, events, shows, food and more.
  • Fun events (we once built a soccer stadium in the office with two tonnes of turf).
  • Located at Grosvenor Place - Home of Freelancer HQ, this iconic building and location with harbour views with weekly and complimentary classes, activities, events, promotions, competitions and deals.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better:

  • Change lives every day – Everything we do as part of our jobs contribute to improving the lives of our users on a global scale.
  • Fast-track your career - We boast a meritocratic culture, renowned for hiring into senior roles from within and producing many business and product leaders in the technology industry.
